I highly recommend lessons as Sydney Polo both for beginner and players who wish to improve their skills". Joanne Shoesmith, South Australia "After a year of riding lessons in which I had learnt to canter comfortably, I decided to come to Sydney to take a week of polo lessons. After cantering around a bit, I find that the polo ponies are very sensitve to weight shifts, and the rider has to be very aware of what he's doing on the horse. My first stick and ball session was a bit of a disaster. The wooden horse is fine, but how do you hit the ball when everything is wobbling about? Ultimately it is a matter of technique and practice. After 3 days, and many misses, I finally hit the ball while cantering! What a joy! The week at Sydney Polo provided me with a good foundation for polo. I have now been awarded a beginners' handicap in Singapore". Dominic Goh, Singapore |
