Guards Polo Club celebrates more than six decades of premier polo in an incredible location.

The Club was founded on 25th January 1955 with HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as President. Originally named the Household Brigade Polo Club, the name was changed to its present form in 1969. Since inception the Club has grown considerably and it is now the largest polo club in Europe in terms of membership and number of grounds. Within the Great Park at Windsor, the Club is set in the outstanding natural surroundings of Smith's Lawn, which is thought to have been named after a game keeper at the time of the Restoration in the 17th century. Nearby are the renowned Savill and Valley Gardens.

Our season has only been finished for 48 hours, and already our grounds team are looking ahead to next April. They’ve just begun a project to upgrade the drainage underneath the Castle Ground, to ensure this fabulous field has a top class international standard surface ready for the new season. Stay tuned to keep up to date with our grounds projects as they develop during the winter months

Retiring Club Chairman Jock Green Armitage presents Juan Ambroggio’s stunning chestnut mare Porfiada, and her groom Julio, with the Best Playing Pony blanket following the final of the Autumn Nations Trophy.

Congratulations to all players, grooms and ponies!

Don’t miss your last chance to catch polo at Guards until April next year, say farewell to the players and ponies, join the merriment with a sneaky happy hour after polo and dance on the deck to our sunset DJ. See you all tomorrow!

Tally Ho Farm have been wonderfully generous in supporting our Groom of the Month series for the third year running. Thanks to Chris Adkins and all the Tally Ho team for enabling this prize and encouraging grooms to strive for excellence and promoting the gold standard in pony welfare. Our final winner for the year is Ariel Hernandez who grooms for Jamie Grayson. Look out for our Winter Ten Goal Magazine which will feature all of this years winners

Without our equine logistical wizards, also known as Polo grooms, the sport would simply not function! Ariel Hernandez is the Guards Polo Club and @tallyhofarm Groom of the Month for August. Ariel prepares perfect ponies for Jamie Grayson. He always arrives first to secure the shadiest spot for his ponies, his cooling and hydration are exemplary, and the ponies always look a million dollars. Ariel is inspired by the challenge of having the horses fit and sound, and loves nothing more than to see his ponies perform well on the field. Congratulations @arielhernandez4619
