Learn to play the king of games in Kuala Lumpur.  KL Academy of Polo has a new intake for our POLO 101 course, starting in mid-May 2022.  This course is designed to start off established riders in the game of polo.

The POLO 101 course would be conducted on KL Academy of Polo’s polo ponies or on member’s own ponies.  It is taught by triple SEA Games gold medallist and Chief Riding Instructor, Peter Abisheganaden.  Guest instructors may be invited to teach.

POLO 101 consists of 16 lessons in total, held three times a week, over two months, all conducted at The Selangor Polo Club (TSPC) , in Ampang Hilir, Kuala Lumpur.

Twelve of those lessons are mounted and will include:

• Riding for Polo
• Contact and Neck Reining
• Fitness for Polo
• Posting Canter
• Riding Off
• Stick and Ball

Three lessons will be on “Woody,” the wooden horse, learning the polo strokes.

One classroom lesson will be on the rules of polo, player roles and positioning on the field.

Conditions:

• Polo 1010 classes are scheduled for 45 minutes, and shall be run in groups of four to six riders.
