Does any one know where i can get a good book on polo? I have tried Amazon and BHS bookshop.

I have got the bug for this now - Matt bought me a lesson for Christmas which i had on saturday and it was great fun and now want to learn more as I am suriously considering taking up properly.

Thanks

Where did you go for that, i have always wanted to have a go, just never had the money, was it good fun

It was held at Ascot Park Polo Club but it was organised through Red letter Days. It was really good fun :D but I know it was quite expensive but was good value for money i believe.

There was only three in the group so we got lots on individual attention. We spent about 1/2hr standing on creates learning the swings and practicing hitting the ball. Then we had about half hour theory learing the rules and tatics. We had about 20mins learning how to ride a polo pony and then 20 minutes hitting the ball on the pony. We finished off playing two instructional chukkas which were really good fun if a little tiring.

I would love to have another go I don't think i have smiled that much since we got Bailey! :D :D :D

A friend of mine commentates at Polo matches so we get to go along to most of them for free.

It's great fun, if a little scary watching all these huge horses pounding up and down.

Huge Horses?????? Naww, they're polo ponies....if you want to see huge horses then come & meet my Cleveland Thug, oops, that should read Cleveland bay!

They're huge when you're sat on the grass and they're thundering towards you :D :D :D
