As someone who’s spent years in the saddle—riding, training, and working with horses—I’m no stranger to the equestrian world. But recently, I took a leap into something entirely new: polo! I had the incredible opportunity to train with Wrightway Polo at the stunning Rancho Polo in Thermal, CA, and let me tell you, this sport is every bit as thrilling, challenging, and fast-paced as it appears on TV!
Whether you're a seasoned rider or someone passionate about equestrian sports, polo offers a new level of excitement. It’s a game of speed, strategy, and coordination that’s hard to beat.
At Wrightway Polo, the instruction is top-tier, and the atmosphere is perfect for learning. As someone used to the world of hunter/jumper horses, I was amazed at the difference between these horses and the agile polo ponies. These ponies are built for speed and agility, making them perfect for the quick maneuvers required on the field.
● The Polo Ponies: Unlike traditional sport horses, polo ponies are extremely responsive, fast, and highly trained to turn on a dime. Their athleticism is essential to the fast-paced nature of the game.
● The Game: Polo isn’t just about riding; it’s about balance, precision, and teamwork. Riding one-handed while managing a mallet with the other requires total focus and coordination.
● Teamwork & Strategy: Polo is a highly strategic sport. It’s all about reading the game, positioning yourself well, and anticipating your teammates’ moves.
Polo deepened my understanding of the importance of finding the right property setup for various equestrian disciplines. Whether you're interested in polo, show jumping, or dressage, the right property can make all the difference. If you're in the market for:
● A custom barn for polo ponies
● A private estate with expansive land for training and events
● A full equestrian facility with ample space for an arena and polo fields
Look no further than the incredible equestrian properties available in Tassajara Valley, Danville, Pleasanton, and San Ramon. These areas are ideal for riders of all disciplines, including those interested in polo!
As an experienced equestrian real estate expert, I’d be happy to help you find the perfect home or facility tailored to your needs.
If polo has always intrigued you, I highly recommend Wrightway Polo for an amazing introduction to the sport. And if you’re on the hunt for a property to house and train your own polo ponies, I’m here to help you find the perfect match.
