Bostwick was a resident of Old Westbury, Long Island, Gilbertsville, New York and Aiken, South Carolina. First riding at the age of 7 his horseman roots were at the famed Aiken Preparatory School where his aunt, Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock known as the "mother of U. S. polo", taught him and many leading polo players of the era their skill. His talents attested to ultimately reaching an eight-goal rating. "Polo for the Public" was his motto at the Bostwick Field on Long Island, New York and polo for a purse was also inaugurated there. See less
