Thank You, Rose Hill
Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer, player, and neighbor who made our Charity Polo Classic possible.
The Rose Hill Equestrian Club was honored to present our resident-led, grassroots effort to bring The Game of Kings back to our neighborhood.
Polo still lives at Rose Hill. Today the Rose Hill Equestrian Center hosts polo matches with Equus Charities of the Lowcountry. Visit their site for upcoming matches.
