“Twenty-five years ago, an opposing player’s backhander struck the mare my son Marcos was riding right in the forehead’s vulnerable triangle. She collapsed, severing her spinal cord and dying instantly. Her 450 kg body rolled over Marcos, folding him like a book. I feared the worst, but at 20 years old and weighing only 70 kg, he miraculously came out unscathed. Eduardo, your invention will protect the vital man-horse bond in polo. Thank you, and keep going.”
