THE SIGNATURE EVENT

The Polo Experience

An evening on the field, designed for people who have never played polo before. We teach you the game, hand you a mallet, put you on a carefully matched horse, and before the night is over you will play a real chukker alongside club members. Now running twice a week, pick a Wednesday or Friday and come ride.

“I have watched people walk onto this field nervous and leave with the biggest smiles of their lives. Every single time.”

— DR. KYLE VARNER

WHAT THE EXPERIENCE INCLUDES

  1. A classroom session on the rules, positions, and how the game is played
  2. Mallet handling and striking the ball on the ground
  3. Riding a horse matched to your experience level

  5. Your very first real chukker with club members

More Than a Sport,
A Tradition

At Spokane Polo School, we believe the field is a classroom where character, timing, and horsemanship converge. Our curriculum is designed to respect the heritage of the game while making it accessible to a new generation of riders.

Whether you are a seasoned equestrian or have never stepped foot in a stirrup, our customized approach ensures that every student develops the confidence and technical skill required for competitive play.

FAQs

Do I need to know how to ride a horse?

No! Many people learn to play polo and ride at the same time, though previous riding experience is certainly a plus. We start from the very beginning, building your confidence in the saddle before graduating to hitting and riding at speed

This is our entry point for newcomers, running Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:30 PM.

For $200 per person you will learn the game, swing a mallet, ride a carefully matched horse, and play your first real chukker alongside club members.

No experience needed — just bring jeans and a boot with a heel.

Is there an age limit to participate?
