well tell us just a little bit about the polo because let's go back to that when you were really riding and competing and what sort of initially sparked your interest that pollard was for you what what is it about the game

look it's an amazing combination of teamwork between people so a sport that involves the team you know the people that interview the dressage riders it's all about them and the horse at that particular time they've got a huge and you know they've got not only huge teams sometimes small teams behind them but they're not out there competing with them and the thing that polo allows is you've got the teamwork aspect you can play with friends you can play with family and then you've got the horses and that relationship you have with your horses because I'm not sure if you know, but if you and I are on the same handicap when you're playing polo, but you have a better horse than me, you're going to beat me.

So you have to have that cool relationship with your horse, then team that with your team.

I tended to be the higher rated player in my team as I got a bit better.

And so I was always trying to make... my other three players play better and so if i could give them little bits of information or talk to them while the play is going on so almost multitasking where i was making a play but i was looking back to see what they were doing and and having those things set up that's i think that's probably where i excelled in um in the sport of polo at my level that i did but it was lucky so yeah we grew up I grew up in the Darling Downs playing polo.

My father was a farmer, so I'm a farmer's son from Queensland.

He was one of nine kids, and a few of those played.

So for you, this equestrian lifestyle, you definitely wouldn't change that, would you?
