Learn to play polo from the international HPA qualified instructor Steve Thompson. Let Steve guide you through his method and explain how, no matter what your level you can gain more in your game. Polo professionals have the same anatomy as amateur players, so why can they do what they can do? Much of it is technique to create the perfect swing and work with the laws of physics to hit the ball at the optimum moment. Technique is not strength, demonstrated best by children who seem to be able to effortlessly loft the ball when learning to play. As we age we try to interfere with something that is already perfect, the pendulum of the stick. Join Steve as he de-mystifies learning polo and shows how you can improve season upon season.

Huh..you live in Dubai and play polo everyday? Wann trade lives?😆🤣😁
Fantastic!
Great video. Very helpful.
Hehe interesting Steve when you will going me to call to apple cup
wow this completely answered my question about the nearside shot! I was wondering if I had issues with hip and spine mobility/rotation, but it's because I'm not letting my right leg come off and be soft! Makes so much sense!
Glad to hear the video helped !!!!
Excellent
Wonderful, thanks mate. 💪🏽🇬🇧🇳🇿
Hi, where could I buy those mallets? The website the link was provided for in the video doesn't have any mallets at all. Please advise. Thank you. Sincerely, Nadia J.
Can you do a video on the nearside neck shot please? I find it to be the most awkward shot for me. I have to reach so much I get off balance. Thank you.

Years and years of thinking about swing technique and Steve ties it together for me beautifully. Many thanks. Can't wait to meet in person and get some extra insights in the saddle. These videos are invaluable in the relatively small niche that is polo. True gold ;)

I thought golf is hard, hitting a large golf ball on a horse and a moving ball, this is tough! lol
hey Steve! Remember me I lived in dubai for 11 years but then I moved to America. The sport here is wonderful. Thanks for teaching me
Polo ponies must be hard as fuck!
This is like golf x1000000000000million

It's interesting to see that the horse isnt bothered by all the swinging.
Very good tutorial ! Thank you
Pushball on Horseback is my speciality, an other equestrian sport with a huge ball. Watch on my Facebook page, photo album War Horse and War Dog, European Cavalry History since 1907. I use the Pushball on Horseback Game Rules of the Italian Cavalry, 1928. I've also the Russian Red Army Game Rules, 1930, in Russian. It'll be translated in English by Russian Facebook Friends. We do not have any internationally recognized game rules. I'm the Dutch Pushball on Horseback Coach and Trainer from the Netherlands, Europe. Greetings Hélène Victorine de Fremery (NL)
i like polo i'm form INDONESIA (ASIA)
What a good horse
Hello fromSingapore Polo Club Steve,.. best from your old Student
The Question should be "How to afford Polo"
you poor?
NKLOP You Rich?
armadon132 sure, rich in qualities and values
NKLOP Ahh OK and i thought you were a rich guy, who was going to tell me the secret for a daily moneyrain
armadon132 actually I am, and I have just told you what you need to reach the sort of richness you talking about
This is the same as Ralph Lauren
Dude, way to much equipment do u have like six reins? All you should need is one rein, martingale, and chest collar, or strap whatever you want to call it
It depends on the strength of the pony...He was using double reins by the way
I know that but do you think you need that many reins just to turn? you could do this so easily with a simple snaffle bit.
You need them for playing polo...I guess you could keep it simple for casual riding though since you aren't going to use all the horse power available :D CanterQueen 74
he's using a double rein, watch more videos on Polo, since it's a quick paced game the horse needs to be able to feel where the rider wants them to go quicker than in other horse sports
+CanterQueen74 First of all, Starting with "Dude"? Seriously? You need to build a relationship between you and the pony. Using that many reigns is how to forge the relationship. Then as time goes by the pony begins to adjust to you and your body. That's when the symbiotic relationship begins. He's instructing the essential guide. So DUDE, find somewhere that you can troll where calling things such as "whatever you call it" demonstrates more than your inept knowledge of the sport.
