Polo in Vermont: Both USPA Clubs, and My Fall at Sugarbush

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 Vermont as of November 2026: Sugarbush Polo Club in Richmond and Amdez Polo Club. Vermont is summer polo country, and Sugarbush is where I took a fall on a horse named Tequila.

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.
