  • About

    Polo: a game that involves hitting a small ball with a long stick whilst travelling at speed on board a vehicle with a mind of its own. You'll start off 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. The polo ponies are well-schooled and there will be an instructor by your side. After your training you'll change into proper polo gear and mount your horse, and then it's time to put what you've learnt into practice as you both play an instructional chukka. After, you can stay and watch matches being played for the rest of the day. Fast-paced and skilful - polo is a great sport to play and to watch.

    • Expert instruction with plenty of time to practise your technique
    • Put your new skills into practice playing in an instructional chukka
    • After your chukka sit back and watch a pro match
