George K. Oliver

The son of an Idaho horse dealer, George Oliver was born into a world of horses, a world which remained his life-long interest. He received a 9-goal rating in 1948, and among his many polo victories were five U.S. Open Championships, the National Twenty Goal on three occasions, and the Deauville Gold Cup in 1952. He captained the U.S. team versus Argentina in 1950.

His interest in polo took him to virtually every state in this country as well as many places abroad and his organizational abilities greatly contributed to many club operations. A fine horseman and judge of horses, George Oliver was a great player and advocate of the game.
