How Do They Do That?

Hay Cutting

For the past four years Hicks Brothers of Meadow Spring Farms has been taking large bales and cutting them down to small bales with their hay cutter. Watch the video to see the process.

Cool Idea

TailBrella

Beat the sun this summer with a cool and clever tailgate umbrella, one that fits right into your car or truck's hitch. Much easier than putting up a tent wouldn't you say, and what a great Father's Day gift idea. Buy early and buy Blue for Brandywine. Available on Ebay, Amazon or TailBrella.com

Schedule Update

Dear All,

30 more days of social distancing. We got this! BPC schedule remains the same. We'll keep you posted. Take care and stay healthy.

Sincerely, Brandywine Polo Management

Player Member Highlight

Sarah Runnels & CJ Martin

Meet returning polo players Sarah Runnels and CJ Martin. Sarah, a corporate litigator with Skadden Arps, learned to play polo at Brandywine's Orientation To Polo (OTP) classes with Scott Brown ten years ago. A life-long hunter and jumper rider, after taking her first few polo lessons, Sarah was a quick convert to polo and sold her last show hunter and bought her first polo pony. Sarah and her husband, C.J., who runs a hedge fund and is also a polo player, built a farm in Connecticut and quickly accumulated a string of horses and have played for many years in Florida and up and down the East Coast. It is hard to pick just one favorite from their string of horses, which includes two homebreds and several that serve double duty as fox hunters, but Sarah's favorite horse is generally Savannah, a 12-year old Argentine mare. Sarah is thrilled to be back playing at Brandywine after many years, and is excited to get back in the saddle after missing last summer's polo season due to the birth of their first daughter. Sarah's goal for this summer is to get Taylor Hill Farm's name back on the Gerald Balding trophy, which they won in 2014 & 2015. They also won the Polo Ponies Memorial, twice! Look out Kirky, you've got competition!
