In The Great Mouse Detective coloring/activity book, there is a page on how to properly write schedules on a calendar. Basil was used as the subject for when he has tea with the queen, practice his violin, and yes, this was a real entry: plays polo!
Polo? As in the game where the players ride on horses? How could a mouse play polo on a horse? Does he ride with a human on the animal? Judging by the picture of him from the coloring book, he's got his own equipment, ergo, he must be the actual rider in the game. But on what?
I then started brainstorming just for fun. What other animal more closer to his size would work? I then thought: puppies! Little hyper hound dogs, kind of like Toby, only runt-sized and can move at fast speeds. How cute and amusing that would be to see Basil playing polo with other mice on a field and they all ride on miniature canines!
It could happen, right?
If anyone decides to draw this idea, please show it to me!
