The Knox polo fields were once well known, with the Aurora polo team competing both nationally and internationally and hosting tournaments at what is now Knox Farm State Park from the 1930s to the 1980s. Now, the Friends of Knox Farm State Park are attempting to revive East Aurora’s polo legacy with the first Knox Memorial Cup, which will be held at the Chur Equestrian Center on Saturday, July 19.

“We’d like to keep the history of polo alive at the former Knox estate for years to come,” said Elizabeth Wallace, a member of the Friends of Knox Farm polo committee.

The event, which is sponsored by the Western Chapter of the New York State Horse Council, will begin at 1 p.m. with an exhibition match by the Western New York Collegiate Girls Squad. This three-on-three match will consist of two chukkers, or 7.5-minute periods, and is designed to introduce the sport to attendees.

Following the exhibition game, two United States Polo Association teams of four players each will face off in a four-chukker match (slightly shorter than a regulation match, which has six chukkers).

Both matches are free to watch, and members of the public are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy as they observe the games.

Halfway through the main match, in a long-standing polo tradition, the crowd will be invited to stomp the divots in the grass to help smooth the field.

“It’ll be a very well-rounded polo event,” John Hatcher, a former polo player and chairman of the polo committee, said. “I’m looking forward to a safe match, an exciting match and a match that resonates both with the general public, with our sponsors and with people coming to the VIP lunch.”

Hatcher is interested in reestablishing a USPA polo club in East Aurora and the local polo legacy.

“There’s a deep, rich history,” Hatcher said. “Seymour Knox II got into the polo, and then he brought his sons along, Norty and Seymour, and they got into it. Later Norty was captain of the US Polo Team from ’65 to ’68, and his brother Seymour III played in a number of tournaments.”

The polo committee hopes that the Knox Memorial Cup will become an annual event.

“We really want to draw people in, make it accessible. We want to involve the public,” Wallace said.

East Aurora Mayor Allan Kasprzak and Jean Knox will toss the first ball of the matches.

At 11 a.m., there will be a champagne brunch reception near the field, catered by The Roycroft Inn. Reception guests will enjoy VIP seating for the matches, and the reception will also feature a local Dixieland band, an art show and other entertainment. A limited number of tickets were available through July 11 for $75 per person for the reception.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Mikey’s Way Foundation, which connects hospitalized children with their communities through technology, and to the Friends of Knox Farm, for the group’s ongoing efforts to restore the stables and other buildings.

Parking is available near the field for reception attendees or for any handicapped guests and can be accessed by Gypsy Lane or Knox Road. General admission parking is accessible on Knox Road via Grey Street for a $10 charge or for free at Parkdale Elementary School, which is a 15-minute walk from the field. Knox Road will be closed from Gypsy Lane to the soccer fields prior to the event.

Hatcher and the polo committee have high hopes that the Knox Memorial Cup will prove to be “a positive event for East Aurora, for the Knox Farm and for polo.”

Polo is played on horseback on a field 300 yards long and 160 yards wide—the area of about nine football fields.

In outdoor polo, played on horseback on a grassy field, a standard team has four players. The players use long mallets to hit the ball down the field and through the goalposts. The ball is made of plastic or wood and is 3.5 inches in diameter, about the size of a croquet ball.

A game consists of four to eight periods called chukkas or chukkers. At the seven-minute mark, a horn sounds to alert the players, and the game continues for 30 seconds more or until there is a break in play. Players typically switch ponies in the 3-minute interval between chukkers and during the halftime break; the horses may play up to two non-consecutive chukkers in a match.

The most basic rule of the game, according to the United States Polo Association, is the “line of the ball,” which is an invisible line extending along the trajectory of the moving ball that governs how players can intercept the ball. In general, the player that hit the ball has right-of-way when riding after it.

The term “ponies” is merely traditional, and polo ponies are full-sized horses, often thoroughbreds or thoroughbred crosses.

The Knox Memorial Cup will feature a 3-on-3, two-chukker exhibition match, followed by a 4-on-4 match with four chukkers, played by United States Polo Association players.

Soft keyboards ( updated)
The keys fell off very easily after only 2.5 months of use. It is a nice and smooth keyboard. I like it, but it didn't last even 3 months. I am trying to get it repaired by them since it was so recent that I got it- I will update this review later once I hear from the manufacturer. This is an update to my original post. I am extremely impressed with the quality of customer service and how fast they addressed my concerns regarding the product and they honestly back up their product. Not only did they respond fast, but they also replace my keyboard. Not just fix it, replaced the whole thing and it is also backed by their manufacturer warranty. I’m so happy and love that I get to have my keyboard back to use for hopefully a lot longer this time. It truly is a comfort keyboard and I love how smooth the keys feel when typing for long periods of time. Thanks guys for the prompt response! Today 3/27/2026 I received my brand new keyboard to replaced the one with the broken keys and I’m so happy to it back again and fully working thanks guys for the great customer service. Truly appreciate it.

