Growing up in a horse family, Katie’s mom and sister are both hunter/jumper instructors and her dad played polo and trained polo ponies. Katie grew up showing in the A circuit, traveled with her dad for polo, and spent her summers in Toronto working for a polo family. Initially teaching basic riding lessons at age 16, Katie progressed to teaching riding and polo later in life. Today she, and her family, run a successful polo school where she teaches in Grand Rapids, MI in the summer and Wellington, FL in the winter.
What has been one of your favorite teaching memories?
“Those "ah-ha" moments when I've been working with a student and they finally grasp a concept or shot, pure joy!”

Effective Date: Saturday, May 16, 2020
The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC. We are preparing a detailed list of best practices for USPA Member Clubs as they return to hosting USPA Tournaments and Events and plan to circulate these guidelines within the next week. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
