Myopia Polo holds the distinction of being one of the oldest active clubs in America. One of five charter members of the United States Polo Association in 1891, except for two wartime hiatuses, club players have competed on summer Sundays on the original Gibney Field (named after what was Gibney Farm) since the first game in 1887.

Gibney Field was the scene of the first formal intercollegiate game, with Harvard playing Yale in 1907. It has hosted the U.S. Senior Championship, the equivalent of what is now the U.S. Open championship. Polo scenes from the 1967 movie classic 'The Thomas Crown Affair' with Steve McQueen were shot on the site.

Gibney Field is highlighted in Horace Laffaye's sweeping 2009 book "The Evolution of Polo" quoting from Newell Bent's 1929 volume 'American Polo': "The dip at the clubhouse end has never been graded, and, after all, to the spectators watching the game, there is always the added interest in the wonder as to whether the players whose bobbing heads can be seen in the distance are making a goal or not. They will still bob after a knock-in. But if they slowly ride towards us, growing in size as first hull down under the horizon, we know that the score has changed and that they are coming back to the center of the field for play to begin again... In spite of the dip, it is a very excellent field."

Many have been the memorable Gibney games, including the first contest with archrival Dedham in September 1888 ending in a 13-0 whitewash for the home team after the visitor's captain was injured on the opening play. Another much publicized game was played in the teens against what was billed as a visiting American Indian team who arrived in native regalia, only to be found out at game's end to be out of state pranksters. In 1970 there was an international contest against a fine visiting team from New Zealand. Other noteworthy matches include a Junior Westchester Cup game, Young Britain vs. Young Myopia in the 1980's, and numerous thrilling sudden death overtimes in the 20-goal East Coast Open.

Many too have been the 10-goal players - the highest possible handicap - who have graced local polo, ranging from Myopia's own Rodolphe Agassiz in the 1910's to Adam Snow in the 2000's and including such visiting superstars as the great Tommy Hitchcock Jr. in the 1920's, Australian Bob Skene in the 1980's and an assortment of contemporary American polo greats like Owen Rinehart and Memo Gracida and scions of famous Argentine polo families such as Marcos and Eduardo Heguy and Gonzalo and Alfonso Pieres.

Myopia Polo's rich mix of history, bucolic setting, equine and athletic energy comprises a colorful tapestry for players and spectators alike every summer Sunday at the oldest polo club in the country.

You will read this book late into the night or savor it for the next Day. :)
Format: Hardcover
What an amazing writer! Such clear and concise unfolding of events entwined with Biblical signs and Prophecy. Incredibly well researched and a joy to read. This book is a joy to read and while I'm trying to savor it, I can tell I will be reading this all night and rereading again. I want to gift this to my sister because I'm so impressed but I also want it in my collection. I will probably buy this book again for this reason. Exceptionally easy to focus and surrender to what God wants to impart in this book. Thank you for your clarity and love with this book.

Revelation Bible Study
Format: Kindle
I have completed a one year bible study on Revelation in our church, then David Jeremiah came out with his book Signs. It is absolutely FABULOUS! He is such a great writer, he explains from scripture and interprets exactly what John the Apostle is seeing and puts it to print! This was a great back up to my bible study and a resource that I will use forever. Prophecy is so important and we all have questions about where we go when we die, what is happening to our world as we have known it. David Jeremiah answers all of this and more. I am not confused anymore! I now can talk about eternity to others who may wonder why they need to know the things in this book. Once you have read "Signs" you will want to tell everyone so they don't spend eternity in that dark, dark, fiery place. Everyone needs to recognize Jesus as King. If you miss out now there will be NO TURNING BACK! I'm not a fanatic but I would hate to see anyone spend eternity in that situation. God is a God of second chances. His love is real for everyone. You need to know why you need to accept Jesus as Savior now so you won't have to endure the things that are coming. And it could be here at any moment. David Jeremiah tells you why you need to be ready!

An absolutely important read.
Format: Paperback
I bought this book on a recommendation. I loved it. It is easy to read, explains itself well, and is very informative. It always gives scripture to back it up. I have read the Bible and continue to do so, but this book explains a lot of things and also refers to actual history to and current events. It was written in 1999, but proves itself to be very important in the year we live in today. I recommend this book to anyone who is a Christian, wants to be a Christian, or even people who don't know what they believe. The author of this book has made me a fan of his writings. If you decide to read this book, you won't regret it.

Important read but a little difficult to understand
Format: Hardcover
The beginning is a well written history on the background of what is happening in Revelations, how and why Revalations came about, and what will occur in the ends times. Lots of prophecy, (which I love to read about) but I am finding it difficult to understand. I am a fast reader, so maybe for someone else, who reads slowly and with intention, they may understand it better. I guess I was hoping for a little easier read and right to the point. This could be my problem and not the book! David Jeremiah is a wonderful pastor and his teachings are always relatable and easy to understand so as I write this, I think it's the reader's problem, not the writer :)
