Arena Polo — Projected Fall 2025 Completion

Excitement is building at Stone Tree Ranch as construction on our new arena is nearly complete, paving the way for arena polo to debut in Calistoga in January 2026. The addition of this premier facility marks an important milestone in our vision to bring year-round polo opportunities to the heart of wine country.

The arena has been designed with players and horses in mind, offering a safe, state-of-the-art surface and layout that will welcome both seasoned competitors and newcomers to the sport. With its completion, Stone Tree Ranch will become the first dedicated polo club in Calistoga to offer both arena and field polo, expanding the ways our community can enjoy this dynamic and fast-paced game.

This fall, we look forward to hosting our first practices and matches, bringing friends, families, and fellow polo enthusiasts together to celebrate the start of a new tradition in Calistoga. Arena polo is coming—and it’s just the beginning of what’s ahead at Stone Tree Ranch.

Rubberized Track in Place

As part of our commitment to horse welfare and high-performance care, Stone Tree Ranch now features a state-of-the-art rubberized exercise track. Designed to provide superior footing and minimize joint stress, the track ensures safe, consistent conditioning for our horses throughout the year. This investment reflects our philosophy that exceptional polo begins with exceptional horse care.

With a wet winter in the wine country, the rubberized aspect of our track also gives us the ability to continue exercising throughout the winter season, for horses and owners, and to open up the opportunity for high performance in arena polo.

Fences Up & Pastures Ready

The ranch has been steadily taking shape, and we’re thrilled to share that the fences are up and the pastures are ready. With comfortable and secure enclosures and facilities in place, Stone Tree Ranch is now welcoming horses for boarding. It’s the next step in creating a home where horses thrive, players train, and our community of equestrians continues to grow in the heart of the Sonoma and Napa wine country.

The Beginning of Stone Tree Ranch

In 2020, amidst the rolling vineyards and timeless beauty of Calistoga, a new chapter in Napa Valley polo began with the founding of Stone Tree Ranch. Visionary horseman and polo player Vladi Rivkin saw the opportunity to create something truly unique: Calistoga’s first dedicated arena and field polo club.

Stone Tree Ranch was born not just as a ranch, but as a home for the sport of kings in the wine country. Built with a commitment to horsemanship, competition, and community, the ranch is growing as a hub where players, families, and fans of the game can gather to celebrate polo against the iconic backdrop of Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

From its earliest days, Stone Tree Ranch has stood for more than polo alone—it represents a lifestyle that bridges the elegance of equestrian tradition with the spirit of California wine country. What started as a vision in 2020 is unfolding as an active center of the sport, fellowship, and foundation for California wine country’s emerging polo culture.
