Henley on Thames?

My mum used to work at a school nearish Henley that had a polo team, so a good guess, but no.

As a Californian, my first and only thought is “Water or Ralph Lauren?”

(We were in the Cotswolds. The pub had parking spaces for horses, which were obviously in use given the presence of a bucket, shovel, and horse manure)

I would expect to see these things even in an empty parking space for horses. The clue I’d look for to see if one was currently in use would be the presence of a horse. Its absence would mean the parking space was not currently in use and therefore available for parking a horse of your own. Or possibly a family member in need of a good brushing and the explosive expellation of some manure.

There’s a polo club in our village (South Dorset) but I’ve never seen anyone play and know no-one who is a member. Well weird

Oh god yes. The West Wing is my wife’s comfort watch - mainly because it’s a story about competent politicians. I joke with her - I love fantasy novels. You love fantasy tv shows … :slight_smile:
