Passions: Louis Hine

Louis Hine is the youngest of four polo playing siblings, so unsurprisingly he is one of the rising stars of English grassroots polo, with many top titles under his belt despite his youthful years. 2021 has been a stellar year for the 15-year-old Louis, starting the high goal season by winning The Prince of Wales and finishing the season lifting The Gold Cup for Thai Polo NP alongside his older brother Ned
