Subscriber photo special – Britain’s furry
friends frolic in the coldest winter since 1963
Let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow!
With most of the UK snowed under for the country’s first two weeks back at
work after Christmas, Polo Times decided that – despite the disruption – the
unusually cold weather should be a reason to celebrate rather than despair.
So, with a lot of catching up to do to get this issue of the magazine to press,
we turned to our subscribers for inspiration, hoping they could lift our icy
spirits. Setting them a challenge in our weekly email newsletter and on the
news pages of the Polo Times website, we asked them to send in their best
polo pony pictures from the cold conditions.

And we were delighted with the response. You answered our call with 10-year-old Beya from Argentina several years ago. The mare shows
enthusiasm, sending in more than 30 photographs of your beloved mounts
here that she is now firmly tuned into the British festive spirit
playing, running around and rolling. We think it’s made for a beautiful page,
though it has to be said it will be a lot easier to look at in June!
For those subscribers in warmer climates overseas, count yourselves lucky.
There’ll be no let up in the March issue either but, with all the snow polo
finally behind us by April, we can then soon look forward to the weather in
Blighty beginning its long and lugubrious journey towards summer. Hurrah!
