History

Evans Ranch is located in Midland, Texas and is owned and operated by Bart and Nina Evans and their two sons, Robert and Gene.

As an exemplary horseman, polo pony trainer, horse breeder and outstanding polo player, Bart Evans' success came in true "by the bootstraps" manner. He loved horses all his life and at 18 years of age, tried polo at Mackie's Arena in Kansas City. Bart went on to play polo in college.

Bart became on of the best players in the country, earning an 8-goal handicap in 1976. This cowboy gentleman played a competitive brand of polo, superbly mounted on his handy, fast ponies.

Over his long and colorful career, he has won numerous major USPA events including the 1983 US Open Championship, the US Handicap C.V. Whitney Cup in 1981, '88 and '89 and the Butler Handicap in 1972, '75, '76. He won the Monty Waterbury Cup in 1985, the American Cup (formerly 16 goals), and the 1993 Silver Cup. Bart's team also won the Pacific Coast Open and the International Gold Cup.

On the international scene, Bart represented the USA in winning the 1988 Westchester Cup against Australia. In addition, Bart won two World Cup Championships.
