Wellington, Florida— The American Polo Horse Association presents the second annual National Polo Pony Show, March 29, 2011, at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The National Polo Pony Show provides the opportunity for players, breeders, trainers and owners to showcase their polo pony or prospect to the U.S. polo community and receive recognition in the polo pony black-type program. The show includes halter classes, mounted performance, junior horsemanship, and groom’s competition.
