Polo players take to the fields at Mashomack

PINE PLAINS — The polo fields at Mashomack Polo Club in Pine Plains were burst into action earlier this month under the pounding sensation of galloping horses, when the club kicked off the month of June with practices and games on Friday, June 3, through Sunday, June 5.
