There are several themes that run through the spring issue. One is the development of players. Andrew Barlow describes a new initiative from the HPA and Carlos Behety tells us what the AAP is offering to foreign players to expose them to higher-goal polo. On the cover we have Tommy Beresford, who captained the English team for the Westchester Cup. In One to Watch, Tommy outlines what path he has taken to reach 7 goals.

Another topic is ponies. Probably the two top organisations in our world are J5/La Dolfina and Pieres/Ellerstina. Rob Jornayvaz gives us the background on J5 and what his family’s objectives are. Adam Snow sheds light on his role as the horse master for the FIP World Cup, where J5 provided all the ponies for the eight teams. The foundations for the Pieres breeding line was started back in the 1980s and Héctor Martelli describes why it is still one of the best.

Lastly, Adolfo Cambiaso is mentioned throughout the issue. You can read about him in the articles mentioned, and in the Action, where he won the Argentine Open and the CV Whitney. Finally, in Archive you will see Adolfo and his son Poroto have joined some of the other great father-son combinations who have won at Palermo.

There are a number of other interesting articles and I hope you enjoy the spring issue.