Great keyboard at the right price
I bought this to replace my old Logi Ergo K860. I like the idea of curved keyboard. But the distance between my left and right hands on Ergo K860 was bothering me ever since I bought it 5 years ago. I would say I never got used to it. The Ergo started to act up one day with one key F not working properly. I tried to fix it and considered getting another one, then I saw this keyboard with a much better price. So I took the chance and went with this cheaper option. I like this one better than Ergo for the following reason: 1. The layout is more comfortable. Yes, it took me a while to get used to it like I would with any keyboard. I don't have to twist my wrists to reach any keys. 2. Keys are not too loud. It's not going to silent, but better than Ergo. 3. Battery life is great. I make a living by typing my keyboard. I only charged this keyboard once so far (4 months). 4. The price is great for what I got.

Good keyboard, some auxiliary keys are moved from where I was used to
I've only been using this for a day, so I can't speak about battery life. It is rechargeable, and it has an on-off switch for saving the battery when I'm not using it, so I don't know what more I could ask for on that front. Likes: the main keyboard is definitely ergonomic and feels comfortable; the key action is not silent, which I actually like, and the scissor action switches underneath the keys feels good to me; the keyboard is about 1.5" narrower than my previous keyboard (Logitech Ergo K860) because the number pad is right next to the regular part of the keyboard, and the usual keys in between have been rearranged. Most of these changes will just require the user to get used to the new positions. However, the Home, End, Pgup and Pgdn keys are now Function keys, piggybacking on the arrow keys, and that may cause more trouble for people who use those a lot (I don't, so I don't mind it). Dislikes: experience has shown me that dust and crud get into the space between the wrist pad and the rest of the keyboard. On my old keyboard, I could remove the wrist pad using some tiny screws in the back, and take the pad out for thorough cleaning. With this keyboard I won't be able to do that, so time will tell how aggravating that will be. Maybe I'll have to take it down to my shop and blow out the crud with the air compressor (joking, probably not a good idea). Overall, not quite 5 stars, but close. If it lasts better than the Logitech, I may come back and put in that last star. Update: It has lasted about 20 months, and I'm going to have to replace it. I may buy another one, 20 months is pretty good for the amount of use I have gotten out of it, but I'm going to search to see if anything new and better is around. Symptoms seem to indicate that the rechargeable battery is not taking a charge any more. The keyboard works find when it is plugged in, but when I unplug it, after a few minutes it goes wacky.

Arrived Battery DOA - But then something unexpected happened.
This was a one star review because the unit arrived with a batter that would not hold charge for more than a minute. I am not changing the stars, because if you are like me, you read the one star reviews cause so many companies pay for fake 4 and 5 star reviews. When I first posted this review I also initiated a return and just planned to move on to another brand. I was surprised when I got a personal email from the Arctek Service Team offering to send me a replacement free of charge. With nothing to lose I figured why not? The new unit arrived and I put a full charge on it and put it to work. I chose this keyboard because it is the closest in layout to the original Microsoft ergo split keyboard, no longer in production, that I have used for years and truly enjoy. I am pleased to report that the battery is working fine and the keyboard performs flawlessly. No skipped strokes or stuck keys, no glitches with the proprietary wireless interface to the laptop (when I am using it on the desk with a large screen). My hat is off to the Arctek service team and management. A company that cares enough about its reputation and customers to go to so much effort to take care of a customer with such a small dollar item sale is a company you can expect to rely on. From now on when I want electronic gear on Amazon, I am going to use the word Arctek in my search.

Incredible
1 year update: I have been using this keyboard daily at work for almost one year and my 5 star review stands. Upon receiving the keyboard I charged it before use, and since then I have not charged it at all and it is still somehow at 75% battery!! I turn it off at night when I’m done. One of the function keys broke off in a way where I can’t reattach it, but I reached out to customer support and they sent me a free replacement keyboard. Great customer service and warranty! Original review: I love this keyboard. I am a grant writer so I write and edit all day. It has really leveled up my typing experience and has made work much more comfortable. It puts my hands in a natural position so my wrists no longer bend at odd angles. I adapted to the split key design in minutes. The keys have an excellent feel and sound to them and the wrist pad feels like a soft cloud. I’ve had no connectivity issues and so far the battery has been stellar. It also has rubber grippers on the bottom so it stays firmly in place on my desk and doesn’t move around like my old keyboard did. I went for this one because I didn’t want to spend $100+ on a keyboard and I’m really impressed with the quality.
