If you have some riding experience and always wanted to try to play Polo, this is the day to make that happen.
Octavia Campbell-Davys (UK, HPA qualified umpire) and Leonardo Federico Rossolini (Arg, FIP professional polo player) are holding a clinic to give you a solid foundation for riding safely, preparing your horse and understanding the basics of the game. After this you should feel confident enough to join our club chukkas.
