Joanna,

I started with Charlie and Mary in the fall of 2000. I had absolutely NO horse
experience
at all. This is the only place you can get on and play chukkers safely from the
start. The
addiction started from day 1. Luckily, Mary took the time to teach me
horsemanship as
well as grooming skills that is neccesary later on. The clinics are fantastic,
and leagues
even better. I am now back in Hawaii, going on my 2nd full season at the Hawaii
Polo
Club. I have 2 ponies in my string( if you can call it a string), and looking
to expand soon.
I've played in up to 8 goal USPA matches, hopefully will get into our 12 goal
match. We'll
see. My foundations have been laid down here at Potomac Polo School and has
proven to
be solid. One warning..... It is extremely addictive..... try not to refinance
your house, cash
in your retirement, or bail on you kids college fund:0)

Aloha everyone!!! Hope all is well.

Val
