Whether you are a complete beginner stepping onto a farm for the first time or an experienced rider seeking a new thrill, this immersive two-hour polo initiation offers an authentic and accessible introduction to the "Sport of Kings." Your journey begins with a relaxed hour on the ground, where an official instructor introduces you to the rules of polo, fits your protective helmet, and teaches you the art of wielding the mallet.

Next, you will take to the saddle aboard gentle, expertly trained polo ponies selected specifically for their calm nature and suitability for all skill levels. Under step-by-step guidance, you will build immediate confidence in the saddle, learn to guide your horse while striking the ball on the move, and conclude with a friendly, low-pressure game simulation.

Conducted in an intimate group setting capped at nine riders, this experience provides all necessary equipment for an unforgettable, hands-on taste of French equestrian culture.
