Victoria, B.C., CANADA V8M-1G9
Winston Churchill plays his last game at the age of 51 (House of Lords vs. House of Commons, 1925). Can you imagine politicians today so sporting? Note the strap Churchill used to keep his right arm stabilized. He had injured it years earlier causing permanent damage.
C'mon Justin, mount up, grab a mallet, and challenge Pierre, Jagmeet, and Yves-François to settle things once and for all!Notice! This is not the "official" website of the Victoria Polo Club. These pages represent solely the views and philosophy of myself, Dan Pedrick, and any comments should be directed to me personally. What is that philosophy? That the purpose of polo is to have fun! (If there are any other reasons for playing polo, please let me know what they are.)
Some of the links below lead to versions of articles I have written and published over the years, mainly in POLO Magazine (now the official magazine of the United States Polo Asssociation). I hope you enjoy reading them.
The Victoria Polo Club was always seeking bold riders with the inclination, ability, and means to play the King of Games. But now the club is in a state of suspended animation, awaiting the arrival of a new age when the ancient Game of Kings / King of Games will once again enrich the regional culture with its beauty and excitement. Like the cryogenically frozen astronauts in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film Space Oddyssey I don't expect to live to see it.
