Polo in the Park
There is nothing like a Sunday afternoon of Polo in the Park. As an avid equestrian and former novice polo player myself, I have enjoyed this season for many years.
Mercedes-Benz sponsored today’s event and flanked one of the fields with their vintage cars. I even found one made in the same year I was~and like any early 1970s model, is still in its prime ;).
Of course, the half-time brings the ever-popular & traditional stomping of the divots, but not the steaming ones! Some very clever little boys turned the goal posts at one end of the field into their personal soccer match while the rest of us stomped the rest of the field.
Only one more weekend of polo is left, then the only polo ponies I will see for a while will be at the Ralph Lauren store.
