DAY 3

True to her word the Mongolian crew get the 4.30am call and by 5.30 the team are collecting the horses while Cody, Harry and I are mixing their breakfast by van light, another thing big flash truck has is a lighting system.!

Needless to say there is nobody else around at that hour of the day, Harry's theory, get there early gets the best if not all the space, best water, Gazebo spot, etc, have everything done and well into the third cuppa by the time anybody else arrives.

Up goes the good music as the horses are eating and the daily tack is organised, then a wash and groom.

8am Harry and I are at fuck off good coffee co-op getting the crew flat whites and cronuts, a dough nut mated with a croissant to produce a seriously naughty piece of work

After smoko its leg bandages and tail platting. Carl asks Moogy if he can practice on her long hair as she doesn’t kick, not in her calmer moments anyway. Theres a lot of hoof waving going on as the flies annoy.

9.55 am The team are mounted and warming up, the next round of horses are ready and waiting and I am nervous.

At least 4 goal shots are missed in the 1^st 2 minutes. I do believe at one point Uunee tried to move the ball from in front of the goal instead of putting it in, oooooops not in gear yet.

Rob held the game together while everybody settled down and by the second chukka the team began working together

The final score of 10 – 3 shows they got it together enough for the result.

The rest of the day was taken up with watching top polo, the requisite trip to the pub as Thursday is a day off



What shall we do on this day?
