Polo Travel Insurance

What is Polo?

Polo is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team. Players score by driving a small white plastic or wooden ball into the opposing team's goal using a long-handled mallet. Polo is not only a competitive sport but also a social event and a display of skill and horsemanship.
