"Take the man first!"
Polo is a game of tactics and strategy. Often,
it is tactically more advantageous to "take out the man" by
riding them off the ball or keeping them away from the ball or
the line, rather than trying to hit or chase the ball.
This call from a team mate means take the man, and don't go for
the ball because they are probably in a better position to take
a shot if that rider is taken out of action and away from the
ball. |

"Turn it!"
This call by a team mate tells
a player than he or she has got time, because there are not
opposing players nearby, to turn the ball in the direction
of their goal rather than hitting it backwards. This allows the
player to get into better position to strike the ball.

"Tail
it!"
A team mate will call this
when he or she is in position to take a passed shot from the
player in front. When a player steals a ball from the opponents
he will need to hit it back towards to the horses tail since
that is the direction of their teams goal.
