Learn to Play Polo in Hawaii
Hawaii Polo Club has hosted polo on the North Shore since 1963, and our lessons put you on the same field with the same ponies. In one hour you’ll learn how to ride a polo pony, hold the mallet, and hit the ball, guided by our team every step of the way.
Our ponies are working polo horses. They know the game better than anyone on the field, and they take great care of beginners. Most first-timers are hitting the ball within the lesson. Experienced riders can move up to a trot once they’re comfortable with the mallet.
Our lessons are private and are kept to one or two riders, so you get the best results for your money. It’s a great pick for couples, a parent and child, or anyone who wants a more hands-on experience than a trail ride.
