About Us

In 1953, the legendary C.D. LeBlanc started the Will Rogers Polo CLub: making us the thirteenth oldest polo club in the United States, rich in tradition and enthusiasm.. Each player has two to four horses; which require feeding, cleaning and daily exercise during the week preceeding each game. Most of the players board their horses elsewhere, which means that earlier in the day, they trailered their horses to the park for the game.

The horses are then brushed and "tacked up" in their special saddles, bridle and leg protection wraps. The players dress in their white joudpers, team shirts, boots, knee guards and riding spurs. Between chukkers (periods of play), players and grooms, frantically change horses and adjust their tack. A thousand details can go wrong (and often do)! But, at that sublime moment when the mallet touches the ball, it all seems gloriously worthwhile.
