On this Episode of Outside The Boards, I am really excited to introduce you to player, patron and owner of Cotterel Polo Farms, Jennifer Lutterel Benardoni. Cotterel is a private polo facility and organization owned by Jenny and managed by husband Francisco located in Declo, Idaho… a polo power couple if there ever was one! They breed and train polo horses with the goal of attracting teams to have a customizable, fun, and competitive summer polo in a place they love and call home.
Cotterel has three polo fields, 160 stalls, exercise track and an onsite 25 room luxury lodge renovated from the original 2 story barn, originally used for working draft horses from the 1920’s.
Apart from the Summer seasons, Jenny also competes in medium-goal and low-goal competitive polo in both USA and Argentina.
Jenny is originally from Salt Lake City, UT and got her start in horses from her mom, Claudia Luttrell who showed Saddlebreds and Arabians while she was growing up. Jenny started showing Saddle Seat in her early teens, and while she loved it, having seen polo on tv and magazines, she really wanted to try it! She got her chance when she attended Colorado State University, a now polo powerhouse in intercollegiate polo.
From that first hit of the ball, Jenny was instantly hooked and never looked back. After graduating with a Bachelors in Equine Science, Jenny moved to Denver and joined the Denver Polo Club. In 2004 she created the Cotterel Polo Team and started traveling to play polo all year long. In 2014, she and her husband Francisco moved their polo operation to Jenny’s family ranch in Declo, Idaho.
Jennifer is one of polo’s leading women who has carved her own path in the way of breeding polo ponies and creating a unique polo experience for serious players in one of America’s most picturesque settings.

About Outside The Boards™
In 2012, Outside The Boards™ founders witnessed their first polo match and were stunned by the sport's beauty and brutality. Few sports, if any, have these combined qualities. The sport's grace, intensity and "war like" imagery creates a shock and awe viewing experience like non other. Combine this with sport's party-like atmosphere and lifestyle and you have a recipe for success.
Today, the sport has yet to experience its full potential. The industry is fragmented, riddled with politics and in-experience. Outside The Boards™ was designed to change all that and bri...
