POLO IN FLORIDA IS FUN AND FABULOUS

From the Right-Side...

Polo, the sport involving horses and ladies wearing hats, is in full-swing in South Florida.

Polo in Wellington, Florida.

Personally, my knowledge of the sport is somewhat limited, but I have no worries about all the rules and regulations.

All I really need to know is that Wellington, Florida, in the winter is the perfect place for such an outing.

Here is what you do need to know:

*Find a way to nab a spot at one of the many tents. It is the best way to view all the action.

As close as we will ever get to a Bentley.

You will need connections for this, but it can be done.

*Arrive at the Polo Grounds early as traffic and parking can be jammed.

*Dress as dressy as you wish, you will fit right in.

*Lovely hats are not a must, but why not?

*Do consider comfy shoes. I opted for dressy sandals by Ralph Lauren and the Left-Side went with the POLO canvas style. You may have to walk and your feet with thank you.

Comfy shoes are a must.

*If you are fortunate enough, your host will serve lovely champagne and delicious food. Ours did.

Shoes help us get into the spirit.

*You meet some fascinating people, so don't be afraid to strike up a little chat.

*You get to see cool things like Bentley convertibles.

*Watching the horses and riders, even if you are iffy on the rules, is absolutely delightful.

*Divot stomping is a time-honored tradition and the Left-Side always manages to nab a special promotional something the event folks toss into the crowd. It is only fair, after all the divot stomping.

Polo is new to us, but we are willing to trot (see what I did) out there and learn a new sport. Drinking champagne helps me learn!

Gotta dash...
