The Hurlingham Polo Association (H.P.A.) is the governing body for polo in the U.K. and indeed for many parts of the Commonwealth; it liaises with similar associations throughout the world. It has been in existence since 1874, and its object is to further the interests of polo generally, and to support by all possible means the common interests of affiliated Clubs and Assocciations.
There are 51 clubs in the U.K. who are affiliated to the H.P.A. and run tournaments for them as well as, of course, for themselves.
Individuals are members of these clubs and, as playing members, are associate members of the H.P.A. They play under the rules of the H.P.A. and are allocated a handicap according to their abilities.
The H.P.A. is interested in the welfare of ponies and has rules concerning them. Grants are given to the Pony Club and some universities for the encouragement of polo. A scholarship scheme is run for young players to go overseas to learn to play polo and to look after ponies.
