A Day of Connection, Polo, and Timeless Scenery
Our American Stalls team had the privilege of once again sponsoring the Luxury Equestrian Network’s annual event, this time hosted at the historic Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
What stood out most to us this year was the quality of the connections being made. Many of the guests had already met at previous gatherings, allowing conversations to dive deeper and collaborations to unfold naturally. With every event, this network grows richer and more meaningful, a true reflection of the passion and professionalism that define our community.
A Setting Steeped in History
Founded in 1911, the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club is the third-oldest polo club in the United States, and its atmosphere carries a palpable sense of history. From the vintage clubhouse to the time-worn grandstands, layers of green paint refreshed over generations, wood that tells its own story —every corner feels alive with tradition.
Set against a breathtaking backdrop of mountains and ocean views, the club offers a postcard-worthy setting for one of the world’s fastest sports. Guests enjoyed front-row seats to a thrilling and competitive polo match, a perfect complement to the day’s lively conversations.
A Community of Visionaries
This year’s gathering brought together a dynamic mix of architects, builders, owners’ representatives, designers, and other leaders from across the equestrian design and construction world, even a rodeo cowboy from Malibu joined in.
The blend of perspectives and expertise created an inspiring afternoon of ideas and a shared appreciation for equestrian excellence.
Gratitude and Collaboration
We are deeply grateful for the support of American Stalls, whose partnership makes events like this possible. Their commitment to craftsmanship, design, and community mirrors the very essence of the Luxury Equestrian Network, creating experiences that elevate the standard of the equestrian lifestyle.
As the sun set over the polo field and new friendships continued to form, one thing became clear: this event would not be our last at Santa Barbara Polo Club. With such an enthusiastic response, it’s safe to say it’s becoming a cherished annual tradition.
