On this Episode of Outside The Boards, I am thrilled to welcome awarding winning breeder, Beth Skolnik. Beth Skolnik, a key figure in polo breeding, has spent over 30 years shaping the success of Isinya Horse Development Corporation. Raised in Los Angeles, Skolnik's polo journey began at Will Rogers Polo Club, and her passion for green horses led her to work for Kerry Packer in Australia. In 1992, she joined forces with Owen Rinehart to establish Isinya HDC in Aiken, South Carolina, dedicated to Thoroughbred polo breeding.
-sinya HDC, named "a place of sand" in Maasai, focuses on breeding specifically for polo, a patient process championed by Skolnik. The facility's reputation among high-goal players and teams like Valiente attests to its commitment to excellence. Recognized as the 'Best Breeder of the Year' in 2009, Isinya's motto—breed to the best and expect the best—reflects their dedication to producing top-tier polo ponies.
Skolnik emphasizes breeding 100% for polo, ensuring the horses understand the nuances of the game. Isinya offers various breeding options, including shipped semen and embryo transfer, catering to the needs of high-goal players. Skolnik's hands-on approach includes early human contact for foals, fostering comfort and affection, setting a foundation for successful training.
Beyond high-goal tournaments, Isinya caters to low-goal owners, encouraging responsible breeding to pass exceptional traits to the next generation. Skolnik's expertise extends to stallion selection, emphasizing the importance of seeking opinions from those who have bred to a particular stallion. Isinya HDC, blending Argentine and American bloodlines, has produced notable champions, showcasing Skolnik's dedication to excellence in polo breeding.
Beth Skolnik's enduring commitment to patience, expertise, and a deep understanding of polo breeding has established Isinya HDC as a standard-bearer in the competitive world of polo.

About Outside The Boards™
