Dorset Polo Club
About this yard
Dorset Polo Club and its Dorset Polo Academy offer structured polo tuition for players of all levels from complete beginners through to competitive riders. Based near Poole in Dorset, the academy's qualified HPA instructors teach across a wide variety of horses suited to different levels, meaning no previous polo or riding experience is required to start. Beginner courses cover the fundamentals of polo technique on foot and on horseback before progressing to chukka play.
Group and private lessons are available, and the club runs a full outdoor season from late spring to September on grass pitches. Contact the club directly for current lesson pricing and availability.
