Cowboy Polo
Cowboy polo is a regional historical polo variant with western/Quarter Horse context. The source base points to written rules and former organisation, but also decline and disbanding of the national organisation; the USPA source concerns polo generally, not Cowboy polo specifically. The entry is therefore downgraded to catalog-sourced and not presented as currently federation-governed.
