We love the juxtaposition of the Porsche leaving the sidelines just after the National Anthem and before the women’s tournament. Only on the west coast! Laid back and lovin’ it

Catching up:  Matthew Fonseca and Jami Chandler are the latest horse people to open a shop in Aiken.  Joining Taryn Hartnett (Equine Divine) and Jane Hottensen (Folly) on Laurens St. is Matt and Jami’s Aiken Dry Goods, a nifty shop that marries clothing, birdhouses and tack.

Sunny Hale says the Women’s Polo League has challenged the Gay Polo League to a championship match. Chip McKenney promises this will be an event to remember.

Wedding bells: Former University of San Diego Intercollegiate player Derrick Eells got married this February in his hometown of Lincoln Nebraska to longtime girlfriend Chris Campbell.

Former teammates and Michigan State University Alums both have reason to celebrate; Nicole Wozniak is engaged to Craig deVillers, and Chelsea Bickerstaff will wed Mark Dost. Congratulations and best wishes to you all.

Clint Nangle’s Overbrook Polo Club in Wagener, SC recently returned the invitation of Aiken’s foxhunting fraternity. Earlier this season, The Aiken Hounds hosted polo players for an exciting drag hunt through Hitchcock Woods (polo helmets and jerseys welcome.) In March, members of Aiken Hounds, Why Worry Hounds and Whiskey Road Foxhounds headed down to Clint’s for a round robin polo game.  Needless to say, a great time was had by all, especially considering there were quite a few members of all the clubs who actually play polo.

The 10th annual Polo on the Lawn at Prestonwood Polo in Dallas benefits Family Gateway and is a family fun filled day of excitement. Everyone is encouraged to dress up for the Kentucky Derby Day theme with contest prizes going to Best Dressed couple, man, woman, child, pet, best hat, picnic and tailgate. VIP sponsors will enjoy dinner by Applebee’s, Wild Turkey Mint Juleps, Skyy Dragonfruit  “polo-tinis”, and exclusive gift bags in a private seating area. Tailgate cabanas are available for private fieldside parties, grandstand seating is first come, or picnic on the lawn. Bounce house for kids, silent auction, live music, Kentucky Derby simulcast and USPA Henry S. Miller Cup polo match. Miss Texas Ashley Melnick will sing the national anthem and throw out the game ball! All attendees over 21 enjoy a traditional champagne divot stomp and take home a commemorative champagne flute and t-shirt.

The Houston Polo Club Show Team of Margaret Mentz,  Sydney Shultz, and Juliet Winstone all competed in their first show at The Greater Southwest Equestrian Center on March 12th like seasoned show kids. Trainer Merrily Quincoces says a fantastic time was had by all, and all three girls came home eager to further improve their riding skills.

Bumps and bruises: Rebecca Barrons who along with husband David is a member of Oak Grove Polo Club, broke her leg in the hunt field, right before polo season! Doctor said it was a clean break and she should be back in the saddle soon.

Martin Zegers of Pony Express was knocked out after a collision with Facundo Obregon (who was already filling in for injured Carlucho Arellano) in IPC’s 16 goal. After a trip to the hospital to be checked out, he returned to playing after a few days rest with no problems.  Nic Roldan is out for the remainder of the season with a separated shoulder.  Oh, ouch!

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.” Get to know Joe in this month's edition of Sidelines Magazine! and never miss an unbridled by subscribing for just $14.95 A YEAR! Link in bio! 📸Photo by ESI
Growing up, Zayna Rizvi put fashion ahead of funct Growing up, Zayna Rizvi put fashion ahead of function when it came to her riding attire. “I would only ride my first pony, Buttons, in a princess outfit. I refused to wear regular riding clothes and only wanted to ride in my tutu,” she said. The 2021 Maclay Finals winner has since shed her tutu and these days can be found sporting breeches and boots as she tackles the jumper ring in the High Juniors, U25 series, the FEI classes in the two-star and three-star divisions and occasionally makes her way back into some equitation classes. Immersed in the equestrian life from the start, Zayna can be found, if she isn’t doing schoolwork, in the barn trying to refine her riding as she aims to move up the ranks in international competitions. To read more about Zayna head on over to our website. Link in bio! 📸Portraits by Melissa Fuller
