A safety note

Please always be mindful of what is going on while you are attending polo at the Sarasota Polo Club. Balls may often be miss-hit or unintentionally deflected and accidentally fly into the crowd. The horses can also come over the boards, so always stay behind the white safety line. For your safety, we recommend that you stay at least 35 feet away from the boards. Please never lose sight of your children, who may wander towards the field. It is up to spectators to be aware of what is happening around them in order to keep the game safe and enjoyable for all.
