Welcome to the fourth British Polo Day Abu Dhabi, presented by Land Rover. We are honoured to be invited back to the Ghantoot Racing and Polo Club. Founded in 1997 as a private, royal venue based on the vision of the late president, HH Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, it now operates under the patronage of his son, HH Sheikh Falah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It is one of the most prestigious polo clubs in the world and has played host to HRH Prince Charles among other dignitaries. Polo is by no means new to the Middle East. It is believed that polo began in Persia as far back as the 5th Century BC, however, the modern game as we know it was rediscovered in India in the 19th Century by the British Army. JaegerLeCoultre, responding to the need for Officers to have a watch suitable for polo developed the Reverso watch and we are delighted that they are continuing this tradition and association by being the Official Timekeeper tonight. Continuing on the military theme, members of the Cavalry & Guards regiments of the British Army will start proceedings with a game of camel polo. We are pleased to raise money for Help For Heroes and WAHA under the patronage of HH Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan in an auction this evening and we hope you will give generously. The main highlight of the evening will be the British Exiles team taking on the Ghantoot team. As ever, we’re indebted to all the partners for making this event possible. In particular Land Rover, Hackett, Oxford Group Holdings, JaegerLeCoultre, InterContinental London Park Lane, InterContinental Abu Dhabi, Virgin Atlantic, Ettinger, Charles Russell, Justerini & Brooks, Taittinger and to top it all off Gaucho have prepared a delicious dinner, bringing a flavour of Polo to Abu Dhabi. We hope you enjoy British Polo Day Abu Dhabi. The Committee of British Polo Day - Abu Dhabi

Although the ancient sport of polo began in Persia and China many centuries ago, the British reinvented the modern game in the Nineteenth Century. Sir Winston Churchill, one of the greatest proponents of the game, once famously said “a polo handicap is a passport to the world� and polo is still thriving everywhere it is played, from Argentina to New Zealand. British Polo Day carries on the tradition of the British playing polo against friends in a host of different countries around the world.

The green player has the line, and at fair speed the white player would be crossing the line without sufficient safety margin, resulting in a penalty against white.
3
When travelling in the same direction the white player may draw level with green and then force him across the line and take possession of the ball without committing a dangerous foul.
5
Two players riding for a ball from opposite directions in the open must both give way to the left and take the ball on their right or offside.

Even at a far lesser angle the white player would still be crossing the line if he continues in that direction, and committing a dangerous foul.
4
The white player may move in parallel with the line and play a shot providing he can do so without interfering with the green’s mount or causing him to check back. If white would cross the line to the dotted position it would be a foul.
6
When two players are approaching a ball in the open from different directions, the player (white), with the line of the ball on his offside, right hand side, has right of way.

The British Exiles Team is comprised of some of Britain’s top young players and a wide range of other polo enthusiasts, who play predominantly outside Britain at British Polo Days around the world – hence the “Exiles”. Stuart Wrigley is British Polo Day’s most capped player, with ten appearances in seven different countries, and he will be ably supported in the 1 position by two stalwarts of the game Rick Paton-Philip and Jamie Morrison (who is also one of Britain’s best arena polo players). 6-goaler George Meyrick, last season’s Hackett BPD Player of the Year and one of Britain’s brightest rising talents, completes this formidable team. The British Exiles will be seeking revenge after last year’s heavy 7-3 defeat to Ghantoot Polo Team.

When compared to many of the world’s leading polo teams, which possess a long and rich history, Ghantoot is a very young team and yet that has not stopped them gaining international honours. They have travelled the world claiming victories at tournaments in St Moritz and Sotogrande among others. At home or abroad Ghantoot carry the pride of the people of the UAE. The Ghantoot team were worthy victors of the Dubai Gold Cup in 2013.

The Cavalry & Guards Club is a gentleman’s club in Piccadilly, London. It is open to officers who had served in one of the Cavalry or Guards regiments of the British Army. The present club was formed by the merger of the Cavalry Club and the Guards’ Club in 1976. Begun by Captain Weatherall, 20th Hussars, in 1907 this prestigious club has been occupied by The British Army for over 100 years and has strong links to the ancient sport of Polo. Man has ridden camels almost as long as he has ridden horses, so it was only natural that after horse polo was developed camel polo followed. Today we welcome teams from The Cavalry & Guards regiments of The British Army who had camel units in Africa and Asia during the nineteenth century. Camel polo was pioneered at British Polo Day Dubai in 2010 and was picked up by CNN and broadcast globally. Its success has continued and it is now a staple in the UAE, and we are delighted to continue this tradition once again this year.

