The Yale University Polo Club was founded in 1916 and boasts the oldest intercollegiate polo team in the United States. A powerhouse in polo for the last century, Yale has amassed more national championships than any other university. Additionally, it has been at the forefront of intercollegiate polo having both the first men’s and women’s teams. The team currently stands about thirty strong and provides polo lessons to Yale students of all levels at a private stable a short drive from campus.
The program depends on the support of alumni and friends for horses, equipment and financial donations and on students for active management of the program and care of the teams’ horses.
