Whilst I chose not to ride, my travel partner, who is an experienced rider had a fantastic time watching the morning chuckas, learning the basics and then getting to play some polo with the group and the support staff. He specifically noted how well the day was run to include people with varied (including none) riding experience. Lunch was great - lots of various meats, veggies and wine or juice etc. as a non rider I really enjoyed the park like grounds, the birds, watching the games, and the dogs - bring your binoculars. All round positive and fun day.”
