LESSONS
Polo Lessons are available now until the 31st of March 2022 with our instructor Lucy Brown on Queenstown Polo ponies.
ENGLISH RIDING LESSONS
English riding is seen throughout the world and provides the basics to any riding style, including dressage, show jumping and polo. You will be taught the safety around a horse and then taught the basics to sitting in the saddle, riding at a walk, trot and eventually the canter once the rider becomes stable in the saddle.
These lessons will give you the confidence to go out on horse treks and take your riding to the next level.
45 minute lesson - $60
Students must be 10 years +
POLO RIDING LESSONS
Whether your main goal is to eventually play competitive polo or you simply have an interest in learning a new equine disciplinary, we offer polo riding lessons. Polo riding is different to English riding in that it is more relaxed and more ‘western’ in style.
Please note this does not include riding with a polo mallet.

INTRODUCTORY PRIVATE POLO LESSON
The first half of the lesson will consist of starting on the ground with a foot mallet and learning the basic hitting strokes. The player will then get to practice this on a ‘wooden’ horse. Once these basics have been understood, you will be put on a polo pony and taken out into the arena to start practicing on horseback. Lessons will be tailored to suit the capability and experience of the rider by Lucy.
Devoting her full attention to developing your riding and hitting techniques, you will feel instant achievement! We welcome students with riding experience from 10 years old and above.
An introductory polo lesson makes a great gift!
