BACKGROUND: Garfield County’s deep history with polo dates back to the 1890s
when Hotel Colorado founder Walter Devereux and Hervey Lyle, both championship
players, formed the Glenwood Polo and Racing Association. The Hotel Colorado, which
was completed in 1893, featured its own polo grounds for the use of the guests and
quickly gained a national reputation for hosting world-class hosting teams. The
Glenwood Springs team captured the World Championship in 1903, 1904 and 1912.
Larry MacDonald, the General Manager of Hotel Colorado, and Barry Stout, owner of
the Roaring Fork Polo Club and Stout Ranch, paid tribute to the sport’s deep roots in
the region by reviving the Rocky Mountain Polo Championship in 2004 as the
Devereux Cup.
