Picture this: crisp mountain air, thundering hooves, and the unmistakable thrill of hockey on horseback—all set against the stunning backdrop of Colorado Springs. This week on Springs and Things, we’re diving into one of the most glamorous and action-packed events of the season: The Broadmoor Winter Polo Classic!

We’re joined by Lauren DeMarco from Colorado Springs Sports Corp, who’s giving us the inside scoop on how this high-energy sport first galloped into the city’s history, why it’s making a big comeback, and what makes this event unlike any other. 

Whether you’re a polo newbie or a seasoned equestrian enthusiast, we’ll break it all down—so you show up feeling like a VIP instead of wondering what the heck a “chukker” is.

Expect exclusive details on this year’s star players (including a very good-looking guest from Argentina), fashion tips to perfect your polo-chic look, and the can’t-miss experiences happening off the field—think custom hat bars, craft cocktails, and a seriously cool community vibe.

Join us for the ultimate guide to the bougiest winter event in the Springs! Listen now and get your tickets before they’re gone!
