Catching up:  Debra Atwell says that playing Miami Beach polo was a lot more fun than she had imagined, “My teammates were two seriously tall brunette models – Paula Chermont from Brazil and Katherine Campos.  Both could ride, play and look stunning with the greatest of ease.  It felt like we were photographed a thousand times.  It was added fun watching all the men openly drool!  We qualified but were just beat in the finals by Libby Scripps, Val Biehl and Stephanie Kraml-Suttle. The only way any of us could bring ourselves to say goodbye was by promising a rematch this summer at Saratoga!”

Cali Garcia-Velez checked in to say that Casa de Campo is hosting the FIP Championship Playoffs between the USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Canada and Dominican Republic

Wedding bells in the future for CSU Polo Alum Drew Luplow to Amanda Diehl. We haven’t heard if they’ve set a date yet.  Congratulations to them both.

Nicolai Galindo flew in to Houston to fill in for father Carlos who was sidelined in the 8 goal after suffering from sore ribs.  Carlos was back in action in a couple of weeks, but it was great having Nic around!

Aiken’s newest hot spot on Wednesday night is Eqwine Bar & Grill at New Bridge Polo. In addition to food and drink, there’s a round robin game of Bocce Ball that’s proven to be quite popular and dare we say, competitive?

Dr. Horace Laffaye is definitely one of our favorite writers, and his latest book, POLO IN AMERICA – A HISTORY, is one that belongs on every polo player’s bookshelf.  Check with Horace or the Museum of Polo & Hall of Fame to learn how to get your own copy.

Club news:  Aiken Polo Club had a fun day on May 21 with junior and all pro polo exhibitions for a total of 7 chukkers, with barbecue and drinks served all through games. All proceeds benefited the Aiken Junior Polo program.

We heard via the grapevine that the city of Dallas has taken back the park where Las Colinas Polo Club was based.

Dallas certainly won’t be polo-less:  Prestonwood Polo Club is going strong or so we hear, with approximately 100 acres, two polo fields, and another going in soon, a regulation size arena and a practice arena.

At 78 years young, Barry Olliff doesn’t intend t At 78 years young, Barry Olliff doesn’t intend to take it easy during his golden years. Inspired by his horse-loving wife, Cyndy, Barry is devoting his retirement to create “A Gathering Place” for anyone who needs one at their Stable View Equestrian facility in Aiken, South Carolina.

Barry and Cyndy have transformed their parcel of land, originally a quail-hunting lodge, into a facility that welcomes equestrians, corporate retreats, weddings, ecotourists and local community members. “This all came about through a fortuitous set of circumstances, with good partnerships, an open and welcoming community and, most of all, our willingness to go where the land led us,” Barry said.

Barry believes fate and good luck have played a big factor in Cyndy’s and his life. “We’ve been in the right place at the right time and fortunate enough to take the right fork in the road when there were choices,” he said. “As we’ve gotten older, we’ve felt it’s up to us to give back. We need to provide opportunities for people to use Stable View however they see fit.”

There’s no denying the intrinsic value of the Ke There’s no denying the intrinsic value of the Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington, Kentucky, in the 
world of equestrian sports. For so many event riders, this venue is an iconic destination that they 
dream about competing at, and I strongly believe it’s the perfect venue to host the American 
Eventing Championships (AECs). While I’m slightly biased because it’s my home event, I really 
believe that this is the best location for the AECs to be held each year.

Unbridled with Joe Norick! 🐎 Joe Norick stays Unbridled with Joe Norick! 🐎

Joe Norick stays busy with not one but two full-time jobs with companies that span the nation. The first is as a senior vice president for equine, farm and ranch clients with Alliant in West Palm Beach; the second, which he took on in October of 2022, is as the chief customer officer for HITS Shows. But Joe doesn’t care about titles. “I more consider myself the architect of what we’re creating here in the new HITS,” he said.

Along with CEO Peter Englehart, Joe oversees all HITS Shows across the country—which is why he says lately it feels as though his home base has been American Airlines, traveling to each of the six unique HITS venues. “I love the fact that in Ocala we have so many beautiful paddocks, and over 500 acres that you can ride on and the horse can be a horse, and a horseman can be a horseman,” Joe said. “I love the beauty and charm that we have at our Chicago facility. I love the family aspect of Vermont. I love the high level of competition we have at both Del Mar and Saugerties, which we now call HITS Hudson Valley because of the amazing Hudson Valley. I love the tradition that we have in Virginia at our Culpepper facility. They all have something special.”
