POLO HERITAGE
(édition en anglais)

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.
