Proposed I/I Budget Cuts to Horse Providers and Shipping Expenses

It is very important to preserve the sport for future generations

Recommend fully funding I/I program as our youth are the future of polo!

It's critical that the USPA make long term investments in the future of polo - encouraging more people to get exposed to this incredible sport early in life with effective resources.

This is insane with noreality at all, please do not support this nonsense!

The ii programs have been such a big part of my college experience, these budget cuts would great reduce that experience. I urge you to reconsider.

Stop this budget cut!!!!

Gotta keep!!

Cutting horse funds is the fastest way to end polo.

This is disastrous to the future of polo

This is very unexpected and will remove a lot of teams from competition.

Michigan State University

I/I introduces polo to so many enthusiastic youth who beginning laying the foundation to strong careers. If you cut I/I budgets, polo could lose an entire demographic of up and coming polo players. Not to mention these I/I players and their friends and families are the main target market for USPA Brands. Polo needs to grow this demographic, not penalize it. Teams will drop out if the I/I budget is cut. Please do not cut this extremely important program.

Central Coast Polo Club, Owner/Manager Cal Poly Polo Team, Coach Help continue to support our I/I Programs and most importantly the horses!! We have accepted donated horses for the past 18 years. We support USC, Cal Poly, 3 IS Teams and all the NW teams who don't have the ability to ship to tournaments because of distance. Our club works hard for the USPA and their support was 7% of our income from last year. We need their assistance, or we will have to freeze accepting donations from high goal and medium goal players. We will also have to reduce our herd to reduce expenses. And reducing the herd means less students get on a horse. Keep kids on horses!!!

University of Arkansas Polo Club

Please keep this program that benefits the I/I clubs that need it most. The smaller clubs often have players who are first generation polo enthusiasts, growing the sport and its fan base. The I/I program needs more financial support, not less.

Please do not cut the funds. Kids are the fastest growing demographics in the polo sport and the future!

Please don't cut the funds. These horses are an important part of polo and the people who supply them need your support. Thank you.

The future of polo!

We need to continue supporting the programs that onboard, train and ultimately retain a large number of players rather than funneling funds into elite training for a few.

I/I Polo programs gave me so many amazing opportunities in high school, and it should continue to do so for future generations of polo players. I/I programs give opportunities to people outside of traditionally polo families and cultures.
