Polo carnivals in those early days consisted of polo matches and gymkhanas - various events such as stick and ball races, actual polo pony races and hurdle races. The height of ponies was strictly limited but as time went on it was raised from 13 hands to 14.2 hands and ponies were strictly measured and registered. After the 1914-18 war restrictions were completely lifted and the thoroughbred type could be played but many players preferred the stock horse type about 15 to 15.3 hands as being handier and easier to hit off and control. In earlier games the rules were rather different. One notable difference was that to start the play, the ball was placed in the middle of the ground and one player from each side galloped from the opposing goal to get it first.
