We had a great experience. For $39.50 this was well worth the exposure to experienced polo players and the sport. My daughter is a good intermediate rider and wanted to see if she would like polo. This group was so welcoming, kind and laid back. My daughter had a great time just watching and listening to them explain what was happening. Her time on the horse was just right. The average riding lesson in my experience is $75-$100 for 30/60 minutes. This gave my daughter 15/20 minutes on the horse to get the feel and as much time as we wanted to watch and talk with people. Well worth the price. Thank you so much!

    Owned by 50-year polo veteran Peter Poor, Stage Hill Polo helps visitors hone the fine art of steed steering by providing instruction in a safe, scenic setting. Students begin with a primer on the rules of the game before getting acquainted with fundamental skills such as guiding ponies toward the goal post and challenging outlaws to mallet-and-ball showdowns at high noon. Once students are familiar with the basics of horse croquet, they will engage in a safe, low-intensity scrimmage in a small paddock, where they can practice hitting from atop their horses and gain an understanding of fundamental strategic concepts. No experience is required to participate, and the school provides helmets so that riders don't have to tape thousands of cotton balls to their heads.
