Playing in Singapore

Finally stopped raining and we have started to play. We hosted the Aussie Rules football at the weekend which was a great event but churned up the field pretty well.

Singapore just has one field, which is I understand the most played on field in the world - whether this is because it has been in place for so long, or gets played on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for pretty much 50 weeks a year - I don't know.

Anyway it's a lovely club.

Horses arrived but still raining

Finally horses have arrived in Singapore, this is an arduous task entailing;

Vets UK side
Transport to Singapore - not the most popular route!
Quarantine in Singapore via the Turf Club
Import Duties
Stable in the polo club (limited)

Now they are here and fit it has rained constantly for 2 weeks so no polo!

Anyway hope to get playing soon and instigate the first Meyado tournament of '08 in Singapore

3 months since Polo Initiation - wow! I am loving it!

It's been 3 months since i started playing polo from scratch..

Social Club----vicarious Polo Player

Since my back is a bit crooked...I cannot ride...as a child in Lake Oswego Oregon I groomed, and grew up, I think in my mind, being a polo player...I am a member of the Hawaii Polo Club, and travel and been invited to Ham Polo, and Sotogrande, to name a few. I find the Polo crowd to be mostly warm, fun and open. My only wish...is that I could really ride...and be amongst you.

More about my polo past

I started playing polo with the University of Louisville Polo club, in Louisville, Kentucky. I'd been on and around horses before, but I learned to ride and play at the same time. I loved the intricacies of arena polo. I held several officer positions for the club, helping it to establish itself. Starting a Polo Club at a University from scratch is a huge challenge.



I ended up moving to Peoria Illinois and working for the Peoria Polo Club thanks to contacts polo has given me. I'm… Continue

First goal and First fall - Totally Addicted!!

I just got back from my usual 3 chukkers on Wednesday's at the Woodside Horse Park ... Today was a lot of Fun... I started the first chukker with my stirrups 2 holes higher than usual.. and some how it made such a big difference for me today .. it was amazing.. I think i had my stirrups too low so far, often during the plays i was losing them.. Today i didn't get that feeling at all... I got the cue on going up two holes on the stirrup leather after reading a blog entry by Tom Goodspeed on polo… Continue
