In 2013, 17 horses drowned in international Water Polo competition. This was the highest equine death toll since 1972, when 28 horses died in a single match (the so-called "death derby": Ecuador vs Trinidad and Tobago on July 23, 1972). It is very hard for horses to breathe underwater, even when they are given snorkels.

Water Polo is Polo played in water minus the horses and sticks. It's kind of hand ball played in water by players.
