Join Poolesville Seniors on September 2nd at 6:00 p.m. for Friday Night Polo at the Seneca Polo Club in Poolesville, MD. Experience this state-of-the-art Ag Reserve treasure and meet up for a friendly one-hour pre-match social gathering when the gates open at 6:00 p.m. Register and carpool with friends and neighbors. Relax with a cool drink and your own picnic on the grassy hill prior to the match. (Adult beverages permitted)
We have arranged for you to learn about this ancient game with a short “Intro to Polo” from Seneca Polo Club Social Director Holly Stein at 6:30 p.m. Get up close and personal with one of the polo ponies at halftime.
The polo match lasts 1 ½ – 2 hours and begins at 7:00 p.m. Wear appropriate shoes for walking near horses. The viewing areas are on an adjacent grassy hill, or down some stairs to the viewing stand next to the field. The bathroom is up a step in the Club House. Anyone with mobility issues is welcome but should be accompanied by an assistant. Directions will be provided with registration.
Seneca Polo Club is in Poolesville, MD, just over 30 miles outside of Washington D.C. They offer an outdoor arena program for beginners through professional polo players. This state-of-the-art arena is nationally renowned for its fantastic surface, and awesome LED lights for night games. From beginner to experienced players, teams bring horses from all over Maryland to play. Families and friends are always welcome to watch and learn.
Match times are subject to change based on weather, for instance temperatures above 90 degrees late in the day are too hot for players to haul horses to the farm. Check the posts on the Seneca Facebook page for announcements of any last-minute updates.
