Polo and Polocrosse
Polocrosse, also known as PoloX is the 'King of the one horse sport' and is Uncle Pete's passion.
Not only is it a fast, team, ball game, but as only one horse is needed, alot is about the horse.
The looking after it, preparing its fitness and schooling is mainly all done by its player.
As horse sports go, it is relatively inexpensive!
The players, friends and families with, of course, the horses, all turn up on a Friday.
They all camp together, with all age groups and abilities.
Everything is very socialable and there is always help and advice available.
With Saturdays & Sundays playing, a good weekend is had by all!
A bit on polo:
Polo is a great game played by teams of 4. I've been involved with polo for over 36 years so where do I start ?
Well even at the lowest level you would need 2 ponies to play !
This all leads to it not being the cheapest horse sport (Sport of Princes) can be very expensive.
However all can be explored on the Hurlingham Polo Association website
