Discover a passion for the game of polo through one-on-one or group lessons at Val de Vie Estate. From first-time riders spending time on the steel horse to practice their swing, to seasoned players refining their skills, all levels of experience are welcome.
International polo professional Kevin Rixon leads each lesson, and all equipment is provided by the Stella Artois Val de Vie Polo Club. The first hour-long lesson is vital, as it allows Kevin to gauge your level of experience on a horse. The session begins with 30 minutes on a steel horse, where you’ll practice hitting the ball and develop your swing. The second half of the lesson takes place on horseback. If you’re trying polo for the first time, Kevin will guide you through walking exercises on the horse while you focus on hitting the ball, ensuring a safe and enjoyable introduction to the sport.
