Please visit our website at windsorflorida.com to view all our current listings.

Our second biennial Windsor Charity Polo Cup was a resounding success.

It turned out to be a beautiful sunny February day with hours of fun for the entire family. We thank our sponsors, world-class polo players, hardworking committee and all who came out to support the event.

If you are interested in learning more about Windsor, please contact me at 772 388 8400 or 800 233 7656, or email at betsy.hanley@ windsorflorida.com. I welcome the opportunity to tell you more about the lifestyle at Windsor and the various real estate opportunities available.

We are saddened by the news that polo legend Carlos Gracida lost his life following a serious polo accident while playing in Wellington. We feel fortunate at Windsor to have spent time with Carlos recently. He was a great man, adored by his family, friends and fans. The Weston family, Windsor Members and staff extend deepest condolences to the entire Gracida family at this time.

Best wishes,

Windsor Launches Mini Documentary Film Series A new documentary film series made its debut at Windsor in January with standing-roomonly attendance – and even a wait list for the last film.

The goal for the “Windsor Docs” inaugural season was to showcase a slate of awardwinning documentary films that tell compelling narratives. The theme for the month-long series was “extraordinary people doing extraordinary things.” The film series, which included four inspirational and powerful documentaries, was a chance for Windsor Members and their guests to appreciate the art of filmmaking and to interact with filmmakers, editors, producers and others involved in the projects.

“AKA Doc Pomus” documents the life of legendary rock and roll icon Doc Pomus who triumphed over adversity to become one of the greatest songwriters in the history of American popular music.

Also shown at Windsor – in an exclusive prescreening before its theatrical distribution – was “Particle Fever,” a film that follows scientists as they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe with the launch of the Large Hadron Collider.

The 2014 Windsor Docs committee included Windsor Members Barbara Ettinger, Sven

Among the films shown was the highly acclaimed “Buck,” which tells the story of Buck Brannaman, an American cowboy and “horse whisperer.”

The film “ThunderSoul,” presented by actor Jamie Foxx, focuses on a beloved high school band leader and the struggling jazz band he transformed into a world-class funk powerhouse in the early 1970s.

Commemorative Poster Artist Derek Gores

A Perfect Windsor Day for Polo

Artist Derek Gores, who created the official commemorative poster for the 2014 Windsor Charity Polo Cup, was the subject of the cover feature in the February edition of Vero Beach Magazine. Read the entire 11-page feature at windsorflorida.com/news.

The Florida artist is admired for creating “torn paper collage” works that encourage the viewer to do a double take, so as to catch not only the obvious image he is portraying but also the intricate treasures hidden within.

Stand back and look at the Windsor poster and you’ll see the athleticism of this “sport of kings” depicted in a colorful scene of a polo player poised to strike the ball on the Windsor polo field. Look deeper and you’ll spot some of the marvelous details that make up Windsor: distinctive architecture, lush green spaces and glorious sporting amenities.

The collage was constructed from photos, maps and various print materials from community archives.

In addition to official artwork, the Windsor Polo Cup introduced a line of exclusive commemorative merchandise including an official cup, tote bag and a variety of hats. The poster and merchandise can still be purchased at store.windsorflorida.com.

Spectators at the second biennial Charity Polo Cup at Windsor cheered on their favorite players, and enjoyed a champagne luncheon, festive tailgating and a variety of other family friendly activities.

More than 1,000 people turned out for the February event, which was held on Windsor’s polo grounds.

County School District’s “Summer Literacy on the Lagoon,” a local program developed to support student literacy.

The event’s presenting sponsor was Baltimore headquartered investment firm Brown Advisory. Other signature sponsors included Swarovski and Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi of Melbourne.

Legends of polo including Carlos Gracida, Memo Gracida and Mike Azzaro teamed with John Walsh to play against Malcomb Borwick, Luis Escobar, Pablo Dorignac and Salvatore Ferragamo.

The Caballeros de Ruby team beat opposing team Balios 9-7. Ferragamo was named Most Valuable Player.

The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Windsor co-chaired the tournament with Ferragamo, who is CEO of the renowned Italian fashion family’s Il Borro Relais & Chateaux, Winery and Estate.

Proceeds from the event benefitted the Rett Syndrome Research Trust and the Indian River

Carlos Gracida In Memoriam Windsor was greatly saddened to learn of the recent death of polo legend Carlos Gracida.

Gracida, 53, suffered fatal injuries while playing in a match at Everglades Polo Club.

He died February 25 at Delray Medical Center surrounded by his sons Carlos Jr. and Mariano, and his brother Guillermo (known as Memo), all of them professional polo players.

A longtime resident of Wellington, Carlos Gracida was born in Mexico City on September 5, 1960. He was among the greatest polo players in

the sport’s history. He won most of the world’s major tournaments, including the U.S. Open nine times, the British Open 10 times and the Grand Slam three times. He was inducted into the Polo Hall of Fame in 2012.

He also coached Britain’s Royal family and was often referred to as the Queen’s favorite polo player.

Gracida had recently been at Windsor to play in the 2014 Charity Polo Cup. He will be greatly missed by all those in the polo community.
