Polo America Magazine is one of our crown jewels. Through expert content and lively photos, our coffee table editions bring players and readers together in the elegant world of polo. With the current edition we’re expanding our reach with our new Jack and Jill format that dedicates one side of the magazine to polo and the other to racing. Research indicated a major crossover between polo, fast cars and racing. Turns out, polo players love their cars as much as they do their horses.
