A fun day at the Manila Polo Club

Today my Uncle Ed invited his Manila relatives to have lunch together at the Polo Club for a belated birthday celebration (his birthday was Sept. 13) and to celebrate his cancer being cured (Yey!). It's your usual buffet, nothing unusual, but the food was definitely good.

See here the happy faces of two people who just finished eating a delicious meal!

Afterwards we decided to take a walk along the pool and explore the club. Eventually we found ourselves at the stables to check out the horses.

I've seen my share of ponies and I've ridden at least 4 times in my life in Tagaytay and Baguio. These horses, were really jaw-dropping beautiful! Most of them had backs higher than my head ... and I was wearing booths with 2 inch heels! Most of the horses were in their stables being fed or groomed, at the yard having a bath, or at the lawn chewing down the grass. Who needs a lawn mower when you've got horses, eh? We also saw one horse training in the ring. The owner was funny. He couldn't get his own foot into the stirrup without guiding his foot into it with his hand, hehehe. I guess he isn't as flexible as he used to be.

Check out my nephew, Jean-Luc. He really got a kick out of feeding the horses. See that horse on the left? It got jealous because Jean-Luc kept feeding the one on the right, so it kept trying to lunge at Jean-Luc to beg for food.

After the horses we decided to wash up. Girls being girls we explored the restroom facilities and took a few photos.

After exploring what we could of the restroom we headed over to the Polo field for a look see.

The kids frolicked on the grass and ran from one end to the other while the adults sat on the sidelines and watched them. Ok, maybe the men weren't really watching.

Afterwards we went to the poolside for a snack and to let the kids play at the playground.
One things, for sure ... EVERYONE had fun. Maybe next time I would be wearing jeans and the kids would have their swimsuits.
It was a perfect day.
