Calling all arena polo players! Here is your chance to compete in the U.S. Open Arena Polo Championship.
This historic championship represents the highest level of arena polo competition currently played in the United States. In contemporary U.S. Open Arena Polo competition, Cedar Croft Farms has garnered the prestigious title from 2013-2015. A significant feat, as only the second team in the history of the tournament to achieve three consecutive wins with the same team members. The young team consists of Florida native, 8-goaler Kris Kampsen, University of Virginia graduate, Team USPA member and 7-goaler Felipe Viana, and 3-goaler Robert Ceparano. Last year, Cedar Croft Farms defeated Equuleus 13-10. Surprisingly, since his win in 2012 with team Weill Cornell, current arena 10-goaler Tommy Biddle has managed to make it to the finals on three different teams against Cedar Croft Farms, being narrowly defeated each year. Will this be Biddle’s year to return to U.S. arena prominence, or will the young guns dominate the stage once again, winning a fourth consecutive year, making U.S. Open Arena Polo Championship history?
Interested in competing? The tournament will be held at Country Farms Polo Club in Medford, New York, July 26-30.
