Welcome Letter

Welcome

On behalf of New Bridge Polo & Country Club, I’d like to welcome you to the 2015-2016 polo season and the third edition of our magazine. Our fields are in superb condition and we are looking forward to bringing you top-notch polo tournaments.

I think you will agree that this magazine reflects the character of our community. Our focus is polo, but New Bridge means much more to the residents that live here. It’s about the scenic countryside, the good friends and neighbors and the ability to live in a special place where we can enjoy our horses, no matter what discipline.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, advertisers, members and guests for their continued support and loyalty. We look forward to building on what we’ve already accomplished to make New Bridge even better than it is today.

Aiken is a town whose equestrian past was founded more than a century ago on the perennial influx of the wealthy “Winter Colonists” from the Northeast and their pastimes of racing, carriage driving, steeplechasing, hunting, and polo for men and women. Polo has played a special part of the rich history here. More than a dozen members of the national Polo Hall of Fame are from Aiken. Today, competitors and enthusiasts travel from all over the world to play here. Many amateur and professional players have chosen to make Aiken their home.

Join us for polo and bring your friends and family. Games are open to the public. Updated tournament information and field locations can be found on our website (www. newbridgepolo.com) or call our information line at (803) 644-7706.

See you on the field! Russ McCall
