Rancho Poquito just got some good news. Rene’, pictured above (trying to run over me since I was blocking the goal!), had her United States Polo Association Handicap raised to 1 Goal. I won’t go into a lot of detail on the handicap system, other than handicaps are based on ratings of one's peers, more information can be found here. This is a respectable rating for any polo player. Currently of the over 3,000 USPA members, less than 33% of the members carry a rating of 1 goal or more. I couldn’t break down the numbers by gender, but I know that only a handful of women ever surpase a 0 goal rating. We at Rancho Poquito are very proud of Rene’ for achieving this goal, this is a very nice honor.

Also, a shout out to our buddy Andy Towell, who has a cool website showing lots of polo photos.

Congratulations.
