An illustrious and storied history accompanies the sport of polo, spanning continents, cultures and classes.

One of the world's oldest team sports, it evolved from the training of cavalry units in Asia. Referred to as the

"sport of kings," it is no surprise that polo is a favorite among the British royal family and counts Winston

Churchill and General Patton among its devoted followers. However, delving deeper into polo's heritage, one

learns of the diverse community that has made it a global pastime.

Polo Heritage

guides the reader on a journey from Mongolia to Mexico, from Barbados to Pakistan, and inside

the most prestigious tournaments on grass, sand or snow. Traverse the historic polo grounds in India, become

immersed in the high society of British polo, learn about the Argentinian polo culture that has produced some

of the best polo families in the world. An introduction by legendary polo player Nacho Figueras is accompanied

by Aline Coquelle's original photography offering a modern, authentic perspective on the spirit of polo.
