History:
India
spends
in
the
nineteenth
century
a
British
colony
and
the
British
military
are
excited
about
a
sport
they
had
never
seen
before,
in
which
the
game
was
played
on
two
teams
competing
on
ponies
called
Manipoor.
That
was
when
the
first
polo
club
was
established
in
Silchar,
a
near
Manipoor
area.
John
Watson
was
the
first
to
formulate
clear
rules
of
polo
in
India.
By
1860
the
pole
is
introduced
in
England.
By
then
the
sport
was
called
"Hockey
Horse".
Some
early
England
polo
clubs
were
Monmouthshire,
founded
by
Captain
Francis
or
Hurlingham.
It
is
from
here
when
the
sport
is
internationalized
and
takes
a
significant
importance
in
the
United
States,
and
England.
The
pole
becomes
part
of
Olympic
sports
in
1900
and
participate
in
five
Olympic
Games
(until
1936).
But
What
is
the
pole?
Polo
is
a
game
between
two
teams
of
four
players
each
on
horseback,
competing
for
introducing
a
ball
in
the
opposing
goal;
for
it
have
a
sort
of
deck
they
call
taco.
