Jennifer Lutterel: Cotterel Polo Farm

Send us a text


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.
