        We knew a former basketball donkey named Barbara. She was so very sweet. We would stop to give her a carrot or apple, she was very used to people and very old.

      Does the horse ride along in the car with its head sticking out of the roof, or do multiple horses carry each car around the course? Or! Do horses pull a wagon with the car on it?

      I’d argue that most equestrian sports would be better with bicycles. Bicycle polo is apparently a thing.

        The title of this post can be inferred that is what was meant. Inference: “Hockey is great, but when you add horses and create polo then it’s better. What else is better?”
