Riding For Polo – May-June 2023

Triple SEA Games equestrian gold medallist and 12-time South East Asian champion equestrian Peter Abisheganaden will conduct a Riding For Polo clinic at the Kuala Lumpur Polo Club in May and June 2023.

This is a clinic package of eight (8) group lessons, and a great chance to ride the acclaimed Argentine polo ponies of the KL Academy of Polo.

  • Learn to ride, polo-style
  • Rein holding methods
  • Converting from an equestrian base to riding polo style
  • Leg positions and leg aids
  • Polo seat and the posting canter
  • Neck reining
  • Riding Off
  • Polo stops and turns

Lessons will be at 8:00 AM on Tuesday and Thursday mornings by and KLAP’s Chief Riding Instructor.  The fixed dates for the eight lessons:

  1. Tuesday 16th May
  2. Thursday 18th May
  3. Tuesday 23rd May
  4. Thursday 25th May
  5. Tuesday 30th May
  6. Thursday 1st June
  7. Tuesday 6th June

The prerequisite for this course is that riders should be confident in their canter-work. Riders who are riding in at least Preliminary/Novice level dressage or 80/90 cm show jumping would be suitable to take part in this Riding For Polo clinic.

There will be no make-up lessons for those who cannot make this schedule, but any riders who wish to do additional private lessons will be encouraged.  Those who complete the Riding For Polo course of 8-lessons may also go on to Polo 101, which involves hitting technique and is an introduction to polo.

This Riding For Polo clinic of 8 Lessons is priced RM1,600 for KLPC members or RM1,850 for non-members. A maximum of six riders may enrol in this clinic.  Members have priority, and bookings are confirmed on a paid basis only.
