ROR Clinic - The retraining process from racing to polo 

Rugby Polo Club, Warwickshire - 23rd March 2010

HPA accredited coach David Morley will demonstrate the process of retraining a racehorse to play polo - from leaving the training yard to playing chukkas. This will be followed by veterinary and horse nutrition advice and in the afternoon the workshop will also offer the opportunity for you to bring your ex-racehorses for coaching and problem solving.

The cost is £25.
