Sponsor a Polo Pony!

About Our Horse Sponsorship Program

As the old adage goes, the horse is 80% of the game when it comes to polo. Our string is made up of donated and leased polo ponies. Each of them are incredibly special and have retired from polo elsewhere for a variety of reasons. Our lesson program provides a soft landing for these treasured polo ponies. We are committed to providing them a high quality of care as they teach the next generation the game of polo. 

 

Our horses not only help our new players along as they learn the sport of polo, but they help create confident and capable horsemen in and out of the saddle. Our members and students are involved in all aspects of polo grooming–from tacking up to keeping our horses sound and healthy. Not only is this an opportunity for our students, but our horses benefit from all of the extra love (and treats) they receive. 

 

 

We rely on student lesson fees and support from generous donors like you to keep Aggie Polo alive. Our ponies are the cornerstone of our program, and each polo pony costs the club an average of $4500 per year to feed and care for. The average annual cost breakdown per horse goes something like this: $3000 for feed and board, $1000 for shoes, and $500 for veterinary and preventative care. 

 

We offer many different options for horse sponsorship, whether you'd like to donate as an individual or as part of a business. Donors will receive a special thank you gift for their sponsorship!

 

Got extra polo gear or equine care supplies in need of a new home? We accept tack and supplies as well! 

 

As a 501(3)(c) organization your donation may be eligible for tax benefits.
