The Gay Polo League is an organization of LGBT polo players in the United States.
History
It was founded in 2006 by polo player Chip McKenney. It is headquartered in Wellington, Florida.
The league has been designated by the United States Polo Association (USPA) as a polo club. It has organized clinics and social events at the Eldorado Polo Club, the Empire Polo Club, the Menlo Polo Club, the San Diego Polo Club, the Santa Barbara Polo Club, and the Will Rogers Polo Club in Los Angeles.
Since 2010, the league has organized an annual International Gay Polo Tournament. The tournament took place at the Grand Champions Polo Club, owned by Melissa and Marc Ganzi, until 2014. In 2015, it will take place at the International Polo Club Palm Beach. During the tournament, each team is joined by a high-goaler. For example, in 2010, eight-goal Nic Roldan joined one of the teams.
The league has made charitable contributions to the Wellington Rotary Club, Compass and the Palm Beach County chapter of the Human Rights Council.
