Citroen

Citroen was an outstanding athlete winning the top honors in Argentina where he was bred, before coming to the United States. The stunning chestnut gelding was then purchased by Robert Lehman who paid top price at auction. Citroen continued his outstanding play and winning major awards, including being judged best polo pony in the 1930 and 1931 National Polo Pony Society Show, a rare feat for a gelding in a very competitive field of remarkable ponies. Citroen was played by Hall of Famer Eric Pedley en route to victory in the 1930 Westchester Cup.
