The Board

The Arena

The Santa Barbara Youth Polo Association is a United States 501(c)3 consisting of 9 committed volunteer board members from all walks of life. We have board meetings throughout the year, donor appreciation parties and fundraisers. Our annual financial goal is to be able to provide scholarships which cover at least 70% of the costs of participating in the Collegiate/Scholastic Arena Polo Program in Santa Barbara to all the college and high school students who apply. Additionally, we strive to make sure there are enough horses and equipment so that the polo program will be safe and successful. Please feel free to contact us with questions or donations.
