Gates open at 10 a.m. and the match is slated to begin at 11 a.m., although it may start an hour earlier if there is hot weather. Spectators will be notified two days prior in that case. The polo match is a League Game, high stakes professional polo at a world class location.

The Santa Ynez Valley Therapeutic Riding Program has been sharing the healing power of horses with people with special needs for three decades. The group is a Premier Accredited Center with the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International. Therapeutic riding is particularly helpful for individuals on the autism spectrum or with cerebral palsy. The program’s motto is “Walk Trot Heal.”
The mission of the Santa Ynez Valley Therapeutic Riding Program is to provide quality equine assisted activities to children and adults with physical, cognitive, social, emotional and or other life challenges, regardless of their ability to pay.
