On Saturday, July 28, the USPA will field a team consisting of Julio Arellano (8), Jeff Hall (7), Nic Roldan (8), and Costi Caset (5) to compete for the historic Westchester Cup at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club in Windsor, Berkshire, England. Carlucho Arellano (5) will serve as the alternate and coach. The USA currently holds the record for the most tournament wins (10-7), but has not hoisted the cup high since 1992, when Rob Walton, Owen Rinehart, Adam Snow and John Gobin captured the win in a thrilling double overtime victory. Team USA will be hosted at the Cowdray Estate in Midhurst West Sussex where pregame practices will also be held. An invitation has been extended to the HPA to play the Westchester Cup on U.S. soil in 2019.
The American International Polo Foundation (AIPF) is campaigning to raise additional funds so that our team can procure the very best horses available. As many polo players know, great horses help to win games, especially when playing internationally!
