International Polo Community Celebrate an End to the Year in Ultimate Style – Scotch Whisky News
German model and photographer Johannes Huebl will be in attendance to use his passion for photography to unveil the skill and craftsmanship behind the game of polo, as well as the understated elegance off the field. Johannes will showcase these images with his 150,000 followers on Instagram, which can be followed using #Salutethegame. Other guests of honour include Torquhil Ian Campbell the 13th Duke of Argyll and English professional polo player, and Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador Malcolm Borwick, who will also be on hand to immerse guests in the sport taking a polo clinic, creating and sharing his passion for the game.
Malcolm Borwick, England professional polo player and Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador commented: “As an international polo player, you get to play in some pretty special places, but the foothills of the Umaid Bhawan palace is really spectacular. India makes for an incredible cross-cultural stage to showcase polo, immersed in magnificent style with majestic company over the course of four days. I am very much looking forward to taking it all in alongside an exciting three-day 12-goal tournament.”
The event will see the international polo community come together to celebrate polo in India. In between polo games, VIPs will get the opportunity to explore the ‘Blue City’ and soak up the culture of Rajasthan with a trip into the desert, take in a Marwari Horse Show, as well as taking part in other elegant celebrations which will culminate in the exclusive Royal Salute Golden Jubilee Ball.
The tournament is the final fixture in the Royal Salute World Polo Series for 2013, showcasing the brand’s commitment to the most prestigious international polo events across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. The Royal Salute World Polo Series will continue in January 2014 with The Royal Salute Nations Cup in Dubai.
