Summary

In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Josie Horchak heads to Wellington, Florida—the heart of American polo—to sit down with professional player and Netflix POLO docuseries star, Pamela Flanagan Devaleix. Pamela opens up about her unique journey into the world of polo, what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated sport, and why the connection between horse and rider runs deeper than most imagine. She also tackles some of the biggest misconceptions about polo, especially the false narratives around horse welfare. It’s a candid, eye-opening conversation that goes beyond the glamour of the sport to reveal the truth behind the scenes.
