Flying Cow Polo Club

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Richard “Dick” W. Fredericks — veterinarian, polo player, car racer, sailor, and one of the most generous souls the polo world has ever known.
•
Horsemanship runs in the Fredericks family — a proud legacy that Doc carried with him throughout his life. A Cornell-trained vet who treated Secretariat and Snowman, cared for polo ponies and racehorses, and never turned away a dog who needed him. A man who survived a hurricane at sea, swam next to a great white shark, and fox-hunted in Ireland. A polo player who shaped the careers and lives of many professional and amateur players, gave a home to so many — both humans and four legged — and dreamed of a place — Flying Cow Polo Club — where anyone could come enjoy a chukker and stay to watch the big guys play.
•
Doc led his life by example, and we will remember him every time we go onto the field or into the arena and remember why we are all here.
•
Doc is survived by his beloved family, who are ready to carry on his legacy at Cedar Croft Farm and Flying Cow Polo Club. Flying Cow will continue to operate in his memory, and we are deeply honored to carry on his legacy through this special club he created.
Thank you Doc, you have touched the lives of so many and we’ll carry your love for this sport with us always. 🩷

As our Wellington season comes to a close, we'd like to take a moment to thank those who made it an unforgettable journey.
•
First and foremost, to Kylie, our fearless leader, thank you for your unwavering enthusiasm, creativity, and passion for polo. You've brought Doc Fredericks' vision to life, creating a club that offers a unique blend of friendly and competitive polo in the heart of the winter polo capital.
•
A big thank you to our instructors, Jenna, Mario, and Shannon, for their tireless efforts and incredible ponies. Your dedication to teaching the next generation of players is inspiring, and your positivity and patience are contagious.
•
A special shoutout to Jennifer for her incredible work in organizing our arena events and bringing Polo After Dark to life!
•
And to our students, players, and sponsors, we're forever grateful for your support and passion for the sport. Without you, we wouldn't be here today. To everyone who's visited Flying Cow - we're honored to have shared this journey with you! Thank you ❤️
•
We can't wait to do it all again next season!
