Val,
Thanks so much for your input! And I must say, I'm very jealous that
you're in Hawaii. Any chance you know Jovanna Giannasio? I rode with
her in college... she's a big polo player in Hawaii. If so, tell her
I say hi! :)

Thanks again... just hearing about your experience has got me
addicted to the sport!
