The United States Polo Association (USPA) is working with the United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC) in a cross-promotional effort to attract young riders to both organizations. The USPA is working with its member clubs and other polo entities to offer polo to the USPC Regions in the form of educational clinics.
The U.S. Pony Club has experienced resounding success in teaching riding, safety, and horsemanship skills – all important building blocks for learning to play polo. “This joint venture between the USPA and USPC is the next natural step towards growing the popularity of polo in the US,” said USPA Executive Director Peter Rizzo. “By working together with the USPC we are able to reach experienced young riders who want to develop their horsemanship skills and be a part of the thrilling sport of polo.”
