Mariposa you definitely should! She seemed to love it, and I met lots of other polo players and polo ponies whilst we were out! Are you anything to do with La Mariposa polo club by any chance? :)
I know there used to be the garsington equestrian centre which is about 5-10 mins from city centre? Or I think there is one in marsh baldon about 10-15 mins away, good luck!
Will do :) have emailed secretary so fingers crossed..!
And in the mean time if anyone is with the Kimblewick and fancies sharing diesel costs to meets (am based in the Wallingford area) please message me.
Thanks everyone :)

I completely agree with the Rescue Remedy - magic stuff! And even if it is all in my head I don't mind because it always does the trick!! :)
I always use it before towing and before big matches...Will find out if it works for hunting as going for the first time on Tuesday...eeek! :eek:
Definately give it a go :D
Most polo yards will give you a discount if you can get a group together.
Winter polo is also good if your nervous as it is done in an arena so there are walls around you.
Good luck! :)
I also spent ages as an 11 year old making this toy, and went into my ponies stable on xmas morning and he had somehow bashed his gums with it and there was blood all over his teeth and the swede! Didnt seem to deter him tho as he was still munching away on it when I arrived! Silly boy, I didnt...
