Women's Festival - New Forest Polo Club

The weekend of 7th & 8th July New Forest Polo Club hosted the Women's Festival Charity event. The tournament is part of the Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA) league organised by Women in Polo.  It is designed to promote women in all all aspects of polo, from grass roots players to professionals and aims to raise the profile of women's po;o both in the UK and internationally.

The New Forest Polo Club's tournament raises money for the Women's Trust, a charity that helps women and their families to overcome the mental and emotional harm of domestic violence.
