POLO PONIES

It is widely acknowledged within polo playing circles that the horse accounts for 75% of the game. It is therefore vital to have horses in peak condition. Brett has many years experience in the care of top level polo ponies.

Polo horses are referred to as "polo ponies". This does not mean that players are riding around on kids' ponies. Although the first modern polo mounts were true ponies of about 12 hands from India. There is no breed that has established itself as THE polo pony. Polo ponies are a type, not a breed. Many polo ponies are cross breeds, the Argentine Criollo, The Australian Stock Horse or other thoroughbred crosses. Horses can be retrained from the track. In every case training a polo pony requires many hours of effort and patience from the trainer. High goal polo ponies are extreme athletes and can command very high prices.
