    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 didn't take it as nasty :) thanks for all of your advice, i think the upcoming meets are too far to hack so I might speak to the secretary re: lift sharing, I just really want to go again and see if my little madam will be as well behaved on our 2nd trip!! ;-)

    Oh I see! :) Well fingers crossed she will be OK! Today she didnt want to overtake anyone, just keep up with a pack...maybe that is what she is comfortable with aka polo style! I was so proud of her today though :) Are there rules about how many times you can go out without subscribing...

    Learning Polo

    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! :)
