Learn how to play Polo at Gleneagles
Introduction to Polo
A fantastic opportunity to learn the basic skills of this sport of kings, with no requirement for any previous equestrian experience.
Thom Bell, 4 handicapper and Scottish Polo team member, will introduce you to the sport of Polo. Capable of dealing with all levels of experience, Thom will ensure that, in no time at all, you are hitting the ball with the speed and accuracy required to score the winning goal. Beginning on the back of a wooden horse you will develop the skill of working with the stick, eye to ball co-ordination and posture. Then, astride one of Thom’s well trained polo ponies, you will put your training into practise before finishing with a short game to determine who the polo champions are.
