Introduction to Polo
For those who would like to get a good start on the game of just for the experience, INTRO TO POLO clinics offer first timers a chance to try the Sport of Kings and Cowboys. Horses and equipment are provided. Attendees learn the basics of mallet work, riding for polo, rules and strategy. No riding experience is necessary. The clinic lasts approximately three hours and at Las Colinas is followed by spectating the Sunday match. The cost of the clinic is $150 and can be prepaid by calling the PTF office at 888-PTF-POLO.
Player Clinics
Open to beginning and intermediate players, this four-day intensive clinic will deepen your polo skills and knowledge. Mornings consist of horsemanship and swing with drills and instruction. After lunch, we will use "chalk talks" and video to cover strategy and rules. Then back onto the horses later in the afternoon for scrimmage. The price of the clinic includes accommodations at the Brushy Creek bunk house, horses and loaner equipment if needed. The cost of the clinic is $995.
Clinics are regularly scheduled for Memorial and Labor Day weekends, with additional sessions during the year. A safe and professional string of horses is available. For more information contact Robin Sanchez at 717-645-8778 or Robin@pololessons.com or the Polo Training Foundation office at 888-PTF-POLO.

Corporate Team Building
Polo is a great team builder. Not only do individuals work together as a team, but players enhance multi-tasking skills - mallet work, strategy and horse control all being necessary to play. Participants also learn cooperation with their non-English speaking teammates - the horses.
With its close proximity to DFW airport, Brushy Creek is accessible from around the world. A polo weekend is a unique and memorable way to entertain clients or reward exceptional staff.
