Joe Casey Sr.

Joe Casey Sr. helped set the standard for large-scale professional polo management. In the 1960s, while working in Tulsa for John T. Oxley, he oversaw the horses for a high-goal team, managed the breeding operation, and played on Oxley’s teams, demonstrating both exceptional skill and keen horsemanship. Casey was also among the first Americans to travel to Argentina in search of top-quality horses, a practice that soon became essential to high-goal polo in the United States. Known for generously sharing his knowledge, he guided numerous young players. On the field, Casey’s achievements include winning the 1970 British Gold Cup with Boca Raton, the 1966 12-goal with Tulsa, and the 1981 Bronze Trophy and Inter-Circuit titles, also with Tulsa.
