(USPAGL), the official licensing arm and broadcaster of the United States Polo Association (USPA) is proud to partner with the Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council (TDC) in sponsoring a new television and digital show “The Polo Life,” a 30-minute experience that takes viewers inside the sport and lifestyle surrounding the world of polo.
“The Polo Life” will reach over 60 million households across a national audience and debut Labor Day weekend on the TVG Network, which focuses on equestrian sports. In addition to the national broadcast, the show will air on ThePalmBeaches.tv and be available in Palm Beach County hotels and resorts, as well as on content provider Roku.

Set against the backdrop of Palm Beach County, “The Polo Life” takes the viewer through a sneak-peek into the world of polo and offers content for both polo enthusiasts and novices alike. Viewers will meet professional polo player and U.S. Polo Assn. brand ambassador, Juan Bollini Jr., take a tour of the multi-million-dollar Santa Rita Polo Farm, and experience an inspirational story about how the sport of polo supports disabled children though Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center. The piece also showcases the amazing food, fashion and lifestyle surrounding the sport, and takes viewers behind the scenes of West Palm Beach-based brand, U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the USPA. Viewers will get an inside look at the sports-inspired brand’s global headquarters and authentic connection to the sport of polo.
