As was the case last year, POLO+10 is once again present at the most important tourna- ment in the polo world – the Palermo Open. The feedback from Argentina was overwhel- mingly positive last year and reassured that we want to offer a communicative platform for the polo community that also comprises international editions, not just those that focus on European regions. But this is just one aspect of our current plans. Plenty of new countries are just starting to embark on their polo careers, including Kazakhstan and Monaco, and we have devoted some space in this edition to highlighting these countries. We published the first edition of our POLO+10 magazine at the start of 2004. Back then, we confronted some doubt as some in Germany and Europe did not consider the sport important enough for it to have its own publication. Ten years later, we are all better informed – including the naysayers. For our tenth anniversary, we would like to thank you for your generous support, friendly communication and your many new visions about the sport! POLO+10 has made friends and partners across the world and follows the sport from an unrivalled international perspective. As usual we look forward to your feedback and comments in future and hope you enjoy reading the current issue of POLO+10 World. stefanie stüting Chief editor POLO+10 world www.poloplus10.com // www.facebook.com/poloplus10 cover: Careyes polo Club photography editorial: Nicolaj Georgiew 4 polo +10 world CoNteNts CoNteNts polo +10 world 5 All eyes on Mexico 10 86 Cheval des Andes 64 british Polo Day all Eyes on MExico 10 With its long-time tradition of horse-riding, polo in Mexico is SEries: 10-goalEr 63 steadily growing in popularity.

    Daily Thai News Summary: 14 June 2016 Daily Thai News Summary: 14 June 2016 1. Dutch Investors keen on Thai infra projects Source: The Nation (link) Dutch investors have shown interest in the Thai government’s infrastructure projects, foreseeing the Kingdom’s competency to be a central attraction of the Asean region, especially the Greater Mekong Subregion, according to Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn. After meeting yesterday with the Netherlands' newly appointed ambassador to Thailand, Karel Johannes Hartogh, Apiradi said Dutch enterprises had told the ambassador they were interested in investing in Thailand and participating in its infrastructure projects. "Dutch enterprises have foreseen Thailand as a centre of Asean and a link to countries in the Greater Mekong[Subregion] and Asean. Besides investing in infrastructure-development projects, they are also interested in the manufacturing sectors and service businesses, using Thailand as a springboard to Asean markets," she said. Thailand and the Netherlands have also agreed to collaborate in technology and innovation and in the agricultural sector, particularly water management, in which that country has high expertise. 2. EXIM Bank “to be a team player in broadening global trade, investment” Source: The Nation (Link) The Export Import Bank of Thailand wants to be a team player in Thailand’s effort to expand trade and investment worldwide, said its new president, Pisit Serewiwattana. "With few branches, we are unable to compete with commercial banks, so we should set a clear policy on delivering total solutions that will not compete with them. We will combine credit facilities with trade and investment insurance to target SMEs," he said.

The funny feeling that had crept up on me on the train back to London after the match had lingered. Everything had gone to plan, and we had achieved something monumental: eight 10-goal players had come together to play at Lawns. It was a fantastic match, and the 10-goalers were able to show the virtues and dynamism implicit in the style of polo we were promoting. But I was a little uneasy. I felt strange, detached—almost depressed. It was only after that night of insomnia that I realised why: the 40-goal exhibition at Cowdray clearly marked the end of a cycle for the All Pro Polo League.
