Making It Work
The Skidmore Polo Club is coached and run
by students and local volunteers. With such an expensive sport
as polo, we rely on donations, fundraisers, and sponsorships
to make it work. Our horses and the majority of our tack
have been donated over the years. We are incredibly grateful
for the support we receive.
We invite you to become a friend of Skidmore
Polo by making a donation or attending our games. Friends
and family are welcome at any of our games, and it’s
a great outing for kids.
If you would like to make a tax deductible
donation to the Club, please contact Dan Haro (dharo@skidmore.edu )
and we will gladly help with the arrangements. Any donation,
large or small is more than welcome. We are currently, and
always, in need of polo saddles, arena balls, brushes, mallets,
foot mallets, mallet grips, tack, blankets, helmets, riding
equipment, and polo wraps. Money donations are, of course,
always more than welcome. In addition, we are always interested in acquring new horses (a tax deductible donation) for the team .
Sponsorship
Horses and polo have an immense public appeal.
The combination of a breathtakingly fast, dangerous spot and
bold athletic horses can’t miss. We invite you to participate
in this unique marketing experience by joining us as a sponsor
in the most beautiful and exciting team sport! Please contact
Polo Public Relations for more information.Dan Haro

Megan is excited for the 08'-09' season, and being PR. She started playing polo her freshman year, and it is certainly the change of pace she wanted after more than a decade of boring hunter/jumper riding. |
