I have been watching some of the online polo blogs lately and have been both encouraged that so many people are participating in discussions about the future of the game and potential projects they feel are important to the future of polo.
Aside from Polonut, however, I am disappointed that not more members of the "leadership" [...]
In light of the recent criticism of the USPA, and reflecting on the Association’s meetings two weeks ago and the fact that no information on those meetings have yet been released it would be easy to wade back in to a confrontation with the mimes who are in charge of disbursing information for the USPA, [...]
I recently read a passage on the Message Board website for ThePoloPost.com that said "The essence of successful leadership is transparency and accountability." I read a post on the Message Board of The PoloZone regarding the APHA that took a dozen posts to conclude that there is a wealth of misinformation floating around the polo [...]
It’s been over a week since the USPA held its meetings in Florida. There were nearly two-dozen committees and numerous executive meetings that gathered to chart the future of the association.
Since the USPA has built such an impressive record for itself secreting information and failing to accomplish goals it has set for itself for [...]
It has been a few days since the FIP World Championships got underway. The much-heralded international organization takes credit for pressing polo’s place in future Olympics (don’t hold your breath, it isn’t going to happen) and striving to standarize the rules of polo, internationally.
Aside from staging their “Ambassador Cups” for themselves around the globe, [...]
I just received this as a comment. I felt that it souldn’t be buried beneath a week-old post so I offer it to you.

The USPA Chairman’s Cocktail Reception is scheduled for tomorrow night, Wednesday, April 16, at the Museum of Polo in Lake Worth, Florida.
Delegates will be plied with alcoholic beverages and spin in order to lull them into a false sense of well-being. The fact of the matter is that the USPA is in trouble and each and [...]
In case no one is watching, Argentina is in the process of using a slight of hand move to replace its top tier of professionals in the United States with a second or third tier of players as they continue to promote their Argentine Polo Tour.
The effort, and a good one I might add, is [...]
I continue to hear complaints about the lack of leadership within the USPA. People are asking questions as to how much money is being raised by Properties and where it is going. Rumors get started because there is no dissemination of information to the general membership and there has significant growth in either membership or membership retention.
We [...]
You know the phrase “the future of polo is in our youth” was spoken by Louise Hitchcock to a room full of overprivileged young men who would never have to work a day in their lives. It has become the rallying cry behind every youth polo movement and no one has questioned that if once these [...]
