Hurlingham Polo 1875, the brand owned by the Hurlingham Polo Association, is delighted to announce the
appointment of the world’s leading female polo player, Nina Clarkin, to their global Brand Ambassador stable.
Nina, who is rated at 10 goals under Ladies’ handicaps, comes from a family steeped in polo history. Nina’s father
and uncle had the famous Foxcote and Stowell Park teams, winners of numerous high goal tournaments in the 70s
and 80s. Her father Mark went on to be Chairman of the HPA and Nina, in her own right, has won the Cowdray
Park Gold Cup as well as numerous other tournaments around the world.
Now splitting her time between the UK, New Zealand and wherever else in the world polo may take her, Nina is
truly the epitome of “Authentically British. Absolutely International”.
“Nina is a perfect brand ambassador for Hurlingham Polo 1875; she embodies everything that the Hurlingham
brand stands for; she is athletic, brave and skilful whilst also being effortlessly smart and stylish.”
David Woodd: CEO, The Hurlingham Polo Association
‘’I am truly delighted to be chosen as a Brand Ambassador and excited about the future! I’m really looking
forward to representing such an authentic and exciting polo brand and especially one which I have seen develop
over the last few years and very much look forward in helping to create something very special.”
