Not for just the rich

The need for polo
A taste of British luxury
Other promoters of the sport in the Middle Kingdom want to push past the notion that a 300-meter-long polo field is just another playground for the newly rich.

"I started riding horses and playing polo because I wanted to lose weight," says Xia Yang, the millionaire former architect and real estate developer who founded Sunny Times Polo Club a decade ago. "It seemed like a fun and interesting way to get fit, and it worked," he says, noting that he dropped 5 kg in two months. "There were many entrepreneurs like myself who 'didn't have time for exercise'," he says, "and so I wanted to introduce the sport to others who could be motivated that way."

Xia, whose club hosted the Beijing Polo International Open in mid-September, says that while riding courses can cost 250 to 400 yuan per hour, that doesn't limit equestrian sports to the super-rich.

"Tennis lessons cost money, too," he says, noting that many people will also spend several hundred yuan on a nice dinner.

Most of all, he says, playing polo is not the sort of conspicuous consumption designed simply to shout, "I've got money!" (Or, "Daddy's got money!")

"The sport takes a lot of time and effort," says the man whose peers call him the godfather of polo in China. It's not like buying a new Ferrari and driving it down the middle of a Beijing street for all to see, he says.

Polo enthusiasts are building a sporting-horse industry that creates jobs and infrastructure, he insists. He says polo will continue to grow despite the central government's crackdown on extravagance because of its potential as part of a growing sporting-horse industry.

Xia says that's why China's polo clubs-about half a dozen in number, with additional sites hosting less formal events-still enjoy the eager embrace of local governments. He notes that events such as beach polo in Dalian and snow polo in Tianjin have made the sport more spectator-friendly.
