Awarded
Yankee Magazine's "Editor's Pick" for Best Reason to
Visit New England,
and named Rhode Island Monthly Magazine's
"Reader's Choice" as Best Evening With the Kids,
the Polo Series offers enjoyment on many levels!
The matches
are open to the public, and take place on the polo grounds of historic Glen
Farm in Portsmouth, a bucolic village on the outskirts
of Newport ~ America's famed seaside resort where polo first took root in
America!. Glen Farm was once an seven-hundred acre manorial farm
reputed for breeding prized
livestock
in its glory days during
 the late nineteenth century. Today,
it remains a landmark of excellence with the
last one hundred acres preserved in the polo fields surrounding
the barn complex, and outlined by miles of fieldstone walls. 
Giant Linden trees planted in the 1890's line its allée drive ~
'Linden Lane' ~ offering a rare living canopy entrance. Its classical stone
barns from the Gilded Age and its park-like grounds were
rehabilitated by the Polo Series' founder and thrive today as a
vital equestrian and recreational community property, and the jewel
of Portsmouth. Read
about Glen Farm's fascinating colonial
history dating back to
the 1600's!
