The program needed an adequate number of polo ponies for the team and the visiting teams to meet the split spring requirements of I/I games. A combination of horses from the Team’s family’s strings and the horses in the club’s arena polo program stepped forward to add interscholastic polo to their careers. Riding an array of horses is one of the opportunities of the I/I program and according to Owen Halliday he, “likes the experience of riding different horses and it is making me a better rider.” These factors aligned with the immeasurable value of a good coach made the long-anticipated youth program
come to life. The passion which Coach Hesham ElGharby, also the Manager of the Club, has for teaching and coaching polo inspires each individual member to work to- gether as a team. When asked how he likes teaching high school players, Hesham explains that he has “always loved teaching and likes any new teaching challenge”. The new Tinicum Park Polo Club I/I Team has begun a fun season of practice and games. They look forward to meet- ing and playing other teams and seeing and playing the members of teams whom they have already gotten to know in the games they have under their belt. n
