Founded in 1975, Texas Polo Incorporated, has a history of delivering polo equipment of uncompromising quality to its customers worldwide. As a retailer and manufacturer of outstanding polo equipment, apparel, accessories, leather goods and gifts, Texas Polo Incorporated, has taken the initiative to launch texaspolo.com . . . a continuing one-stop online shopping experience for all polo enthusiasts. From Humble Beginnings Located in the Brewery building in the heart of downtown Dallas, Texas Polo Incorporated, was conceived in Brownwood, Texas where Vincent Meyer perfected the plastic polo ball. Using technology he developed to make the first rustproof fertilizer spreader, Meyer duplicated the sound, feel and touch of a good willow wood polo ball with exact tolerances and precision. Today the Texas Polo ® ball is sold to polo clubs around the world. Not long after his introduction of the Texas Polo ® plastic polo ball, Meyer came upon a friend who had a woolen mill and excess manufacturing capacity. Believing in a proven principal that goes back several hundred years and adopted by the US Cavalry, American Indians and the Spanish Conquistadors, Meyer convinced his friend to reproduce an old double woven, 100% wool saddle blanket. Texas Polo ® saddle blankets, monogrammed in their owner's team colors became an overnight success and have covered the backs of winning polo ponies ever since. Meeting Challenges With High Technology When Meyer's old Sandown leg wraps wore out, he met the challenge and hired a textile engineer from North Carolina to design the world's only knitting machine for manufacturing polo wraps in a combination of cotton and wool - natural, breathable fibers that provide the best balance between support and protection for the horse. In six color choices, innovative leg wraps advanced Texas Polo's non-compromising manufacturing capabilities. Polo jerseys came next. "When I saw Steve Gose make a year-round commitment to support a high-goal team of Joe Barry, Corky Linfoot and Memo Gracida (players with the finest of polo ponies, tack, strategy, resources, and the full use of Retama Polo Club in Texas), go onto the field in tee shirts, I was surprised," recollects Meyer. "It wasn't long before we convinced the players that our jerseys would match their ponies in turn-out". Texas Polo jerseys can be seen on the backs of players in America, England, Argentina, Australia, Pakistan, Europe, and places in between.
