What is Intro to Polo?

Our Introduction to Polo Class is a group lesson designed to teach you the basics! It’s an hour and half lesson to introduce polo to anyone interested in giving it a shot. This is a fun way to learn something new with your friends! If you get hooked, you can reserve a spot in the academy for the following week.

The cost is $150.00 per person for the introduction lesson and includes everything you need.  Spaces are limited and filling up quickly.  Private lessons are also available with one of our professional players.  Complete the contact form below to sign up or for more information.

You will get on a horse, learn proper mallet position, and have the ability to “swing away,” all while be safely guided by a professional polo player and seasoned polo pony. You will even get to play your first game in your first lesson!!! This is a great way for you to experience polo in a safe and controlled atmosphere.  A fully tacked horse will be provided as well as mallets.  Just bring your boots and riding helmet.
