About

In a nutshell, polo is a game that involves hitting a small ball with a long stick while sitting astride a beautiful polo horse - easy! Don't worry if you don't know how to ride, the horses are very friendly and know exactly what they are doing. You'll start off by being briefed on the basic rules and theory of polo by expert instructors. Then you'll have lots of time to practice ball hitting, polo riding, hooking and riding off (and all the terminology will be explained we promise!). The polo ponies are very well-schooled and there will be an instructor by your side to help and encourage you all the way. After your theory training you'll mount your polo pony, and then it's time to put what you've learnt into practice as you play an instructional chukka or game - a mini polo match! Why not stay and watch the Club chukkas and tournaments being played for the rest of the day? You'll be amazed what you can achieve in just a single lesson, polo is a great sport both to play and to watch.
