Dear fellow Pony Up Polo Boosters - Sadly, the 2025 Spring season comes to an end this weekend. It was a lot of fun with great polo! Our board is working on events for the off season and preparing for the fall season. A visit to the Peri Lee Arabian Horse Open House on June 7. A trip to the Ocala Breeder's Sale in October. A cricket match in Marion County. An evening with author and polo player Sukey Forbes in September. The Pony Up Polo Booster Tournament in October. And our Elf Party to close out the fall season. As soon as we lock down the dates, we'll let you know via email and the website. Suggestions are always welcome. Thank you for your continued support of Pony Up Polo Boosters.
The International Cup, on the last weekend of the Spring Season, resulted in a win by Fross & Fross in overtime, 12-11. Charly Quincoces was awarded the MVP and his pony was recognized as the best playing pony.
We will miss the players and ponies and look forward to seeing them on Sep 26, opening day of the Fall season.

On Wednesday, Jan 8, we toured the Ma Barker House. Our guide was Wayne (the bartender at the north end of the Grandstand), who is an absolute expert on all things Ma Barker and gangs.
The Spring Season began on Fri, Feb 28th! There were exhibition matches on Feb 21 and Feb 23. Can't wait to see all of our polo players back in their saddles and back on the field!
We had a Polo 101 & Opening party at the Oxford Polo Club on Saturday, March 15.
Saturday, May 3 - The Kentucky Derby Party and Silent Auction. Not only is this a very fun, enjoyable event, it is also our main fundraiser for the Injured Players Fund. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Spring Season ends on Sunday, May 4.
2025 Spring Opening Party & Polo 101
This year's Opening Party, on Mar 15 was a great event. The weather was pleasant, albeit windy. The Polo Academy students played four chukkers with the team wearing purple taking the win. Dale spent some time going over Polo 101 which was helpful for all of the new people. Deidre Miles and Chrissy Moyer won the Tailgating Competition and will receive a Fall season pass. Alex and Marguerita Copher took second place with Rita and Jerry Kelly taking third. The cash raffle was popular with Regina Jessop, Arthur Lewis and Emily Evans taking home their shares. Thank you to all who participated! Lewis Arther and Billy Lindsey performed as Elvis and was excellent. We all owe Lord Lyall a ton of gratitude for hosting us at the Oxford Polo Club. Thank you, Lordi!
2025 - Annual Derby Party at Seabreeze Recreation
This year’s Derby Party will take place on Saturday, May 3 at Seabreeze. We'll be working out the details over the next few months, planning new, fun activities. This is also the main fundraiser for the Injured Players Fund.
