My Name is Abby Miller and im originally from Denver, Colorado. I have been fortunate enought to be around horses all my life, starting with hunter/jumper background, but I got involved grooming from polo at 15, I inmidiatly fell in love with the sport and soon i started plying at Denver Polo Club, and even getting my own ponies as well.
I recenlty moved to Arizona for school and was lucky enough to find Arizona Polo Club and Scottsdale Polo Academy and its amazing members and horses. I've been so lucky to call this club home away from home and can't wait for the upcoming season!
