This amazing competition is an event out of the ordinary: for three days polo ponies will compete in world competitions on snow. The event will start on Thursday, January 13, with a parade in the centre of Kitzb\u00fchel of the teams taking part in the competition: the athletes will parade on large horse-drawn carriages that will be officially presented on the stage set up at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.traveleurope.com\/hotel-zur-tenne-kitzbuhel\/?checkin=20110113&amp;checkout=20110115\"><strong>Hotel Zur Tenne<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Then, from Friday to Sunday, the races are held in the nearby village of Reith bei Kitzb\u00fchel. Participation is free. During the races four riders will compete trying to score points by hitting a ball of about 130 grams in weight with long wooden clubs. In those days, hotels in Kitzb\u00fchel are crowded, so early booking is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/carstenfonsdal\/3280582505\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">carstenfonsdal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kitzb\u00fchel is one of the best skiing resorts in Austria, one of the best equipped to practice all winter sports, from downhill to cross-country skiing, from snowboarding to freestyle, from sledge to horse races on snow.
