Located in Gilroy – the “garlic capital of the world”, South Bay Polo is just minutes from South San Jose.  Close to many wineries, which is convenient after a long day at the field.

 

The Horses

The horses are a big component of polo.  They need to be trained for the high speed bumping, and contact that happens on the field.  The tails are braided to prevent getting caught up in the mallets and the mane are shaved – well – so they don’t look like a sissy.

The Action

Watching polo can almost be as exhilarating. Fans, Friends and Family are encouraged to fill the sidelines and watch the action. Picnicking and tailgating are popular activities for the crowd.

Arena Polo

Arena Polo is very popular, and is played as a interscholastic and collegians sport.  The area is much smaller than field polo, but can be very fast.

Field Polo

Field Polo is what comes in mind when people think of polo.  Often called “Hockey on Horseback” this is a high speed, high impact game.

The Field

The Polo Field at South Bay Polo.  After two years of renovation, play begins June 2012.
