Welcome
Season start on hold - All matches are open to the public - We hope to see you at the polo field!
To all of our many Wonderful Fans and Sponsors:
The Milwaukee Polo Club is very sad to have to report that there will not be a season this year. All of the original shareholders from over 25 plus years ago are no longer playing polo and there are not enough remaining players to sustain continued operations. Consequently, the polo grounds have been sold to the Milwaukee Ultimate Club for their use playing Ultimate Frisbee. We understand that an arrangement with the Ultimate Club and the remaining polo players may be worked out for use of the grounds for scrimmaging and playing of some games.
It is hard to put into words how much we have all appreciated our great Fans, Sponsors and our announcer, Danny Dance. Your support allowed us to bring in great polo teams from Madison, Chicago, Duluth, Minneapolis, Rockford, Des Moines, Saint Louis, Toronto, and Grand Rapids for 30 years We all shared many beautiful days, cookouts, great games, and of course a few rainouts. Our children and in some cases grandchildren grew up on the sidelines.
It has been a way of life for most of us for the greater part of our lives and our families lives and we will all miss it terribly.
It has been a GREAT RUN and we THANK YOU ALL.
THE OFF-SEASON
-
Our horses are completely off during the off-season.
-
From September through March their only responsibility is to eat and sleep
-
Each winter Jim brings most of his horses to his farm in Aiken, South Carolina. Winters in Wisconsin are so tough on outdoor animals that this allows them to have a more enjoyable off-season
-
The horses that he leaves in Wisconsin are young (or "green" horses) that he needs to ride and train throughout the offseason
