This morning, I sent out an email to a bunch of friends, and in said email, I referenced the sport of elephant polo. Some people (ahem) seem to have think I made this up. But I did not. I even have the photo to prove it. Elephant polo is most popular in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. But (here’s some trivia for you) the reigning world champion of the World Elephant Polo Association is the Chivas Regal team from Scotland. See, you really can’t make this stuff up.
Other variations of polo besides your stock equestrian and water:
Bicycle polo (read my article in this morning’s Times here); canoe polo; camel polo; golfcart polo; motorcycle polo; yak polo.

Right up there with giraffe racing and turtle surfing.
The Times article ROCKS! I emailed it to my whole family. I think all those with last names JAGER, HYMAN or a combination of the two, should start a bike polo league. Elephants…not so much.
Amazing! xo, Kimmi
