Introduction to Polo
2-day midweek breaks
This 2-day midweek break is aimed at the rider who has always fancied 'having a go' at polo and provides a fun introduction to the game, against the spectacular backdrop of 100 acres of Berkshire countryside. No prior knowledge of polo or riding is necessary, you don't need to be an experienced rider (beginners are welcome) or have an eye for a ball, you just need a sense of humour and a desire to give polo a try.Our courses take place at the Paley Street Polo Club, near Windsor in Berkshire. The two day course includes full instruction on how to ride a polo pony, how to swing a mallet and hit the ball and finishes with a 'fun' chukka or two! The ponies used are specifically selected for their quiet manner and the instructors are of the highest standard.
