The polo club is set in a most bucolic milieu right in the middle of beautiful Basking Ridge in northern NJ. A stream runs along the perimeter of the property and a pond along with a half-mile exercise track for horses further lend to the picturesqueness.

Open field and arena polo is played all through the summer season that spans mid May to mid October. Regular games are held on Wednesday’s and the weekends both on the grass field and the outdoor arena.


Summer Polo Program

Beginner players are quickly graduated on to outdoor arena games ; an arena game is typically four chukkers and is played with three players on each side. Beginner players are advanced to open field games once it is felt they will be safe playing open field polo.


Beginner Games:

On-site polo professional Dani Wasty gives polo lessons to beginners on quiet horses in the indoor and the outdoor arenas; lessons are moved to the open grass field as the players make steady progress and it is deemed safe for them to be on the field.

A typical beginner lesson has four parts:

Part 1: is didactics on the ground covering the basics of horsemanship.

Part 2: is the actual riding of the horse without a mallet.

Part 3: is mallet work on the horse.

Part 4: is cool down and discussion.
