Polo in Lakewood Ranch is an exhilarating exhibition of teamwork and coordination between horse and rider. What other competitive team sport requires you to whack a ball, maneuvering your way through a cluster of thundering hooves, one hand gripping your reins, one hand hoisting your mallet, all while racing full-out, balancing on the back of a powerful horse? The season generally runs from mid December through late April
Gates open at 10am. Sunset Polo Happy Hour matches are open to the public every Thursday at 5:30pm beginning mid March through the end of the season. Gates open at 4:30pm. Join thousands of fans for exciting polo action, opening parade, live national anthem, theme weeks, half-time entertainment, food, drinks and divot-stomping.
