Hi there.
Setting up an all inclusive Polo facility in Jamaica. Will be open in February 1999 ... a total resort destination for the avid horseman. Will be sending you pictures of our location shortly. Strange to find two guys with the same name in the same sport. My highest handicap was four goals.
Regards.

Hi, very nice site. I just started playing polo through my college and am learning so much. I am also having a blast and love the sport so far. I hear it only gets better from here too!! I may be coming to New Zealand next school year on exchange. If I do get this opportunity I will be sure and look you up!

From: Olly and Jess Hipwood - Bristol, UK
Hi Mark,
Very impressed by the website - it has been bringing back fond memories of Rangiora and NZ!
Hope you and Russyl are well and all the kids. Hope to get out there again sometime soon.
Olly asked me to send you loads of luck for the coming season and hopes that he may get out there at some point for some friendly polo! He's off to Florida for most of the winter but you never know he may just appear in your neck of the woods!
Anyway - Please say hi to Paul and Donna and everyone else, Lach if he's back etc.
Take care,
Jess.

Well organized and easy to use web site. Love all of the photos dropped in throughout. Newport has a polo league for women coached by Dan Keating at Glen Farm. We're not world class yet, but we have a good time. Do you have many women attending your school?

From: Frances L. Ryman - Christchurch,
This is one of the best advertising sites I have seen and certainly you have done New Zealand proud.
You should think of making this available to Air New Zealand and the NZ Tourist Centre. They might consider you worthy of putting in their Air NZ. You must be applauded for your valuaable contribution to this countryespecially in the way you advertise it.
