About this yard

Guards Polo Club is based at Smith's Lawn in Windsor Great Park and is the largest polo club in Europe by membership and number of grounds. Ten polo fields are spread across Smith's Lawn, Flemish Farm and Coworth Park. The season runs April to mid-September with over 600 matches a year, played Tuesday to Sunday across all three sites. Founded in 1955 and historically tied to the Royal Family, Guards is one of the most internationally recognised polo clubs in the world. Playing membership is by recommendation from a current playing member followed by interview; social membership is open more broadly.

What to wear

Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.

Riding helmet

A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.

Footwear

Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.

Clothing

Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.

Hair & jewellery

Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.

Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
