Laura Forsythe Wasilenkoff; Circuit Champ!

The HITS horseshow is over.  It actually ended with their Final Championship Classes and Million Dollar Jump off 2 weeks ago.  Today is the FINAL day of Polo competition at both of our local and Internationally renowned Polo Clubs.  Eldorado Polo Club off of Madison in Indio, and Empire Polo Club, off of Monroe.

One of my good friends, Laura Forsythe-Wasilenkoff, and her home grown youngster, Jewels, captured the Long Stirrup Equitation Grand Circuit Championship!  What a thrill for Laura and her Jewels.  Laura used to show Jewels’ mother, Look At Me, and now she’s moving on with Jewels.  This was Jewels’ first competitive season at HITS, so even more impressive.  Lauras’ intrepid trainer, Jen Bell, has been involved with both Laura and Jewels’ training since the very beginning.  Now as a 7 year old, Jewels early promise is coming to fruition.

Today is also the Finals of the SKINS Polo Tournament at Eldorado Polo Club.  12-goals, it will be exciting as each chukkar has a cash prize of $4,000 and is cumulative, just as with Holes in Golf.  Game starts at 2 pm.  Empire is also featuring a terrific 2 pm Final match of their 8-goal circuit.  A GREAT day to be had at our Desert Polo Venues…and the last day for another year..come on out!
