Oxford University Polo Tasters - Michaelmas Term 2024

Come experience one of the most exciting sports Oxford has to offer! We're adding an extra MT taster session to allow you to come see what playing polo is all about. Transport to and from Oxford Polo is included in your ticket.

Taster Schedule: November 22 at 2:30 pm

• Bus Departure from Oxford: 2:00 (no late arrivals please!)
• Taster Session: 2:30pm - 4:00pm
• Arrival in Oxford: ~4:30pm

Please meet us at in front of the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford, where we'll transport you to our polo club just 20 minutes away.

During the taster, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to play polo, ride a horse, and practice hitting the ball. You'll be on the pitch for 1.5 hours, guided by one of our experienced coaches and our current club members, who will teach you how to swing the mallet, hit the ball on a wooden horse, and mount up on a polo pony to do some riding.

All necessary polo equipment, including helmets, mallets, and horses, will be provided. No riding or polo experience is required, and we welcome all levels of riders. However, we do recommend wearing hard-heeled boots and comfortable denim/leggings/jodhpurs.

Not only will you have a chance to learn the basics of polo, but you'll also have the opportunity to speak to our current Squad and Committee members, who will be available to answer any questions you have. We'll also have some champagne for a toast to conclude the session!

Please note that no refunds will be given for slots cancelled within 72 hours of the session.

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to experience the thrill of polo and horse riding with the Oxford University Polo Club!
