Owen Rinehart
Starting at an early age, Owen made a commitment to become one of polo’s best players and in 1991, he rose to the pinnacle of the sport by becoming 10-goals. During that rise to polo perfection, Owen earned the reputation of always being well mounted and well prepared for every game in which he played. He competed in numerous USPA events, winning the 1986 U.S. Open Championship and the U.S. Open handicap in 1982, and the Gold, C.V. Whitney, Monty Waterbury, America, Hall of Fame and World Cups, as well as the East Coast Open. Internationally, he played on the winning U.S. teams in the 1987 Coronation Cup and the 1992 Westchester Cup. Owen also participated in the Avila Camacho Cup series in 1981 and ‘88 and has a substantial record of tournament wins in England. His pony, Hill Country Slim, won the Hartman Trophy in 1986.
