It was a stunning day at Richmond and Windsor Polo Club looked it's best as a large crowd descended filling marquees, car boot spaces and picnicing on the sidelines.
Many people contributed to making the day such a success. In particular, the horse lenders, the Committee of Windsor Polo Club and the team at Fairfax Media - Rural Press.
