Cowboy Polo -- "Originated in Palmetto, Florida as Palmetto Polo in 1952, because the mallet handles were made out of palm [instead of from fiberglass as they are today]. "Cowboy Polo is called the “average man’s” sport because players can only ride two horses during a game, unlike traditional polo, where a string of thoroughbreds is a must. Most animals in the Cowboy Polo circuit are, in fact, quarter horses that have been around a while." [1.]
