Based on the Academy Awards and the Oscars in the US, the 2008 Audi Polo Awards saluted the greats of the game, both past and present.

It was an evening that allowed the most outstanding individuals, teams, patrons and ponies to be acknowledged. It was also the only occasion where the 2007 Season was formally reviewed with big screen polo action.

The evening celebrated all that is great and good in polo and the guest list read like the 'Who's Who' of polo. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Caballus lifetime achievement awards to Julian & Howard Hipwood – two legends of English and World Polo.

Winners of the Hurlingham Polo Association's Victor Ludorum awards were honoured on the evening, as were the winners of the  individual prizes for the best teams, professional players and for the first time Best Pony of 2007.

The voting committee included former England Captain Andrew Hine; HPA international committee chairman John Tinsley; the Hon Mark Vestey, representing the HPA; Malcolm Borwick, representing the British Association of Professional Polo Players and medium and low-goal player; chief umpire Robert Graham and Jose Donoso, representing high-goal players.

Over 400 players and enthusiasts attended the third annual Audi Polo Awards and enjoyed the Pommery Champagne reception, black-tie dinner, and the all important presentations, as giant screens showed footage of the best of 2007.

The Audi Polo Awards was an opportunity for London to officially welcome the new 2008 polo season and celebrate what is great about this game.  We welcome you to join us again for 2009.
