I’m Amanda Leon, an international amateur polo player, world traveler, and lover of horses. I’ve trained in polo for over 10 years, from Argentina to Sarasota Polo Club, and in 2021 I set out to visit every polo club in America.
The short answer: the U.S. Polo Association’s club directory lists 2 polo clubs in New Mexico as of November 2026: El Caso Polo & Equestrian Center in Quemado and Rancho Los Amigos Polo Club in La Union. Summer is the season for New Mexico’s mountain clubs.
These notes come from my 2021 and 2022 tour, when I tried to visit every polo club in America as a playing USPA member. Seasons, contacts, and prices change, so check each club’s Instagram or the U.S. Polo Association before you go.

USPA Clubs in New Mexico
El Caso Polo & Equestrian Center, Quemado
Rancho Los Amigos Polo Club, La Union
Also from my tour: Rancho Naranjo in Santa Teresa, which isn’t in the USPA directory under that name, was very charming. A set of championship-level kids was training for a youth championship in a slightly dusty arena with lights for playing at night, and I rode a horse named Macho for two chukkers: hard to stop, but smooth and very fast. Club details change, so check the USPA club directory before you drive out.