Polo is perhaps the oldest game in the world – having been played over 2500 years ago - and is truly international. The name polo is said to have been derived from the Tibetan word “pulu”, meaning ball.

History of the game
n 600 BC the first recorded game of polo took place between the Turkomans and Persians. The Turkomans won. Polo began as a training game for cavalry units, usually the King’s Guard or other elite troops. To the warlike tribesmen, who played it with as many as 100 to a side, it was a miniature battle. Persian literature and art give us the richest accounts of polo in antiquity. Ferdowsi, the famed poet-historian, gives a number of accounts of royal polo tournaments in his 9th century epic, Shahnameh (the Epic of Kings). In the earliest account, Ferdowsi romanticises an international match between Turanian force and the followers of Siyâvash, a legendary prince from the earliest centuries of the Empire. The game spread into North India. In fact Sultan Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim Emperor of North India, actually died accidentally in 1210 playing polo.

From Persia, in medieval times polo spread after the Muslim conquests to the Ayyubid and Mameluke dynasties of Egypt and the Levant, whose elites favoured it above all other sports. Notable sultans such as Saladin and Baybars were known to play it and encourage it in their court. Polo sticks were features on the Mameluke precursor to modern day playing cards. Polo was passed from Persia to other parts of Asia including the Indian subcontinent and China, where it was very popular during the Tang Dynasty and frequently depicted in paintings and statues. The Moguls were largely responsible for taking the game from Persia to the east and by the 16th century the Emperor Babur had established it in India. Polo was revived in Japan by the 8th Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune (1684-1751) and was played until early 20th century. It was the favourite sport of the last Shogun who surrendered power to the Emperor in 1868.

The modern game of polo, though formalised and popularised by the British, is derived from Manipur (now a state in India) when British tea planters discovered the game in Manipur (Munipoor) on the Burmese border with India and established the first polo club in the world at Silchar, west of Manipur in 1862. In 1869, Edward “Chicken” Hartopp, 10th Hussars, read an account of the game in The Field, while stationed at Aldershot, and, with brother officers, organised the first game known then as “hockey on horseback”- on a hastily-rolled Hounslow Heath against The 9th Lancers. The 1st Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards were quick to follow suit on grounds at Hounslow and in Richmond Park; and then on a small ground near Earl’s Court known as Lillie Bridge. The first polo club in England was Monmouthshire, founded by Capt. Francis “Tip” Herbert, 7th Lancers, at his brother’s seat, Clytha Park, near Abergavenny in 1872.

RUNNING TOTAL - $655,455USD USD raised to-date In countries all over the world, polo has a long history of raising significant funding for worthy causes. Wherever possible, British Polo Day is entirely committed to bringing to bear the full weight of our partners, network and creative talent to this end. In partnership with our host in each case, British Polo Day divides the fund raising proceeds from charity auctions and raffles that are held at any event between local and British charities. In so doing, the polo ties between two nations are reinforced further through shared philanthropic aims. WAHA International and Help For Heroes have been chosen as the Charity beneficiaries of British Polo Day Abu Dhabi 2014. WAHA International was established by Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan as a response to the unacceptably high maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity rates in many parts of Africa and Asia. The efforts of Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan – President of Women and Health Alliance (WAHA) International – to save mother’s lives have been given added momentum this year amongst key influencers and decision makers, after the current situation was made a central theme at the G8, G20 and African Union summits. Help For Heroes was founded in 2007 in order to provide direct, practical support to those who have suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses while serving in Britain’s Armed Forces. British Polo Day is committed to raising significant funding for these two Charities – founded to achieve life saving and life changing results – and would urge guests to bid freely and generously during the Loud Auction in aid of these formidable causes.

