Thursday Video: Have Polo Pony, Will Wakeboard

What kind of hijinks do polo players enjoy in their time off? The same kind of shenanigans all equestrians enjoy — horsing around.

The inaugural Colorado Open Polo Championship is ongoing in Denver, Colorado right now, bringing some of the best international polo players to the United States for the Rocky Mountains’ first-ever tournament. With a special emphasis on younger and developing players, the Colorado Open includes several young professionals with the goal of developing high-goal polo.

Those young guys in particular are definitely making the most of some Colorado downtime. What happens when you mix a couple of teams of young professionals, a polo stallion, some open water, a wakeboard and maybe a few beers?
