There's a polo club, and Ferraris, in the middle of a Sussex cornfield
Grayfields Polo Club in Sussex County is bringing the sport to New Jersey with colorful charity matches and private lessons.
In the heart of a Sussex cornfield, west of Allamuchy, lies Grayfields Polo Club. The 10-acre grass field is immaculate, save for deep horseshoe-shaped divots. At either end stand two red poles that riders, in green and blue uniforms, aim to score against with their mallets. The sidelines are adorned with women and men dressed in vibrant outfits, sipping fine spirits, while a suckling pig roasts on a spit.
Luxury cars surround the field, adding to the grandeur of the event. This setting, though reminiscent of Field of Dreams, is actually a charity polo match at Grayfields Polo Club, with proceeds benefiting the Catholic Academy of Sussex County. Although this is just one day of a five-month season, with three fundraisers planned, the club remains a hidden gem, with many polo matches happening privately, away from the public eye.
