Ivor Godfrey Balding (23 May 1908 – 20 January 2005) was a British champion polo player, thoroughbred farm manager and racehorse trainer.[1]
Ivor G. Balding, one of three British brothers who gained international fame as polo stars in the 1930s, when the sport attracted large crowds and wide press coverage, died on Thursday at his home in Camden, S.C. He was 96. ... Mr. Balding, along with his brothers Barney and Gerald, played polo in the United States throughout the 1920s and 1930s, mostly at the famed Meadow Brook Club in Westbury on Long Island, then the national center of the sport.
