102 SIDELINES APRIL 2012
FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
Catching up:
What a fun idea:
Clint Nangle is the brainchild
behind
Overbrook Polo Club
along with the Masters of
Aiken
Hounds, Why Worry Hounds
and
Whiskey Road Foxhounds
all getting together to put on the
Tallyho Cup, a unique polo event
for hunt members playing polo
on their foxhunters. No polo
experience necessary! Clint tells
us that again this year, games
will be played at a level suitable
for foxhunters (two and four-
legged). Only horses who have
hunted are eligible for the ‘Best
Playing Foxhunter’ trophy.
Fashion Icon,
Cornelia Guest
participated in the coin toss
ceremony at the
International
Polo Club Palm Beach
for the
fnal match between Audi and
Piaget in the
Ylvisaker Cup
.
“We are really excited to have
Cornelia Guest at IPC. She was
the inspiration for our fashion
spread in the 2012 edition of POLO magazine,” said
Analisa Muti
, who works in Marketing and Sponsorship
at IPC.
And a word from Eldorado:
We were wrong!! Jan
Hart, General Manager of Eldorado recently and gently
corrected us for an inaccurate report of a virus in California.
Here’s what she had to say: “I am writing with regard to
a piece written on Page 118 under ASIDES in the March
Edition. In the second paragraph, it states, and I quote,
“Apparently the virus was brought in by horses at the rodeo
grounds at Eldorado. It is airborne and most games and
activities have been cancelled.” This is not factual. One
statement was correct, one of Domingo Questal’s horses
died (actually was euthanized) from the virus. Domingo’s
A
S
I
D
E
S
horse was stabling at Empire Polo Club, where the virus
originated, not Eldorado Polo Club. Eldorado was placed under
quarantine due to our close proximity to Empire. Further, there
are no “rodeo grounds” at Eldorado Polo Club. We are strictly a
Polo Club and endeavor to ensure the sport of Polo is held to its
highest standards. While under quarantine, we strictly abided by
all recommendations from the California State Veterinarian and
no further out-breaks were experienced, therefore, the State Vet
lifted the 21 day quarantine on schedule and we are again playing
polo.
Again, we enjoy Sidelines and wish you continued success.
Regards,
Jan Hart
General Manager
Eldorado Polo Club
We regret the error.
