"Introduction to Polo" by Peter Grace

Peter Grace seems to have been a familiar figure in the world of polo for almost as long as I have been playing myself. Indeed, now that he has moved the Rangitiki Polo School to his own club nearby, I rather miss the sight of his pupils practising on chairs as I arrive to play at the Guards Polo Club! I have even played for the Rangitiki Team, in place of Peter, on more than one occasion - although without the benefit of a session on the chairs beforehand... 

Sixty years ago my great-uncle, Lord Mountbatten, produced his "Introduction to Polo", but with the enormous growth in the number of people taking up the sport perhaps it is time for a more modern version to help enlighten players on the intricacies of the game.

Peter is generally regarded as one of the best instructors that there is in polo. I believe that this book, with its excellent photographs taken by Mike Roberts and amusing sketches by John Board, will be a tremendous help, at least for the next sixty years, to both present and future polo players.
