The event announced a month-long virtual celebration of the horse in September, free and open to anyone. Sign up today to receive a newsletter and a weekly schedule of events and exclusive deals from exhibitors.
Virtual sessions begin Tuesday, September 1 and include a variety of webinars with equine industry notables, expert horsemen and women and an array of exhibitors and presenters, including the Retired Racehorse Project, full of innovations and products to advance the care, performance and celebration of horses of all breeds and pedigrees. Sessions include live interviews, panel discussions, expert seminars and educational content ranging from equine nutrition to yoga on horseback, as well as behind the scenes with notables like Sydney Collier, Mikhail Proctor and Jamilah Simms.
In addition, select Saturdays in September will feature special Kid’s Edition content. Plans are also in the works for barn tours in collaboration with Horse Country, Inc. sessions on training the performing arts horse, equine photography sessions and Q&A with equine legal experts, among other topics.

The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC.

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
