Guide to Polo Pony Welfare Issues

As the world changes and becomes more sensitive to everyone’s causes, it is clear that we all must tell our story to ensure that our message about our appreciation and respect for our horses gets through to everyone. This message includes the reason and purpose for our organization, the reason as to why we need to grow our organization and finally, and most important, our concern for our equine polo partners—our horses. As an organization, the United States Polo Association seeks to share its philosophy and positioning with regard to our horses to ensure adherence to our guidelines and to enforce our equine rules when a violation occurs.
