Magnolia Blushes: Horses and Horsepower at the Chukkers for Charity Polo Match
This weekend we attended the Chukkers for Charity polo match and classic car show at Riverview Farm in Franklin, TN and it couldn’t have been more fun! While there are more expensive tables, tents, and tailgating tickets available for purchase, the general admission is only $20 and all proceeds go to benefit two very worthy Nashville charities, The Rochelle Center and Saddle Up!.
This might be the only sport that allows spectators to come out on the field at halftime. Not only did we get to take an up close look at the classic cars, but we also participated in the time-honored tradition of “stomping the divots.” If your like me you may know exactly what that is, not because you are a polo aficionado but because it is something Julia Roberts did in the movie Pretty Woman.
