Welcome to the Flying H Polo Club

About Us

In 1985 Skey, Gil and Skeeter Johnston bought the Flying H and the adjoining Meade Creek ranch at the base of the Big Horn mountains. The Johnstons have always been involved in polo and the combined ranches have become a perfect place for them to raise polo ponies and to play them in the summer.

In 2005 they decided to expand their polo operation by building three new fields and barns that can accommodate over 100 horses. The Flying H Polo club was created for High Goal Polo. This level of polo is only played in a few locations around the world and the Flying H Polo Club is excited to bring the game to Big Horn, Wyoming. High goal polo is played with professionals and amateurs on the same team. Each player is assigned a rating from -2 to 10, called a handicap, and when the team has a combined number of 16 or higher, it is considered to be a high goal game.

This is our third summer and it is our pleasure to bring to Big Horn some of the world’s greatest polo players for a season of fast paced, artistically played polo. We would like to extend an invitation to everyone to come and watch the games - there is no admission charge. Games will be held on Thursdays and Saturdays. Game times are 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. We are located just west of the Big Horn Equestrian Center, on Bird Farm Road and the entrance is well marked.

The Big Horn Polo Club and the Flying H Polo Club compliment each other. Having both clubs means that every level of polo is being played in Big Horn. The Flying H Polo Club summer league starts on July 19th, 2007 and runs through the last Saturday of August.

The Johnstons will have two family members playing in the summer league – Gillian and Will. They will be joined by some of the best professional players and visiting players from all over the world and togetherwill form the high goal teams.

Please join us for an exiting second season. Each Thursday starts a new tournament ending with the finals match on Saturday at 3:00 pm. Please feel free to park your car on the elevated, grass sideline for a great view. After the first game, we will switch to a new field for the second game. Bring your family and friends, throw in a picnic and enjoy a beautiful Wyoming afternoon. Our only request is that you please come without your dogs as we have all the action we can handle with our resident dog pack.

Big Horn, Wyoming is renowned for its history of quality cattle ranches, outstanding horse breeding and raising operations and for its continuous support of polo.

The Johnstons were attracted to the area not only for the beauty, abundant wildlife, hunting, fishing and ranching opportunities, but for the historical importance. Polo has been played in Big Horn since 1898, and the Johnston family is excited to continue and expand the tradition.
