KING OF THE ONE HORSE SPORTS

Unlike its namesake Polo, you need only one horse. In fact you are only allowed to use one horse when entering a competition. There are no limits as to size, age or breed, only stallions are restricted. A wide spectrum of horses and riders are now competing from a wife variety of disciplines including dressage, team penning, three day eventing, rodeo, Barrel Racing, 4H.  Emphasis is on safety, conditioning, training, horsemanship and most of all fun.

Something For Everyone

Polocrosse is a sport open to every age and ability. We have people joining that are just learning to ride, to people that have competed internationally in other disciplines. You can move up the levels as quickly as you want and be as competitive as you have time for.

Played around the world

Polocrosse was first developed in England in the 1930’s as an indoor game to teach and improve riding skills. Reaching Australia in the early 1940’s polocrosse soon evolved into a fast paced competitive sport. Polocrosse is now played worldwide in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Norway, United States, and Canada.
