Our New Vision family grieves the loss of co-founder, retired employee and volunteer, and all-around great man Robert Schott who passed this week, reuniting with his beloved wife Doris, who passed in May. The loss of the Schotts is bittersweet as New Vision celebrates our 16th birthday: our organization would not have been “born” without them. Together, we will continue their legacy of service and kindness. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with the extended Schott family.

Helen Keller said, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

Thank you, Bob and Doris, for being a “light in the dark” for so many!

Ocala, FL) – The Summer Season for the Ocala Polo Club is in full swing with matches every Saturday through September at 6pm. Watch as two teams consisting of four players navigate a white ball across the field using horse power and wooden mallets. Players gallop up and down the field passing the ball to other teammates with the mission of scoring a goal. The match is broken up into periods called chukkers. Each chukker lasts seven minutes and in between chukkers, players can switch out their horses. Players can attempt to ride other players off of the ball or bump them out of the way, but two umpires oversee the game and issue fouls when someone does something that could endanger the other riders. In the end, the team with the most goals wins the match and celebrates on top of the podium! An announcer commentates the match, making it a great event to bring family and friends to especially if they have never been to a polo match before.
