CASPAR WEST
TOM MORLEY
Beaufort Polo Club’s Polo Manager Caspar West took a tumble three minutes into his first game of the season breaking his right arm. Not the best start to the season for him, but hopefully he will make it back in the saddle for later in the year!
The Four Quarters professional player has taken a nasty knock to the face in a match and at the time of going to press was recovering well following surgery.
IN THE WARS It’s been a bit of a rough ride for these players so far this season! Everyone at the Polo Times office are wishing you a speedy recovery.
OLIVIA LAMPHEE Berkshire based player Olivia took a nasty fall riding in a point to point, another of her favourite equine past times, breaking multiple vertebrae. However, by a stroke of luck the surgeons have managed to piece her back together and she is already up and about and planning her comeback.
JAMES HARPER Poor ‘Harps’ has missed out on the start of the season for Britannia El Remanso after being sidelined in hospital with a blood infection. The word on the exercise track is that he is on the mend, out of hospital and we should see him back on the pitch in time for some of The Cartier Queen’s Cup games. In the meantime Malcolm Borwick is stepping in to fill the slot.
