Universities has grown from  25 teams in 1991 in one tournament to 160 teams in 2020, making our National Championships the largest team equestrian championships in the world.  Schools polo has steadily grown year on year and many schools players continue on to represent their University as well as achieving higher accolades in the world of Polo.
