I realized a few days ago that I never posted anything about Therapeutic Horsemanship's polo match fundraiser! Am I a slacker or what?!
So...a few weeks ago we attended our second polo match (ever). Last year we found out about the polo match right after Will started therapy at TH. We thought we would go, check it out and see what it was all about. We had a fabulous time! It was Phil, myself, Ben, Isabel and Will and my sister, Katie, her husband and her two boys. None of us had ever been to a polo match before so we really didn't know what we were in for. We had the best time! Ben and Isabel loved it! The rest of the kids were a bit too young to sit and watch, but they had a great time too! We packed a picnic lunch and a couple bottles of wine and had a lovely day!
Fast forward a year...Polo this year was a bit different...in a good way! We talked it up so much over the year that a lot of people wanted to check it out for themselves!
This time my parents went. As did...
my sister, Heather and her two girls,
my sister, Katie, her husband and their two boys,
my brother Adam, his wife and their little guy,
my great friend Sally and her little girl and
another great friend, Julie and her two kids!
Not to mention, of course my family of 5. We had a large group and I was ecstatic!
It certainly wasn't the quiet day of polo that we had last year, but it was awesome in so many other ways. To know that all those people took time out of their busy lives for a couple hours of polo to raise money for Will's horse therapy... I teared up more than once that day! (I know that's not hard for most of you to believe!) Thank you to those listed above! You'll never know how much that day meant to Phil and me! I look forward to making this a yearly tradition! I hope you do to!
I failed to get a photo of the whole group, but here's a few snapshots of the day...
