Exclusive preview screening of the much anticipated documentary about the world of Polo.

Polo is a high speed, adrenalin-fueled sport that attracts global attention and sponsorship from high-end brands such as Cartier, Champagne Laurent-Perrier, and UBS. Yet potential audiences for polo remain untapped. Why? One of the main reasons is that filming this incredible game for on-screen viewing is almost impossible using traditional wide ‘full field’ angle techniques akin to that used for rugby or football productions. That is until now.

Using transformative film and production techniques never used before to showcase polo, combined with compelling storytelling, this ground-breaking documentary series captures the spirit and passion of polo - both on and off the pitch – opening up the sport to appeal to a wider audience.

Featuring exclusive insights from some of the world’s best polo players, plus exhilarating match-play footage from the season’s nail-biting Gold Cup team endeavours, this documentary series draws in and engages audiences from the outset. On-pitch action is interwoven with real-life stories from those behind the scenes, sharing unique insights into player fitness, horse welfare, and the fascinating training of polo ponies.

Not only will this series excite a deeper interest in the sport amongst a wider audience than previously possible and raise awareness of the industry, it also has the power to change the perception of polo.

• This documentary series debunks the myth that polo is purely for royals and the elite, uncovering a demanding, dangerous, and extreme sport that is not for the faint-hearted. It also highlights one of the few sportswhere women get to compete alongside men equally.

• Animal welfare is an underlying theme in the documentary series, capturing the dedication and care of the ponies, plus illuminating polo’s close connection with the racing industry – featuring how racehorses are given a new lease of life by being retrained as polo ponies.

• Through courageous personal stories, the incredible contribution of para-polo to the charity Help for Heroes is shared. Here, the ponies’ role is truly remarkable, transforming the lives of soldiers with PTSD and giving them the confidence and purpose to carry on after amputations and serious traumas.
