NPR features Sioux Falls Polo Club

From staff reports

Under the headline “Polo meets Rodeo,” NPR’s “Morning Edition” recently featured the Sioux Falls Polo Club by airing a piece produced by South Dakota Public Broadcasting.

The story contrasted the small polo club to the state’s official sport, rodeo, saying the two sports aren’t that far apart.

“I think a lot of the general principles that do translate very well is riding at high speeds, stopping, sudden turns, things like that. Really, I think that would be a seamless transition,” said Rebecca Barker, who is originally from Jamaica, where polo is popular, and helps run the Sioux Falls club.

The club is one of about 300 clubs recognized by the U.S. Polo Association.
