We've had a very exciting week of polo so far and it's only
Wednesday! Mary returned from her out of town travel and led a
superb Potomac Polo School class on Red Eagle Field No 1 on Sunday
followed by an exciting coaching league match on Potomac Polo Field
No 1. Last night the coaching league members had a blast with a
four on four scrimmage against the Red Eagle staff plus Darrell.
Tonight the coaching league members will stick and ball with the
staff. As Pete Bostwick (legendary 8-goal player) would say, you
should stick and ball three times more than you play if you really
want to improve your skills.
We'd like to welcome our most recent new members of the Potomac Polo
Club coaching league, Darrell and Melinda. The coaching league is a
fun and enthusiastic group that provides the correct environment to
enable the participants to measurably improve their skills.
I'll be shooting photos of everyone (school and club) in the coming
days (unless I already have a high res photo) so that we can update
the websites and have material for the next newsletter.
All students should remember to call the hotline to sign up for
Potomac Polo School lessons as well as coaching league practices
(members only please). We want everyone to play, but classes are
almost always full and we cannot accomodate people who show up
without appointments. Thanks.
BARN TIP:
After you ride: return your saddle to the tack room, return your
blankets to the rack and your horse's polo boots to the appropriate
basket (remember, do not roll up the velcro closures around the
boots, place them loosely in the basket). Please take care to keep
the barn in the same order as you find it on your arrival, which is
always very nice!
