Polo pony donations are always needed at Virginia Polo.
Our club is growing every year with students of all levels of play.
The Virginia Polo ponies are professionally managed by Abbie Grant, with daily care provided by the student players during the school semesters. Horses receive planned time off, have plenty of turnout, and excellent care from the vets at Blue Ridge Equine Clinic.
Please email jenny@vapolo.org if you’d like to discuss donating a pony to the Virginia Polo program. Thank you!
Our mission is to provide polo to students from all walks of life & make polo accessible to students who have not had the opportunity to play before.
The Boot Camp and Club Team (a large group rather than just a team really) are students we introduce to polo.
To reduce the cost of the sport with otherwise high financial barriers to entry we strive to provide as much equipment as possible for our introductory players . Equipment included in the “For the Student Players” section are items that will belong to Virginia Polo and be used by our beginner players.
If you would like to extend the opportunities to new players purchasing items on this list in the player section is a wonderful and direct way.
We welcome donations in the amount of needed items or to purchase items directly use the links below and ship to Virginia Polo, 1082 Forest Lodge Dr, Charlottesville, VA 22903.
