Zoe has been playing polo since high school and has been selected regularly in NZ teams since then playing against Australia, USA and South Africa. In 2024 she was part of the team winning the Saville Cup, which is NZ’s oldest team trophy, and in 2023 she was part of the Young NZ team winning the Buck Master Trophy against Young England. In addition to her success on the playing field she has also won Best Playing Pony in some of the biggest national competitions. Zoe is currently one of the highest ranked NZ players, has a secured a spot playing in the UK season and is well on the road to becoming one of NZ’s best polo players. Zoe’s grant goes toward the cost of travelling to England as part of the Young NZ team to defend the Buck Master Trophy against Young England.
