Polo
Polo is like hockey on horseback – you hit the ball into the goal with your polo stick.
There are six sections based on age groups: Jorrocks (JOR), Handley Cross (HX), Surtees (SUR), Loriner (LOR), Ledner (LED) and Rendell (REN); and three Sections of Junior HPA polo based on age and handicap: Hipwood (HIP), Langford (LAN) and Gannon (GAN).
Pony Club Polo is founded upon the principle of one player, one pony, making it more accessible. It is possible to play polo starting at 6 years old and finishing at 21 with only one pony.

An amazing discipline for an all-round athlete and equestrian.

Mounted Games
It has been a while since we offered Mounted Games in branch but it is such great fun and leads to agility with your pony. Fast and furious and a superb team sport. If you are interested in running this discipline please get in contact with Cathryn on hhponyclub.sec@gmail.com (at time of press good news could be around the corner with one of our parents keen to take on this discipline).
Endurance
Not been offered by the Branch for a few years but a fantastic way to keep your horse fit and wonderful way to see amazing countryside across the UK. In the past the HH has been highly successful at this discipline – picture shows our past member Archie who competed at National level.
Tests and Badges
We are committed to offering training through badges and the Pony Club testing within the Branch. We have a few members who have achieved their A test and now teach. Currently we have a high proportion of our older members achieving and aiming for their B test.
Rallies are held regularly at Broadlands RDA , one of our branch nominated Charities.
