Polo Training

It is the intent of The Pony Club and HPA that all players will engage with training at Branch, Area and National level to improve their game and their standards of horsemastership and pony welfare.

It is recommended that players 12 years and above should have passed their C Test. Players in LOR, LED and REN as well as Junior HPA sections must have passed their HPA Rules Test.

A training event includes the following activities:

  • PC Branch instruction, including working rallies.
  • PC polo rallies.
  • PC/HPA courses organised at Branch, Area or National level.
  • PC/HPA overseas training.
  • PC/HPA lectures on horse management.
  • PC/HPA veterinary talk.
  • HPA Developement Courses.

 

Details of training courses will be posted here.

The Pony Club Polo Handbook sets out the curriculum for all training events which include Branch based working rallies, polo rallies, Area/regional courses, overseas training, development courses and dismounted lectures on horse management.
