Polo is like hockey on horseback! You have to hit the ball into the goal with your polo stick. Each game is played between two teams with four players on each side. The game is divided into short, six minutes parts known as Chukkas. The more experienced you are, the more chukkas there are in a game.

It’s one of the fastest growing sports in pony club and Minchinhampton is treading new ground for us in the world of polo.

Our polo team the ‘Surtees’ made their first official outing together in May 2024 when they attended a friendly competition organised by The Beaufort at Beaufort Polo Club. If you want to find out more information on our team and how to get involved, please contact minchinhampton@pcuk.org for more information.

We look forward to hearing more from the team in the future.
