Before You Ride the Polo Pony, This is What You Have to Do!

This picture was taken at the Southampton Hunt and Polo Club. This is what you do for the first lesson. Before you get on the Polo Pony, you have to learn how to hold and swing the mallet. It is a class to teach you how to get used to swinging before you go out in the field and play. The mallet ranges in size between 48" and 54 ," and is lighter for the women. The length depends on the size of the pony.
