Tonnes of places! There's the Toronto Polo Club, or Cedar Valley Polo Club, which is just 1/2 hr north of Toronto.

Buy white Levis or Dickey jeans-$30
Go to eBay and get boot there.
Unless you are more worried about looks then buy the most expensive.

Marco,

I have a pair of one year old Argentinian made polo boats size 10. If your interested I am close to Yale.

Tom

Thank you so much Ann and Tom!
Tom, I am size 11, but thanks a lot anyway!!
Cheers,
Marco

Cynthia! You're in luck! There's the London Polo Club! The club I work for, Cedar Valley Polo Club, is located in Mount Albert, however we go down to London a fair bit as we have quite a few members who live down there. CVPC also has a field that was in the process of being made early summer last year, and I believe it will be up and playing on this summer if I'm not mistaken.

We actually play there June 12-15, this year, for our Ontario Polo Tour; which field we play on (the one closer to london, or the address I've given down below), I'm not sure on though.

Their website doesn't seem to be working, but here's some contact info for you.
London Polo Club; Wayne F. Venhuizen, 12804 Nine Mile Road, RR #1, Ilderton ON, N0M 20A Tele:519-666-3888.

You tend to find Argentine Thoroughbreds, or ex-race horses dominating the fields out here, although I've seen Morgans being played, we tried to convert a warmblood until he dumped me and broke my collar bone, I knew an Anglo Arab, an arab pony... pretty much any breed can play but like any horse-sport, they have to have the personality for it.

Hope that helps! :)

Thanks somuch for the information. I wil definitely look into it.

I used to be a hunter/jumper, until polo consumed my desire, and let me tell you... polo equitation is nothing like English's. However, being a good rider with a solid seat really does help.

The hardest thing for me to remember was to learn to have almost no contact on a polo ponies' mouth. My boss let me learn that the hard way by letting me ride some of his awesome ponies, and almost having them dump me because I was too much on their mouths, lol. The only time you have contact, for some, is to slow 'em down, or to stop.

OOH! Roll backs are sooo much fun too.

It is the most fun you can have on horseback IMHO!

It totally is!

Good luck in your search for a place :) Again, I don't know any place personally, but once you find one you'll find out how addicting this sport is :)

go tot he USPA website (Visit Link) and click on "plo clubs" and then "club finder" Look for a local club and ask the contact person - they will be happy to guide you. There are subgroups within the USPA dedicated to training. Our club in NH is a polo school - a great place to get started that doesn't break the bank. Good luck and be careful as it is highly addicting!

Or go to PoloZone.com/mb and make an inquiry there about clubs near your area. I would recommend starting in the arena and taking the lesson on their horse. So much easier to learn on a horse that knows the game.

where are you from?

I live in the Northwest and play at several clubs there.
