Polo starting to break into a trot in China

Riders swinging hard, turning sharply and charging their mounts after a ball is a sight more familiar at English country clubs, an emir's stables or the grounds of a wealthy landowner in Argentina.

But now polo, a sport played on horseback by teams trying to score goals at either end of a 300-yard field, can be played in China.

A group of elite businessmen is promoting the sport among common people thousands of years after it was first played in China.
