Rhode Island’s Polo Legacy Lives | Providence News
Description
Rhode Island’s polo legacy lives on—where America’s first polo club debuted in 1876, Newport became the Gilded Age’s premier polo hotspot, hosting international showdowns like the Westchester Cup. Though paused by war and depression, the tradition revived at Glen Farm in Portsmouth, restored in 1990 by Dan Keating. Today, the Newport International Polo Series draws global teams to compete against USA/Newport, preserving the sport’s historic horse-and-ride spirit while celebrating international camaraderie every summer.
