Polo America and long time polo supporter Ford Trucks joined forces to create the world's first hot air balloon featuring polo players. The Ford Trucks Polo balloon is seven stories tall and features four 35' polo players. The balloon was created to build awareness for the sport of polo. The Ford Trucks Polo balloon was unveiled at the Ford Trucks Red, White & Blue Polo and Balloon Festival at the Eldorado Polo Club on January 6, 2006. Over 34,000 attendees came out to the Festival.
The Ford Trucks Polo balloon is traveling around the United States promoting the sport of polo. In its opening year it has been featured at the Barbara Sinatra Skins Polo Game in Indio, CA, U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, Kentucky Derby Festival in Louisville, KY, 302 Polo in Aiken, South Carolina and the Albuqueque International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In Albuquerque, the Ford Trucks Polo balloon was seen by over a million people. Balloon Fiesta is the largest balloon festival in the world. Over 800 hot air balloons come to this incredible event.
In November 2006 the Ford Trucks Polo balloon will be at the Las Vegas Air Show at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada.
