CAPTAIN’S LETTER

THIS SUMMER MARKS THE 132ND SEASON OF POLO ON MYOPIA'S GIBNEY FIELD—a remarkable tradition and one that we are pleased to share with you, our supporters and spectators, every Sunday from early June to late September.

This summer we have an active season of polo planned—including national tournaments such as the National Chairman’s Cup, the Forbes Cup, the Harvard Invitational and the Harriman Cup. As we do every summer, we will host tournaments named in honor of some of our most historic Myopia equestrian families such as Ayer, Little, Poor, Rice and Tuckerman.

I am pleased to report that Kim Maguire, who has supervised our operations for the past five summers, is continuing as our manager responsible for overseeing all polo activity.

Myopia Polo would not be as vibrant and successful without the efforts of our dedicated staff and volunteers. I’d like to thank our volunteer leadership which includes Nick Snow, Peter Poor and Dave Strouss; long-time Myopia polo players; tournament committee members; Denny Ryus, Terri Campbell and Cathy Taylor, who oversee all our marketing; and our treasurer, Stephen Willet.

We encourage you to follow Myopia Polo throughout the season. Updates on schedules, games and lessons are on our website, myopiapolo.org, or by calling 978-468- POLO. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. Best wishes,

Franz Colloredo-Mansfeld, captain/myopia polo
