How to Prepare
While you need to be reasonably fit to be able to ride on horseback, polo is a sport where the horse is the one actually carrying your weight. Average fitness is all that is required to be able to enjoy the thrill and excitement of this primeval sport. While there is an element of risk in any adventure sport, all the rules in polo are geared towards ensuring the safety of players and ponies. Safety is the keyword in polo classes and the instructors ensure that you get the 'hang' of the game in a safe and secure environment. Programmes are designed to cater to all levels of skill and experience in the game. Even if you are a complete novice at polo, the package ensures that you learn all the nuances of the sport in the shortest possible time.
