IMPHAL, Oct 19: The All Manipur Polo Association has hailed the approval of the Manipur Pony Conservation and Development Policy by the State Cabinet.
In a statement, the association said that it has been the long-felt desire of the Association in particular, and people of Manipur in general, to have such a policy. It is understood that the Manipuri Pony is the sacred animal of Manipur that has lent its unique character of strength, agility and tenacity to the game of polo. Moreover, despite its unique adaptation to the ecology of this region, the original polo pony of the world, declared an Endangered Breed by the State in 2013, has seen its population drop perilously to approximately 500.
