In short
Every winter the lake below St. Moritz freezes hard enough to carry horses. The Snow Polo World Cup is played there in January, and has been since 1985. White Turf runs flat races, trotting and skikjöring, where a rider on skis is pulled by a galloping horse, on 3 Sundays in February, as it has since 1907. The Cresta Run, the ice track of the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club, dates from 1885.
In August the Gstaad Polo Club plays above Gstaad. In winter the game moves to Wellington, near Palm Beach, for the season of the International Polo Club Palm Beach. The year ends in Buenos Aires: the Argentine Open, played at Palermo since 1893, is the most important tournament in the sport, and Buenos Aires is on the board.
Royal Ascot, founded by Queen Anne in 1711, fills a week in June west of London. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is run at ParisLongchamp on the first Sunday of October, near Paris. The Dubai World Cup is run at Meydan, Dubai, in March.
