Hi Hugh,
I very much welcome your initiative, as well as the comments posted by Charlie Muldoon. There is a great necessity for this. As ironic as it may seem, I recently created a polo school for children here in Canada and there has been much ent…

Hi Helen;
I can recommend Logi Polo House, we represent them in North America, Marcelo Lopez is highly recommended, I have worked with him since 1981 shortly after they were established (1978).

THE SPORT OF POLO
"As a sport, polo is hard, highly competitive, and full of risk. Beyond the game's obvious glamour and beauty is a hidden world of endless toil and effort. For these reasons, and for the tenacity, the character, and the cool mind it demands, I cannot conceive polo as anything but a sport of gentlemen, and in the modern world, ladies. The game additionally requires a noble sporting spirit, a sense of camaraderie, and - one need hardly say so - a great love of horses".

If you do come to Tulsa, I will see to it that you are well mounted. I'm sure that Joey and Joe will do the same, but you are welcome at my place anytime.
I wish that I had known you a year or two ago. I have reduced our playing string from 40+ to only the best that I play personally. I sold a bunch of horses that were safe for beginners to relatively new players in Missourri and Texas. I do know of two very nice, safe horses that used to be in my string that were for sale this winter. I can make a call or two and see if they are still available. I cant vouch for them since I have not had them in my care, and have not played them recently, but they were very nice horses when I sold them.
If they are still available, I would think that they will fetch 6 to 8 thousand, even in these hard times. Is that within your club-horse budget?

I don't think I know Jennifer Mack, I saw her on here and requested her to be a friend. I do know Santi. A very nice guy Santi! You used to live in Argentina? Do you visit there at all? I will check the message you sent me, good luck with the facility you are starting! Is there much polo where you are?
I started a group on this site for the polo club I manage...to let people know what we are doing and become a part of the global polo community...I'll be doing a blog during the season...join if you would like!
