In 1922 our property was settled as a 28,000-acre timber ranch. Originally the cowboys who worked on our ranch began playing knock-around polo games in their free time. Our ranch hands rode their quarter horses with stock saddles using make-shift equipment and knowing very little about polo, the cowboys played by their own rules. Rule #1 was the first rider to fall off their horse bought beer for the team, a tradition that remains in place today. Eventually mallets, saddles and a few polo ponies were donated to the “cowboy games,” and a real polo club was born. Spanning 130 perfectly manicured acres, our world-class facilities include: 45 private equestrian estates, 7 Bermuda grass polo fields, a regulation-sized polo arena, a half-mile all-weather training track, a stick & ball field, riding trails, on-site stabling for 300 horses, a member’s clubhouse and a midfield polo pavilion. In addition to polo, our Club’s spectacular grounds and venues are home to a variety of community and social events including concerts, festivals, theater, sporting events, charity fundraisers, corporate meetings and elegant weddings. Polo is a community sport like no other. Sarasota Polo is one of the largest, most dedicated and enthusiastic polo communities in the United States.
