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. Sound insane? It's time to find out for yourself, even if you're not a royal or a snake-hipped Argentinian. And even if you don't know how to ride. You'll start off being briefed on the basic rules and theory of polo by expert instructors, including ball hitting, polo riding, hooking and riding off (don't worry, all the terminology will be explained). Then you'll mount a mechanical horse to learn the basic polo swings. Next you'll mount a polo pony (a real one this time) to improve your skills and take part in a 'stick and ball' session. After a buffet lunch there's a video on game tactics, more stick and ball sessions and finally, instructional chukkas so you can put all your new skills into practice. Fast-paced and skilful, polo is an exciting, challenging sport (even without an HRH).

Location:

Chobham, Surrey
