To polo playing billionaire Tom Barrack’s Happy Canyon Vineyard for the 13th annual Santa Ynez Valley Polo Classic benefitting local charity People Helping People with 300 guests helping raise more than $25,000.

The energized equestrian bash, co-chaired by T.J. Barrack and Sean and Jodi Pitts, consisted of two matches – female and male – and there was also a hat contest for the millinery mavens.

Between games guests dined on a barbecued lunch of chicken, tri-tip, and sweet corn accompanied by Happy Canyon wines.

The event was as hot as the temperatures with the thermometer well into the 90s….
