Polo field update

Here's a pic of the planned site for the new arena, off Via Pajaro and adjacent to the Equestrian Center. In addition to concerns of local residents in The Village and Los Ranchos Estates, boarders and trainers at the Equestrian Center have voiced concerns about the loss of turnouts to the polo ponies and incompatibilities between the way polo ponies are exercised versus hunter/jumpers and trail horses. "Polo players need to 'pony' their horses, cantering around in groups of 3 or more - not much of a match for kids on jumpers in a nearby arena or folks on a quiet trail ride", said one boarder who asked not to be named. Could be interesting times ahead.
