I am happiest when surrounded by my children and horses, and Battlefield Park Polo is my effort to live doing something I love. I discovered polo a few years ago in Newport, Rhode Island when we were on assignment there with the Army.

I started taking lessons in earnest riding 5 days a week, and discovered I loved being in the saddle and working in lesson programs. It was the laughter and joy of all those who were learning to ride and play polo, the children, dogs, and horses - it was a good place for me. A year later under the guidance of the Newport Polo Club, I started a lesson program and it was a great adventure. Out of that lesson program came dozens of new polo enthusiasts and several new club players as well as two Interscholastic/Intercollegiate teams: Newport Youth Polo and Brown University Polo.

I am truly blessed; I get to wake up every day and do something I love, and can now share this with anyone who wants to learn to ride a horse, or experience the utter exhilaration that is polo.
