Lucia is one of our most reliable ponies. Some even say she anticipates the right play before her rider even asks. With her speed, power, and quick instincts, she’s a force to be reckoned with on the field. Yet, despite her intimidating presence as an opponent, Lucia is the sweetest companion off the field. She’s always gentle and affectionate, eagerly welcoming post-practice stretches and cuddle sessions with the players.

Moana is adored for her quirky personality and sassy charm. She’s a little pony with a big heart and unmatched determination on the field. While she might not be the fastest in a game, players can always rely on her steady control and smooth ride. Off the field, Moana has a special way of greeting her favorite players at her stall door, and a treat is never overlooked. Her playful nature and affectionate demeanor make her a beloved member of the team.

Pampita has a need for speed that makes her hard to catch—blink too fast, and you might miss her! She’s another horse the players can always count on for an exciting, high-level game of polo. With multiple MVP (“Most Valuable Pony”) titles under her belt, she remains one of the top picks for the team. After a long practice, Pampita shows her gratitude in the sweetest way, often wrapping her neck around the players in an affectionate hug. Her energy and heart make her a true standout.

Philomena, affectionately known as Philly, is one of our most comfortable rides. With her long, steady stride, she keeps her players in perfect rhythm throughout the game. When it comes to polo, Philly is a force to be reckoned with—her powerful bump makes an impact every time. Though she prefers to take it easy, when it’s time to perform, she’s quick and agile. After a hard practice, Philly enjoys a refreshing rinse and never turns down a well-earned treat to show her appreciation for all her hard work.

We are thrilled to welcome Mowra as one of the newest additions to our team. Generously donated to us by the Boston Polo Club, she’s already making her mark and continues to shine in our program. Players have quickly grown fond of her, eagerly anticipating the season ahead with her by their sides. Though she may be small, Mowra is a powerhouse—speed is her specialty, and she’s perfected it. As she spends more time with the team and our ponies, her sweet and gentle personality is beginning to shine through, making her a true joy to have around.

Our polo ponies have always given their all, whether in a game or during team practice. We want to take a moment to honor those special horses who may no longer be in action, but will forever remain a cherished part of our team.

Chukker is truly a gentleman and UConn’s kindest polo pony. He thrives on the attention he gets from the players and always shows his affection in return. Lovingly nicknamed “Chuk” by the team, players look forward to every ride with him. Chukker is a versatile horse, capable of excelling at any task asked of him. While he may not be the fastest or the strongest pony, his heart is unmatched, and his loyalty and kindness make him a cherished member of the team.
