Fox River Valley Pony Club Polo Program
In 2012 the Fox River Valley Pony Club together with the Barrington Hills Polo Club initiated an experimental polo training program. The Polo Club hosted a beginner clinic for all interested Pony Clubbers regardless of age. All Pony Clubbers who could, brought their ponies/horses to the clinic to see which mounts would be suitable for the polo program. In addition, the Polo Club brought trained polo ponies to the clinic for kids who didn’t bring horses or whose horses weren’t suitable (i.e. wouldn’t tolerate mallets
and balls). This program was very successful and we are excited to announce that we will be reinitiating this training for 2015 and have our first clinic scheduled for May 29 at 5:00PM at Fox Creek Stables on Milton Road in Wauconda. John Rosene, President of the Barrington Hills Polo Club will be our host and spend time with all who are interested in learning more about this great sport. Parents - even if you don’t ride, you can quickly learn to play…John will introduce the basics from the ground up and help us determine basic goals for riders and their mounts to progress with ongoing skill development. This is the first of several Polo clinics planned for our club. Again, this event is open to all FRVPC pony club members, their parents and all active Horsemasters. Don’t miss this great opportunity!
