USPA Cowboy Cup Final..a thriller!!

Today..Sunday March 30th 2008 we had a fantastic game for the United States Polo Associations Cowboy Cup here at Vero Beach Polo.

DON'T FORGET DOUBLE CLICK AND CHOOSE SLIDESHOW TO BEST VIEW THE PICS!

Michelob Ultra were the favourites going into the game with only two losses this season..However Buckleigh Farms led by the 5 goal player Mauricio Devrient really gave Michelob a scare..Great play by Mauricio and a popular Vero player..Luis Galvan kept the game very close.


In the end the wonderful team play of Segundo Ortiz, Ignacio Saenz and Tiffany Busch prevaled.


Well done to both teams and congratulations to "Nacho" for earning MVP and having the best playing pony..


Most definately one of the most exciting games of the season.


See you next Sunday for the last weekend of Polo....

Sorry no polo today March 23

After the rain yesterday and last night and the chance of more today a late decision was made to not have polo today... wet and slippery field is very dangorous for the horses and players..

The decision has to be made early as players, grooms, horses etc have to travel and start getting ready for the game early in the morning..

we will let you know when the game is rescheduled for.

See you next week at polo - if not before!!!

Governor's Cup Final Vero Beach vs Michelob Ultra

Yet another wonderful game today..Michelob Ultra winning over Vero Beach 12-7 in the USPA Governor's Cup final.

The Busch Wlidlife Sanctuary brought out some of the animals under their care and we were treated to a great demonstration of Native American dances by the Hitchit Dance Troop.
Creek (Muskogee, Abihika, Abeika, Hitchit)

MVP for the game was Ms Tiffany Busch..a very solid player who rarely misses a shot when she is going to goal..

It was a very nice to see the 10 goal player Sebastian Merlos out at Vero Polo to support his friend Ignacio..look at the pics and you will see Ignacio with a great neck shot and a not so great problem with his mallet...!

USPA Governor's Cup Vero Beach Polo

First of all a quick Happy Birthday to Dad and Dad in law Brian Redman..71 years young and still as quick in a car as anyone....


So.. a great game today between Vero Beach and the great father and son team of George & Dolf Kahle.. and our friend of 27+ years Peter Bibeau and the Buckleigh farms team.

George and Dolf had Gaston & the great #4 player Craig Fraser on board as usual while Peter brought a new player to Vero Beach Polo, Maurico Devrient from Argentia to play along with an old favourite in Vero, Louis Galvan. A surprise today saw Kris Bowman playing at #1 for Buckleigh Farms...Perhaps she really does know what she is talking about when she gives all those lessons!

Buckleigh were very strong in the first half but some great play from Vero Beach in the 2nd half brought them the win..

George Kahle was named MVP due to some very stong plays and setting up a goal after falling of his rearing horse at a throw in..Craig was surprised when one of Georges shots..from at least 80 yards out... went whistling past him and right between the goal posts.

Next weekend should be thrilling.. Vero vs Michelob for the USPA Governor's Cup..Also it is a fundraiser for the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary..a very worthy cause to come out and support....

It was great to see everyone at POLO..
See you next weekend
