    This has been bothering me all week. How do they get the horses to breath under water, in Water Polo? Enquiring (sick) minds need to know!

    Equine snorkel tubes. Of course the mouth piece has to be fitted to a horse's individual mouth, but these mounts are worth it!

    I know the answer to this CK.
    Water polo is played on Sea Horses and that's why they can breath under water. ;)

    Don't tell anyone but water polo horses are trained by sea horses.

    Are the horses playing water polo? I don't think I have ever seen a horse play polo under water. I don't think I've ever seen a horse play polo or anyone else for that matter. My education must be lacking.
