On this Episode of Outside the Boards, I am excited to introduce you to one of women’s best and rising polo stars, Isabella “Issy” Wolf. From Middleburg, Virginia, Issy is a seasoned professional polo player, has traversed the globe, yet the allure of her hometown remains unparalleled. Raised in Middleburg and a graduate of the University of Virginia, Issy, now 33, is deeply connected to the town's equestrian culture and tight-knit community.
Issy's equestrian roots trace back to her parents, retired orthopedic surgeon Bill Wolf and Francesca Spano, who introduced her to horses as a toddler. Her introduction to polo began at the young age of nine after hopes of becoming a jockey fell through because of her height. Her talent continued on into college as she played a crucial role in her school's two-time national collegiate championship-winning polo team.
Beyond her exploits on the polo field, Issy boasts a multi-faceted career. A real estate agent at Thomas & Talbot Estate Properties, she seamlessly blends her passion for horses with property dealings. Her adeptness extends to managing social media for local businesses, fostering connections between the equestrian and real estate realms.
Middleburg’s charm, with its preserved small-town character and flourishing local businesses, captivates Issy. Every visit to a local coffee shop becomes a reunion, showcasing the enduring warmth of the community where she grew up.
Issy's commitment to community service shines through her support for The Middleburg Humane Foundation, the Windy Hill Foundation, and the Piedmont Environmental Council. Beyond financial contributions, she urges others to donate or volunteer, contributing to the preservation of the community's rich tapestry. As Issy continues to shine in both the equestrian and real estate arenas, her heart remains firmly grounded in the enchanting landscapes of her hometown and the sport of polo.

About Outside The Boards™
In 2012, Outside The Boards™ founders witnessed their first polo match and were stunned by the sport's beauty and brutality. Few sports, if any, have these combined qualities. The sport's grace, intensity and "war like" imagery creates a shock and awe viewing experience like non other. Combine this with sport's party-like atmosphere and lifestyle and you have a recipe for success.
Today, the sport has yet to experience its full potential. The industry is fragmented, riddled with politics and in-experience. Outside The Boards™ was designed to change all that and bri...
