A special treat was being bussed one evening to an outing at the local polo grounds. Ed Robbins, age 85, is the owner of the ranch. He has been proclaimed by Guiness Book Of World Records as “the oldest active polo player in the world”. We were about to see this amazing gentleman in action! Upon our arrival, we were invited to join a hayride to the state-of-the-art horse barn where 24 race horses were stabled. Soon after that tour, we became spectators at an exhibition polo match. An announcer described the finer points of the sport to us, thankfully, since most of us were new to polo. As the sun went down, we enjoyed a steak dinner in a lovely gazebo. We then danced under the stars to a local band of talented vocalists and musicians.
