Overview

From Rodeo to Polo chronicles the triumphant journey of the first-ever HBCU (Historically Black College or University) polo team at Morehouse College as they prepare for their USPA qualifying match. Led by a charismatic troupe of Southern cowboys hailing from Texas and Louisiana, the film captures their raw, spirited transition from passionate rodeo riders to polo-playing stars. More than a sports story, From Rodeo to Polo highlights the broader cultural legacy of Black horse riders in America. This powerful narrative about social justice, resilience and breaking boundaries offers a glimpse into a world where young Black men defy stereotypes and build community.
