    EVENTS: Meadow Brook Polo Club

    June 26, 2023 - By 

    Polo is known as the sport of kings and it’s easy to see why the game is so alluring to royalty, the sound of the hooves of powerfully bred horses pounding across the manicured lawns, the fine riding skills of the players as they rush and race to outmaneuver their competitors, and the expansive real estate of the nine football field lengths of just one polo field sets the stage for a heart racing show.
