Dorset Polo Club operates from a rural site near Poole and is set up specifically around the sport of polo rather than general riding. The club runs private and group polo lessons, structured polo courses and polo packages that take students from their first session through to playing in club chukkas and competitive matches. Lessons are priced from GBP 80 per hour, with sessions arranged to suit complete beginners as well as experienced riders working towards professional level play.
The school caters for a wide age range, including children taking their first lessons, and runs dedicated holiday camps during school breaks. Pony hire is available for those who do not yet own a horse, which makes the sport accessible to newcomers. For players who want regular practice, the club hosts club chukkas on Wednesday evenings at 6pm and on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 11am, alongside fixtures and tournaments throughout the season.
Facilities include both an indoor arena and an outdoor arena, allowing lessons and chukkas to continue through poor weather. There is stabling on site, a club house for members and visitors, and a full livery service for owners who keep their polo ponies at the club. The setting in the Dorset countryside between Poole and the wider South West gives space for the longer grass surfaces required for the game and a quiet rural atmosphere away from busy roads.
Dorset Polo Club is licensed and operates as a dedicated polo venue rather than a multi-discipline centre. Anyone interested in starting polo, booking a holiday camp, arranging livery or hiring a pony can contact the club directly at the postcode BH16 6HQ near Poole in Dorset. Visitors are advised to confirm current lesson times, tournament dates and livery availability when booking, as club chukkas and event schedules vary across the season.
