Oklahoma City is widely known for great farm land, oil wells and cowboy culture, but many may not be as familiar with the active polo facility in Jones, Oklahoma, only 19 miles from the city known as the “Big Friendly.” Owned and operated by Great Plains Circuit Governor David Ragland and his wife Judy, OKC Polo Club serves as the go-to place for fun, family-oriented polo for players of all ages in the region. No amenity was left out when designing the club—two polo barns, an arena, two practice fields, a track and a wooden practice horse, all compliment a regulation size polo field. After practices and games, players and guests can enjoy a lovely shaded area perfect for relaxing on a hot day.
New for 2018 the OKC Polo Club will serve as host to a polo school featuring instruction from David Ragland, intercollegiate player Devan Groves and Certified Polo Instructor Robin Sanchez. Each Saturday morning session will feature clinics, chalk talk, rules review and private lessons. Sanchez combines years of experience with modern technology utilizing personal headsets and video feedback to improve students' skills. She will cover riding for polo, swing mechanics, outdoor and arena strategies, rules and horsemanship in her lessons.

All are welcome to participate. For more information, contact David Ragland 405-833-5783 or info@okcpoloclub.com. To learn more about OKC Polo Club, please visit www.okcpoloclub.com.
