Windsor Holden White


Windsor Holden White was an American polo player.

His father was Windsor T. White of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. As such, he was a scion of the prominent White family of Ohio.

In 1941, he competed in the U.S. Open Polo Championship as part of the Westbury team, together with Gerald Dempsey, Earle Hopping and Stewart Iglehart. However, they lost to the Gulfstream team (John H. H. Phipps, Michael Grace Phipps, Charles Skiddy von Stade and Alan L. Corey, Jr.).

After he moved to England, he became a patron of the Polo Cottage team.

The Holden White Qualifying Matches at the Guards Polo Club are named in his honour. Moreover, the Holden White Cup at the Cowdray Park Polo Club at Cowdray Park, West Sussex is also named for him.

He married Jean Kathleen Mary Fielding, daughter of Sir Charles William Fielding and Florence Dixon, on 12 July 1944. They resided at Polo Cottage in Midhurst, West Sussex, England. He died in 1976.
