The Barrington Hills Polo Club completely filled the polo field sidelines with guests at its 13th annual polo matches for a day of fun and to benefit charity partner, Midwest Veterans Closet. The Gentlemen’s Team won the first match of the day, The Battle of the Sexes. Mike Harrington’s Family team beat the Beaird Dermatology and Shakou Sushi teams in the 3-way round robin competition, earning top team for the Trail Owner’s Cup trophy. The Riding Club of Barrington Hills hosted the Trail Owners Tent, offering cocktails and lunch as a thank-you to the trail owners who permit Riding Club members to horseback ride across their properties.

Enjoy some of the many day’s highlights from Chicagoland’s largest polo event and a cherished tradition for the community.
