The Knox polo fields were once well known, with the Aurora polo team competing both nationally and internationally and hosting tournaments at what is now Knox Farm State Park from the 1930s to the 1980s. Now, the Friends of Knox Farm State Park are attempting to revive East Aurora’s polo legacy with the first Knox Memorial Cup, which will be held at the Chur Equestrian Center on Saturday, July 19.

“We’d like to keep the history of polo alive at the former Knox estate for years to come,” said Elizabeth Wallace, a member of the Friends of Knox Farm polo committee.

The event, which is sponsored by the Western Chapter of the New York State Horse Council, will begin at 1 p.m. with an exhibition match by the Western New York Collegiate Girls Squad. This three-on-three match will consist of two chukkers, or 7.5-minute periods, and is designed to introduce the sport to attendees.

Following the exhibition game, two United States Polo Association teams of four players each will face off in a four-chukker match (slightly shorter than a regulation match, which has six chukkers).

Both matches are free to watch, and members of the public are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy as they observe the games.

Halfway through the main match, in a long-standing polo tradition, the crowd will be invited to stomp the divots in the grass to help smooth the field.

“It’ll be a very well-rounded polo event,” John Hatcher, a former polo player and chairman of the polo committee, said. “I’m looking forward to a safe match, an exciting match and a match that resonates both with the general public, with our sponsors and with people coming to the VIP lunch.”

Hatcher is interested in reestablishing a USPA polo club in East Aurora and the local polo legacy.

“There’s a deep, rich history,” Hatcher said. “Seymour Knox II got into the polo, and then he brought his sons along, Norty and Seymour, and they got into it. Later Norty was captain of the US Polo Team from ’65 to ’68, and his brother Seymour III played in a number of tournaments.”

The polo committee hopes that the Knox Memorial Cup will become an annual event.

“We really want to draw people in, make it accessible. We want to involve the public,” Wallace said.

East Aurora Mayor Allan Kasprzak and Jean Knox will toss the first ball of the matches.

At 11 a.m., there will be a champagne brunch reception near the field, catered by The Roycroft Inn. Reception guests will enjoy VIP seating for the matches, and the reception will also feature a local Dixieland band, an art show and other entertainment. A limited number of tickets were available through July 11 for $75 per person for the reception.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Mikey’s Way Foundation, which connects hospitalized children with their communities through technology, and to the Friends of Knox Farm, for the group’s ongoing efforts to restore the stables and other buildings.

Parking is available near the field for reception attendees or for any handicapped guests and can be accessed by Gypsy Lane or Knox Road. General admission parking is accessible on Knox Road via Grey Street for a $10 charge or for free at Parkdale Elementary School, which is a 15-minute walk from the field. Knox Road will be closed from Gypsy Lane to the soccer fields prior to the event.

Hatcher and the polo committee have high hopes that the Knox Memorial Cup will prove to be “a positive event for East Aurora, for the Knox Farm and for polo.”

Polo is played on horseback on a field 300 yards long and 160 yards wide—the area of about nine football fields.

In outdoor polo, played on horseback on a grassy field, a standard team has four players. The players use long mallets to hit the ball down the field and through the goalposts. The ball is made of plastic or wood and is 3.5 inches in diameter, about the size of a croquet ball.

A game consists of four to eight periods called chukkas or chukkers. At the seven-minute mark, a horn sounds to alert the players, and the game continues for 30 seconds more or until there is a break in play. Players typically switch ponies in the 3-minute interval between chukkers and during the halftime break; the horses may play up to two non-consecutive chukkers in a match.

The most basic rule of the game, according to the United States Polo Association, is the “line of the ball,” which is an invisible line extending along the trajectory of the moving ball that governs how players can intercept the ball. In general, the player that hit the ball has right-of-way when riding after it.

The term “ponies” is merely traditional, and polo ponies are full-sized horses, often thoroughbreds or thoroughbred crosses.

The Knox Memorial Cup will feature a 3-on-3, two-chukker exhibition match, followed by a 4-on-4 match with four chukkers, played by United States Polo Association players.

Great for side sleepers
It always seems hard to find the perfect pillow when you’re a side-sleeper. This one is great. It comes compressed so you will want to allow some time for it to fully fluff back up. The cover is soft and smooth. I love that it isn’t overstuffed. It provides gentle support and a lot of comfort. I was worried it may be too warm since it is polyester, but it is very breathable and I have not had any issues with feeling overly warm on it. It fits a standard size pillow case. It’s not overly stuffed like some other pillows I’ve tried that were specifically for side-sleepers. I think this world be a great pillow for any sleeping position, really. I wasn’t expecting to love a pillow this affordable, but it gets the job done and I get a good night of sleep. I’ll be purchasing some more for our guest room.

Incredibly Comfortable and Supportive — My New Favorite Pillow!
I wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do, but the DIORIS large sleeping pillow really exceeded my expectations. From the first night, I noticed a difference in the way my neck and shoulders felt in the morning—less tension, better alignment, and overall more restful sleep. The fill is just the right balance between plush and supportive. It doesn’t flatten out during the night, which is a problem I’ve had with other pillows, especially those that come overstuffed or too soft. This one holds its shape well but still has that cozy, cloud-like feel when you lay your head on it. I’m a side and back sleeper, and this pillow works beautifully in both positions. It’s also large enough that I don’t feel like I’m falling off it during the night, but not so big that it takes over the whole bed. One suggestion: if you’re picky about loft, you might want to give it a gentle fluff or adjust the fill before your first night. But honestly, I didn’t need to do much—it was pretty much perfect out of the bag. Highly recommended if you're looking for a high-quality, comfortable, and generously sized pillow that supports a great night’s sleep!

Hotel like pillow
These pillows were a pleasant surprise. I bought the set for our guest room but ended up keeping them for our own bed after trying them out. They feel incredibly soft yet still provide enough support to keep my neck from feeling stiff in the morning. I sleep on my side and back, and these work great for both positions. My spouse, who usually runs hot at night, said they stayed cool and breathable. The material feels high quality, and I love that they’re machine washable without losing their shape. They fluffed right back up after drying. If you're looking for that plush hotel-pillow feel with everyday practicality, this set really delivers.

Very soft, not firm at all
This pillow is very floppy and not firm at all. It is quite large and I was surprised at the size. My dog has taken a liking to it and decided it's now her new dig bed, which is fine by me, because it's really too soft for my liking. If you like soft pillows then this is for you. If you require something with a bit more support then you won't enjoy this pillow.
