We are so exited to be offering FREE drop in arena polo for the last 2 weeks of April that we couldn't resist sharing some of our favorite arena polo incentives:

1.If you've ever dreamed of being a polo player, but don't have a trust fund or a string of thoroughbreds, arena polo is the perfect solution. It's like regular polo, but without the big hats and country clubs.

2. Even if you're a total beginner, you can pretend you're a pro and impress your friends with your newfound polo skills. We will even teach you how to throw in a few fancy words like "chukka" and "mallet" for added effect.

4.Your horse will thank you for mixing things up and giving them a new challenge. Plus, they might even enjoy the thrill of chasing a ball around and pretending they're a polo superstar (looking at you Bubbles the Fijord).

5. Arena polo is accessible to riders of all levels, so you don't have to be an expert to try it out. As long as you know how to stay on your horse (and if not, well, we have some nice soft sand for you to land on), you can play polo.

6.Finally, arena polo is just plain fun. It's like a cross between horseback riding and bumper cars, with the added bonus of getting to hit a ball with a big stick.

Whether you're a dressage diva, a barrel racing bandit, or an eventing enthusiast, arena polo is the the perfect (unbiased of course) sport for people from any and all disciplines.

Join us every Tuesday evening at 7:15 at Harmony Equestrian and experience the thrill of arena polo for yourself. Your horse will thank you, and you'll have a blast!
