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. Pony Club Polo has four objectives:
- Help young players to understand the basic principles of polo: rules, riding, tactics, striking the ball and the care and welfare of ponies.
- Set high standards of conduct with a competitive spirit in a team sport.
- Provide a bridge to the adult game.
- Have fun.
Jorrocks and Handley Cross are played on general pony club ponies that must attend non polo rallies. In all other sections polo ponies can be used. Jorrocks teams must take part in one qualifying tournament to be able to play at the Jorrocks Championships in August which are held at Hurtwood Park. All other age groups must go to three qualifying tournaments to be able to go to the Senior Championships at Cowdray Park.
