Polo ponies’ training is key to their success on the field. Their ability to play polo depends to a large extent on their inherent speed, strength and skills acquired while tamed. How do you train a horse for polo?
- Engage in gradually increasing intervals of non-stop galloping.
- Do groundwork: mark training and running in circles around the trainer.
- Practice rapid changes of direction when riding.
- Introduce them to other horses and riders.
- Build confidence around to the ball and mallets swinging during play.
These are some of the training techniques riders practice to train their horses for polo. The worthy results show tamed horses with incredible play performance and high adaptability to any rider and intensity of the game.
