Kitty Beveridge Barker learned to ride on her father’s polo ponies in South Florida. She started jumping over the short rails of the massive fields at Royal Palm Polo in Boca Raton. Her dedication to riding has been steady and she’s now a highly successful professional on the horse show circuit. A resident of Unison, Virginia, she travels to Florida in the winter with her husband, fellow horseman Johnny Barker. Her father, the late A. D. “Don” Beveridge, was recently honored at The Museum of Polo 35th annual Hall of Fame Gala in Lake Worth, Florida. He was honored with the Philip Inglehart Award.The nomination read, “Pioneering Efforts: A truly iconic figure during the rebuilding years following WWII, Don Beveridge was a catalyst for helping to reinvigorate the sport throughout the 1950s and ‘60s. Don helped organize and played on some of the most dynamic teams of that era, leading his famed Triple C team to four victories in the U.S. Open, and wins of the National 20 Goal and Monty Waterbury, leaving his mark competitively. He co-founded, along with his brother, Bert Beveridge, Boca Raton Polo Club, playing an integral part of helping to bring and promote high-goal polo in South Florida. To further help publicize and energize the sport, he started Polo Unlimited Magazine.” He reached a four-goal handicap, won the U.S. Open four times (1954, ‘55,’ 57, ‘60); the National 20 Goal in 1954 & 1955, the 1954 and 1956 Butler National Handicap and the Monty Waterbury in 1951 and.1954 and many others.
