It's Polo Season and we are eager to get started!  We will begin the season with a few days of easy chukkers and then move into offering chukkers 3x per week starting June 1st.  We will start out in the arena and then work in the grass field when it's ready.  We are looking forward to offering polo lessons and clinics this summer as well and are excited to announce that polo professional Tiger Kneece and his family will be at Bloomfield for July and August.  

 

TIGER KNEECE WILL JOIN US FOR JULY AND AUGUST

We are excited to announce that polo professional Tiger Kneece will be working with us at Bloomfield for July and August.  At the height of his career Tiger carried a 7-goal handicap. He has a great deal of polo experience on the field as well as in managment, coaching and lessons.  He will be sharing his expertise with us this summer and will be offering lessons and clinics at Bloomfield.  More details to come!
