Horse Racing

Horses of between 4 and 6 years old are taught to develop the necessary skills for this sport - to quickly respond to the riders’ instructions, to manoeuvre into good hitting positions and not to shy when the rider strikes with his stick.

History
The English were first introduced to Polo in India in the 1850s, where the game was played by nobility. The first English polo club was founded in Silchar in India in 1859, and the game was brought with them on their return to England. The English team joined the world circuit in 1886 and won their first Olympic gold medal in 1920.
