Dear A Quechua Family & Friends,

The countdown is on for the 2nd A Quechua Ice Polo Trophy taking place from March 8th - 11th at Turrach Heights (1.763 meters above sea level). This event is one of the very few Polo tournaments played on a frozen lake. In 2011 this event was realized for the first time. Dr. Uwe Seebacher (USP International, A Quechua) - international marketier, publisher and consultant - together with Christoph Brandstätter from the ****S-Hotel Jägerwirt at Turrach Heights and Fritz Gambs from the Turrach mountain railway were the initiator of this Winter Polo Event in the Austrian Alps.

Already the premiere event reached by far more people and a higher marketing value than most other polo events.

This year 4 international teams will play for the exclusive crystal trophys and the many different prizes. Christoph Brandstätter: "It will be tough to top last year´s event - but many new things, activities and other highlights will make this weekend again an unforgettable one!"

This year´s highlights are

  • the Mitsubishi A Quechua Shuttle Service,
  • the Mitsubishi Road Experience,
  • the FlyMed Heli Scenery Flights,
  • the Hot-Tubs´ Nights and
  • a World Premiere - the FISCHER SKI POLO Cup.


Ski Polo is a new Winter Fun Sport presented by A Quechua and Fischer Sports. Everybody can participate. Teams of 2 players play against each other on Skis of 140cm lengths with Walking Sticks in their right and one ski pole in their left hand. Time per Chukker 4 minutes with 1 minute breaks. 4 Chukker per game and a field of approx. 10 x 30 meters. Goal size is 2,5 meters. Only bring your ski boots with you and be among the first ever to play Ski Polo!

A Quechua will provide daily online news updates on Facebook, Twitter, Polocontacts Worldwide (PWC).  The official press conference will be held on thursday, March 8th, 10.00am (GMT+1). Accreditation can be done through info@aquechua.com, as well as accreditation for the press conference live stream.

Last year the Turrach Heights resort was fully booked. Further informations can be found on http://www.aquechua-cup.com/28.html and by mailing to info@aquechua.com. Bookings can de done directly through www.turracherhoehe.at or by phone at 011.43.4275.83.92. Heli Shuttle can be booked from Klagenfurt Airport.

A Quechua!

World Premiere in Austria in 2012
7 Tournaments, 140.000+ Visitors and 6 Int. Teams

 

Never ever 7 tournaments were played as one series in the world. This world premiere becomes reality in 2012 in Austria. Through this, Austria completely redefines its position in international polo sport by entering into a new stage of Polo.

 

A Quechua as an Austrian organization takes a major step in further developing Polo as a trendsport. Events at Turrach Heights, Vienna, Wels, Salzburg, Wörthersee, Spielberg and the Ski World Cup City Schladming will bring over 140.000 people together to watch, see and experience Polo from a new and ever more exciting perspective.

5 of the 6 teams slots are already taken by highly recognized Poloclubs such as  Landsberg Ammersee (GER) with Team Captain MJ Ferch and her husband, Poloclub Hohenzollern (GER) with Team Captain Bernd Hotz or Poloclub Zurich (CH) with Team Captain Michaela Oertli. Austria will be represented by A Quechua Austria headed by Team Captain Uwe Seebacher supported by further 5 Austrian Players.  We invite all interested players and Polo fans from Switzerland to contact Michaela Oertli (Head of Swiss Team) for joining in and playing this globally leading-edge event series.

Hola Swiss Polo Community!

As no Swiss team joined us for the 1. Int. A Quechua Ice Polo Trophy in Austria (http://www.aquechua-cup.com/6.html), now it gets time, that Switzerland is represented at the next big highlight in Austrian Polo: the 1. International Beach Polo Grand Prix in Austria taking place from 29th - 31st July at beautiful Wörthersee in Carinthia. Enjoy some days of vacation hosted by A Quechua Family & Friends Polo.

We play two tournaments at that weekend - A Quechua Cup and A Quechua Power Cup - which means that players from HC -2 up to HC +2 are allowed to play. We also can help out with ponies and team mates.

The 1986-1987 Cartier Polo Retrospective

The 1986-1987 exhibit “POLO IN AMERICA, A Retrospective Exhibition of Polo in the United States,” Organized and Sponsored by Cartier, Inc., in Palm Beach, brought together an unprecedented collection of historically important polo art and memorabilia. This exhibit was considered to be of such international importance that it was re-created for one month as a "polo museum" on the second floor of Cartier's historic Fifth Avenue building in June 1987.

Jeanne Chisholm endeavored exhaustively to get the vast majority of the objects lent to these exhibits donated to the permanent collection of the proposed National Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame in Lake Worth, Florida. Yet while they are still housed by the museum, most of them are not currently on display. It is our hope that soon they will be on view once again after proper cataloguing and archiving.

In its continued effort to serve the polo community, the Chisholm Gallery has posted a link to the original website cataloguing this important event, and will maintain this archive in conjunction with the Chisholm Gallery website. The link below will take you to a complete archive of the exhibit, photos and newspaper clippings. Enjoy!

My gallery has specialized in POLO ART , SCULPTURES, & VINTAGE POLO PHOTOGRAPHS since 1978 formerly based at Palm Beach Polo & Country Club. I would be very happy to send email images of exciting new and unusual polo awards and gifts for your future projects, films and other considerations.

Happy New Year
Jeanne Chisholm
