The Thai Polo Team represents our club in tournaments both in Thailand and abroad. As we would like to make Thailand better known as an active participant in the international equestrian sport activities, we find it important to use this name wherever we go. In the last two years we have taken part in quite a number of tournaments. HARALD LINK WITH HIS DAUGHTER CAROLINE In England we played for the 12 goal Cirencester Queen Mother Trophy, the 15 goal Cowarth tournament, the 15 goal Harrison and the 18 goal Challenge Cup at Cowdray and the 18 goal Cirencester Tournament. We made it to two finals in 18 and 12 goal and two subsidiary finals in Cowdray. It was a great experience and helped us to make many friends.
