Skidmore College Polo Club

We are happy to see an increased interest in the Polo club this year from both the students and the administration. Our club has record number of new JVs and a huge group of returning Varsity. The future is looking bright too. With the addition of our new website, I have received a ton of emails over the summer and this school year from high school students interested in playing polo for Skidmore. The Admissions department has also taken a renewed interest in our club and our contribution to Skidmore, requesting information about the club that they can give to prospective students and polo players.

Our growing numbers are just as exciting as the move to our new and improved facilities. We have relocated to Win-A-Maker Farms in Gansvoort, NY. With the help of a massive barn cleaning and equipment inventory, we found that we both have and are in need of a number of things. The Club would like to, first and foremost, thank those alums and friends of Skidmore Polo who have already donated much needed equipment and gear.

If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to the Club, please contact me or our treasurer and we would gladly help with the arrangements. Any donation, large or small is more than welcome. We are currently, and always, in need of polo arena balls, brushes, mallets, foot mallets, mallet grips, tack (especially head stalls), blankets, helmets, riding equipment, and polo wraps. Money donations are, of course, always more than welcome.

Skidmore Polo Club is looking at a great 2007- 2008 year, with a strong team, in a great facility, and a few new ponies. With so many Alums and people supporting the club, we can be sure it will be able to continue for years to come. Thank you all for your infallible support!

Sincerely,
