Anyone can learn to play polo!
No polo or horse experience? No problem! We start from the very beginning, teaching you the basics of polo riding and hitting the ball. Students can progress from beginner through advanced practices, where the focus is on learning rules and team plays. Our patient horses and instructors will guide you through learning this addictive sport on horseback. Adults and ages 9 & up welcome.
Mountain View Polo Club is located in Charles Town, West Virginia. Practices and lessons are conducted in either of our 300' X 100' outdoor arena or irrigated grass polo field with beautiful views overlooking the hills surrounding the Shenandoah River.
