Today I randomly stumbled up on a full-on polo tournament in Christchurch. With spectators wearing fancy clothes! WHAT.

I got there right at a break, and stuck around to watch a bit of the game (it was easy to watch through the fence, even if you weren't wearing fancy clothes like apparently you have to do to watch from the sidelines). After the game started back up, they played for 5 min before 2 people fell off their horses and one of them got taken off the field in an ambulance. Yikes.
