Polo for 2011
Saul Benitez and Vaquero
Stirling Hill Farm was once again a proud sponsor for Polo for Heart and Polo for the Cure!!
Saul Benitez represented Stirling Hill Farm very well by playing on the winning team of the match in the Polo for Heart Tournament. His defensive skills helped his team walk away with the win! This great event helped raise over $200,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation!!
Ryan, La Matera and Julie
This year I tried to make it extra challenging on myself by playing in the Polo for the Cure tournament and competing and coaching at the Cornerstone Dressage Show. I had not practiced for the tournament and cannot try to explain the pain I was in considering my arm is not use to swinging a mallet and my body is not use to a contact sport! Poor Don Juan Tyme was wondering why I did not help him by the last day in the dressage test but I literally had no strength left and ached! At the same time I loved every minute of the weekend! I would just like to say “Thank you so much” to Saul Benitez and Ryan Watchorn for their help getting the polo ponies ready for me so I could just jump on and play!
Polo for the Cure is a great fundraiser to raise money to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. I was so happy to be apart of this weekend and hopefully I will have a chance to play again next year!
