Polo Action at Hunt Club

Members and guests of Gold’s Dragoons, a Westport-based social and commemorative society, gathered today at the Fairfield County Hunt Club, 174 Long Lots Rd, Westport for the seventh annual competition for the Gold’s Dragoons Polo Cup, a match against New York’s Squadron A Club. Gold’s Dragoons were victorious, 11-4 for the fifth time in the seven-year-old competition. The match was preceded by a tailgating party. Gold’s Dragoons, formed in the early 1930s, was selected to honor one of Connecticut’s first mounted colonial militia units, founded in 1660 by Maj. Nathan Gold of Fairfield, whose troop was chartered under the seal of King Charles II. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
