Learn to play
Do you want a new and exciting experience? Why not try a sport that offers all of the speed and skill of a hockey game, combined with the thrill of riding a horse. Polo has often been called “hockey on horseback”, and not only is it one of the most glamorous sports, but also one of the most challenging and exhilarating team sports around. Learning to play is not as difficult as you may think. To find out more please click on learn to play.

Public are welcome to come out and support these great causes, and can either “tailgate” or buy a reserved table or corporate tent.
