Excited! Going to play with polo ponies!

[tankgirl1]

A friend and I are booked to go to a polo yard for an hours lesson!

I've never been around polo ponies before, but the closer it gets and the more I look at vids the more excited I get

Oh my god polo is THE BEST! I do it at uni and it's such great fun if you like going fast and lots of excitement! It's not Offchurch Bury you're booked at by any chance is it? Long shot but that's a great yard/club with lovely people and ponies!

My horse is on livery at a polo yard and they've all just come in after a winter living out on the ground they're mad - everything makes them spook but to ride they're soo responsive! I'm sure they'll tell you this but really ride with your body, don't rely on the reins (pulling back often makes the ones i know go ten times faster!)
You'll have so much fun!

I did two seasons grooming for a polo syndicate - it was probably the best fun I have ever had The owners were an absolute scream, the ponies a joy to work with and my God, I am bloody good at bandaging - LOL

Have fun - I have no doubt you will have a brilliant day, make sure you come back and tell us how it went

I will indeed report back! Just hope I can handle riding one!

My husband bought me a course of polo lessons for Christmas one year - had an amazing time! The one I rode was so responsive and comfy! You'll have a fab time!
The thing I found most difficult was hitting the blinking ball! I was officially rubbish!
