Confessions of a Polo Addict

 (Thanks Snooty)


They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. So here it is:

Hi, my name is TJ and I'm a polo addict.

It started with a “harmless” riding lesson. Just a bit of trotting around, you know? Next thing I know, I’m galloping across a field swinging a mallet like I’m in some sort of royal action movie. The crack of the ball, the thunder of hooves, the screaming from my instructor—I was hooked.
 
 

When Polo Takes Over Your Life

Before I knew it my weekends were booked solid with chukkas. My social calendar? One word: canceled. If it doesn’t involve horses, I’m not interested.

I now own more white jeans than a yacht club. My car smells like saddle leather and ambition, and don’t even ask me about my mallet collection—it has its own room.

My family tried to intervene. “You're wearing dirty white jeans to brunch again?” they said. “You brought a pony to Christmas dinner,” they said. Pfft. Haters.

Why I Started This Store (Polo Mare Online)

That’s why I started this store—for people like us. The slightly sunburnt, grass-stained, helmet-haired dreamers who think there’s no such thing as “too much polo.” Whether you're on the field or just wish you were we’ve got gear that says, “Yes, I will absolutely cancel plans to play polo and no, I’m not sorry.”
