CHECKLIST FOR BEGINNERS

 www.argentinapolo.com

 

Polo for beginners can be a little complicated, so we have assembled a list of things that you need and things that you can get later. For your first lesson, you will probably borrow a stick, helmet, maybe even boots. If you like polo, you will then want to get your own gear. You should not buy a polo horse until you know a little bit about polo, but when you do get a horse, then you will want to get the polo tack for the horse too. Here is a list of items you will need in the order that you may need them. If you have any questions, please ask us and we will advise you. We also have a brief introduction to polo for beginners -- POLO RED BOOK
