If you are headed to the Gold Coast for the high-goal polo season we might just know of some fabulous housing for your stay. We have had a few calls from homeowners willing to rent their homes for the season and we even know of some stabling if needed. One house is a Country-style home with 4 bedrooms, fantastic views and it is just moments away from the club. It also has nice turnout area with grass. There is also a 6 bedroom house with pool, game room, entertainment center and lots of room that is located within a 1/2 mile of the Santa Barbara Polo Club. There is another one in Montecito, which is also a top of the line pad, so give us a call. I can put you in contact with the owners.
If you are not coming to Santa Barbara head to another seaside city with bigger lights called San Diego. They play by the sea as well. At San Diego Polo Club they have a lot of fun parties and there are a lot of fun things to do in the city such Sea World, Wild Animal Park, SD Zoo, Horse Racing, Sailing and even sky diving or just plain old scuba diving … for information about SDPC call Heather 858 481 9217.
If you are looking for a paradise to go to, it is in the heart of the Rockies. There is no beach there, but you will find the blue sky and the magnificent Rockies. You will think that you are much closer to Heaven when you are there and it is called the Calgary Polo Club. They play from July to Sept. It is hard to find a more spectacular place on Earth. For more information talk to Kyle at 403 998 7260.
It might be time for a polo tour head West to spring Polo in Texas then out to the early summer in California and then on to the Rockies for the high summer.
In polo today, around the USA it is some Canadians named Mannix headed to the Semis of the US Gold Cupin Palm Beach, FL. Young Julian and his bro Fred are making Papa proud, but they might need his help as they meet King George and Adolfo Cambiaso in the semis. On the other side it is all South America as Venezuela takes on Colombia and yes it is polo not football. This all happens Thursday and the finals are on Sunday.
Out West it was Big Ben and Mansour taking Cotterell Farm and the Colorado Cowgirl in the finals last Sunday as they all gear-up for a Friday which is the start of the Skins Tournament.
See ya.
