Greg Holditch
Andres Camacho Castilla (2)
Greg Holditch first learned to ride horses at 33 on the encouragement of his wife Katy, who is a lifelong horse girl. Throughout the years, he has mounted up with western riding groups, such as the White Mountain Range Riders and the Verde Vaqueros. As a father of 3, he supported the 4-H horse program by trailering horses and kids to gymkhanas and shows. Once empty nested, a friend invited him to learn to play polo which got him on his first English saddle at the age of 57. Picking up the sport has brought he and Katy into enjoyable collaborations, friendships and travel experiences with so many fellow polo riders. Recently, Greg played for the second time, in the Scottsdale Polo Party. For more laid-back riding, Greg trail rides with his family and friends at their ranch near Sonoita, Arizona. As an Army brat, Greg was raised in many places including Germany and New Mexico. He holds a B.A. in Finance from the University of New Mexico and is currently retired from a 32 year career as a financial advisor. Greg and his wife reside in an equestrian community in Tempe, Arizona with a dog, five horses and flock of chickens of which he loses count.
