The Viscount Cowdray said:
“I feel sure my great grandfather [Sir Weetman Dickinson Pearson] would be surprised not only by the reputation of the American British Cowdray hospital but also that the sport which his son started in a very small way at his estate in England, has seen the Cowdray name become synonymous with the sport of polo. I am delighted to endorse the efforts of British Polo Day.”
