The club’s first Polo Classic

Polo has been part of Rose Hill since the 1980s. In 2023, the Rose Hill Equestrian Club hosted its first Charity Polo Classic, bringing neighbors, players and their ponies together for an afternoon of polo, food and friendship, and raising funds for five organizations.

Polo still lives at Rose Hill. Today the Rose Hill Equestrian Center hosts polo matches with Equus Charities of the Lowcountry.
