We pride ourselves on creating an environment where anyone and everyone can learn and be safe while having fun. We aim to understanding what each individual wants to achieve from their polo journey and find a fun way of teaching that.
We provide weekly group riding and polo sessions appropriate for anyone who wants to try polo or just get back in the saddle.
With a flexible drop in and out sign up system means flexibility for our busy lives.
Polo style riding is perfect for strengthening core, improving balance and fitness all while in the fresh air. Horses have an amazing ability to let one relax and switch off from everyday stresses. Our sessions provide a perfect option for a hour escape from the office with the added bonus of adrenaline for those keen to be more competitive.
No previous riding skills required and no age limits.
