Do you remember that episode of Gossip Girl when Blake Lively jumps on a horse during a polo match and gallops off? Don’t deny it; the show is your secret pleasure, and that episode was your favorite. Taking the horse from one of the polo players and running off with it was totally bad-ass (for Gossip Girl at least). If you play your cards right, you might be able to replicate Lively’s stunt this Thursday. Now in its eighth year, the Maserati Miami Beach Polo World Cup is making its way to South Florida once again. The event brings together renowned polo players and celebrities from around the world.