Help for Heroes was founded in 2007 in order to provide direct, practical support to those who have suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses while in service to our country. This is provided through grants to individuals, other Service charities, capital build projects and our four Recovery Centres across the UK which will offer support for life. It is because of the overwhelming response from the general public that Help for Heroes has been able to provide this support, but there is still so much more to do. With the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan coming ever closer, people may think that the job is done. The war may end but for our wounded, the battle will have only just begun. Soldiers, sailors and airmen who are injured today will still need our support tomorrow and in the days that follow, for the rest of their lives. They are still battling and we won't let them battle alone.
Every mother’s death is unacceptable. We must do what works! An appeal by Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan President of Women and Health Alliance (WAHA) International
NO WOMAN SHOULD DIE GIVING LIFE If there is good news, it is this: there is greater commitment than ever before to saving the lives of mothers and their newborns. However, despite renewed international advocacy efforts, there are enormous challenges ahead: the majority of countries are unlikely to achieve the 5th Millennium Development Goal of reducing maternal mortality by 75% from its 1990 level by 2015. In simple language, this corresponds to hundreds of thousands of women who are dying unnecessarily every year. In simple language, this is unacceptable. It is time for us to take an honest look at what needs to be done. We know that the vast majority of these deaths can be prevented. We have the techniques and know-how to save lives and reduce this suffering. We have done it before in Europe, America and the Middle East. We must now do it in the African and Asian countries where too many women are still dying to give life. Maternal deaths are clustered around labour, delivery, and in the days and weeks following birth. The main direct cause of death is obstetric haemorrhage – in other words, bleeding to death. The most effective way to eliminate these deaths is to ensure that women are in the presence of a skilled attendant, such as a midwife, in a suitably equipped health facility for the delivery. Trained midwives and practitioners must have the skills to provide obstetric care to manage haemorrhage as well as major infections and obstructed labour. They also need the skills to provide the medical and surgical interventions, like transfusions and Caesareans that save lives. So what do we need to do next? We need to train more midwives to assist women during the delivery of their babies and to provide emergency obstetric and newborn care. We need better-equipped health facilities to encourage women to deliver in places where skilled attendants can provide quality obstetric and newborn care. We need to remove the financial obstacles that impede women from coming to health facilities before the onset of complications by reinforcing links between communities
and healthcare providers. We need to address the social barriers to delivering in health facilities by mobilising communities and providing culturally appropriate information and education about the advantages of doing so. And we need to remove physical barriers to attending health facilities by investing in innovative referral systems that use new telecommunication and transportation strategies. We need to give women and their babies a fighting chance of surviving childbirth. And while we are rightly focusing on reducing maternal deaths, let us not forget that for every woman who dies, another twenty suffer debilitating complications following childbirth due to a lack of obstetric care. From a prolapsed uterus to chronic incontinence or obstetric fistula, childbirth complications can equate to a life of profound psychological, social and economic misery if left untreated. The World Health Organisation estimates that 2 million women currently need surgical repair for obstetric fistula, with an additional 50,000 to 100,000 new cases occurring each year. A fraction of these cases are treated each year and the backlog of cases remains virtually untouched. To deal with this, obstetricians, urologists and general surgeons must integrate fistula repair and management of other postpartum complications into general practice; and midwives and other frontline health workers must be involved in the active identification of cases for early referral and treatment. Each one of us has a role to play in stopping maternal and newborn deaths and injuries. And this is why I appeal to you today with a simple request: give women a fighting chance of surviving the delivery of their babies. Make sure that more midwives and doctors have the right skills to provide obstetric care to save the lives of mothers and their newborns. Ensure all women have access to suitably equipped health facilities. And ensure that treatment is available for the millions of women who suffer a life-time of misery from childbirth injuries. Let’s do what works!
OUR GOAL
OUR KEY AREAS OF WORK
Women and Health Alliance (WAHA) International works to support and strengthen health services in the countries where maternal health needs are greatest.
Promoting delivery with a midwife and rapid access to Caesarean sections in the event of obstructed labour. This includes training key frontline health workers, improving health infrastructure, and implementing innovative strategies to facilitate referral and treatment of obstetric emergencies;
Our goal is simple: to ensure that all women have a safe pregnancy and motherhood. We believe in the power of partnerships to get things done. That’s why at WAHA International, we work together with university teaching hospitals, national associations of midwives, obstetricians and gynaecologists, community groups and policymakers. We believe in promoting a southto-south knowledge exchange to find the most innovative and effective strategies to ensure that women have access to skilled help during and after the delivery of their baby.
Integrating fistula surgery and treatment of postpartum complications into the routine training and practice of gynaecologists, obstetricians and urologists through our partnerships with university teaching hospitals in Africa; Mobilising communities through information, education and communication to overcome the social and cultural barriers to using maternal and child health services.
WAHA International was established by Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan as a response to the unacceptably high maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity rates in many parts of Africa and Asia.
