Polo in the Country Event Returns on September 11, 2022

Polo in the Country is an annual event sponsored by the Norfolk Hunt Club for the enjoyment and participation of the entire community featuring an exciting polo match, a special half-time program, and activities for everyone. Polo in the Country will take place on Sunday, September 11. 2022, with a rain date on the following Sunday at the Norfolk Hunt Steeplechase Field, 240 North Street, Medfield, MA. Gates open at 11:00 AM, activities begin at 12:15 PM, and the polo match starts at 1:00 PM.

This year will be the 19th consecutive year with over 1000 attendees expected. The proceeds are for preservation and protection of recreational space and other open space in Medfield, Dover, Sherborn, and surrounding communities.

The Park Rangers Mounted Color Guard will lead Open Ceremony with singers from the Handel and Haydn Society performing the National Anthem.

The polo match has historical significance going back to 1888 between two competitive teams from the Dedham Polo Club and the Norfolk Hunt Club. The polo game will be six “chukkers” divided into two halves of three chukkers each with an extended half-time break.

A half-time feature will include Parade of the Norfolk Hunt Club foxhounds from the Dover-based Norfolk Kennels, one of the oldest kennels in America still in use. Huntsman Steve Farrin accompanied by whipper-in’s will lead the pack of hounds and demonstrate his national award-winning horn blowing talents.

Three types of seating are available: general admission, preferred table seating under tents along-side center field, and reserved tailgate spots at field edge. For more information or to reserve tailgate spot or table, or to purchase advanced tickets please contact Ruth Baltopoulos at Norfolk Hunt Club: Polo in the Country (https://www.norfolkhunt.com/events-polo-in-the-country).

The Norfolk Hunt Club looks forward to seeing you!
