Ed, Daniel and I had never watched polo before. There was a tournament near Daniel in Florida. We watched from the sidelines. On Sundays, people would be sitting in the viewing stands. We met this couple parked next to us and they told us what was happpening. It is a very fast and hard to follow sport. They own several polo horses and the man used to play, but not on this level. This was a huge International Tournament. One team was Black Watch, from Caracas, Venezuela. Apparently, Black Watch is one of the top Polo teams in the world.
A few days later, 21 horses died...this was one of the teams we saw on the 12th. When we heard about the deaths on the news, we were shocked and terribly saddened to hear about this tragedy.
