Georgina Bloomberg

Biography

Georgina Bloomberg is one of the most prominent female polo players in the United States, combining a passion for the sport with high-profile advocacy for equestrian welfare. The daughter of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Georgina has been a serious polo player since her teens, competing on the USPA circuit and using her platform to support animal welfare causes.\n\nBloomberg's entry into polo came through her broader love of horses and equestrian sport — she competed extensively in show jumping before adding polo to her repertoire. Her involvement in both disciplines gives her a well-rounded horsemanship background that informs her polo play and her understanding of equine care standards.\n\nOn the polo field, Bloomberg has competed in women's tournaments across the United States, including events at the Palm Beach Polo Club in Wellington, Florida. She has played alongside and against the leading women players on the USPA circuit, holding her own at competitive levels despite the demands of her other professional and philanthropic commitments.\n\nAs a public figure in polo, Bloomberg has helped attract media attention to the women's game in the United States, raising its visibility. Her Rider's Closet charity, which collects and redistributes used equestrian equipment to those who cannot afford it, reflects her commitment to making equestrian sport more accessible.
