UK Arena Polo is here!

As the Autumn weather sets in, so does the start of the arena polo season in the UK. As the arena game is nonstop, it is a great way to work on a couple of critical aspects of your outdoor game.

Improving your riding:
With quick transitions from attack to defense and back into attack, means that you are constantly changing speed and direction. Using your seat and legs to give slow, clear, concise signals to your pony with a secondary signal coming from your hands, means you’ll have the best communication with your pony and will allow you both to work as a team.

Marking in Defence:
With only 3-a-side, and in a smaller area, arena polo provides a great way to learn how to really mark a man (or woman as the case may be). As you only have two teammates, it becomes much clearer who you need to be marking in any given time.

Irrespective of your level of riding or playing, we welcome you to join us for a wonderful afternoon of polo!

A fantastic UK Polo Clinic out on the grass 🏇🇬🇧

A huge well done to everyone who joined us for our recent Polo Clinic, with players travelling from Paris, the USA and the UK to take part for up to three days.

Each morning focused on the foundations of the game, developing the polo swing, polo riding and putting it into practice with plenty of stick & ball.

Over lunch, we moved into Game Theory, looking more closely at positioning, tactics and decision making, before heading back onto the field for focused stick & ball sessions and afternoon chukkas.

It was brilliant to see everyone take what we’d worked on throughout the day and apply it in play, with plenty of progress, learning and fun along the way.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, and thank you for making it such an enjoyable clinic.

We’re already looking forward to many more both here in the UK and US over the coming months!

Four days of coaching in Mallorca 🇪🇸🐎

A brilliant few days working with Sarah Braune of at , competing in their latest 10-goal tournament.

Our focus throughout the clinic was on two key areas: generating more power and accuracy through Sarah’s shots, and creating faster, smoother transitions during play.

Sarah put it all into practice on the field, making a fantastic contribution to the Electric Polo Team and combining brilliantly with 6-goaler Adrian Laplacette, including some important goals and assists.

We also worked closely together on those quick transitions where clear, precise riding signals can make such a difference. And what a string to work with, including some exceptional ponies from Ellerstina breeding and other top bloodlines!

A great four days of coaching, competition and plenty of progress.

Well done, Sarah! 👏

Ever thought about trying polo?

You don’t need to own a horse, know the rules or even have ridden before 🏇

Based in Berkshire, Grace Polo Coaching offers Discover Polo sessions for anyone curious about giving the sport a try. Whether you’re already comfortable in the saddle or starting completely from scratch, Victoria will introduce you to polo step by step, from learning how to ride a polo pony in a safe, controlled environment through to picking up a stick, hitting the ball and understanding the basics of the game.

Horses and equipment are provided so all you need to bring is a willingness to give it a go!

With Berkshire being within easy reach of London, it’s a chance to swap the city for the polo field, spend some time outdoors and experience a sport you might just find yourself wanting to come back to.

The offside backhand is a critical defensive shot.

When the swing is timed correctly, you get the power through the swing from doing a preliminary wind-up to get the mallet hand high and the right shoulder in front, so the body can untwist through the shot. It’s important to hit the ball at your heel when you see the back of the ball.

It’s a shot that relies on preparation, position, and confidence, and one we spend a lot of time refining in our coaching sessions.

Grace Polo Coaching is currently available in the Berkshire area, with coaching also available across the UK by arrangement.

The final outdoor clinic of the season 🏇🇬🇧

Join Victoria for three days of focused coaching at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, from 23rd–25th September.

This will be Grace Polo’s final UK clinic of the outdoor grass season, bringing together the practical and theoretical sides of the game to help you become a more complete polo player.

Mornings will focus on riding and hitting, with sessions covering swing mechanics, technique and plenty of stick & balling out on grass.

After lunch, we’ll step away from the saddle and look at Game Theory. Using the whiteboard, miniature players and footage from high-goal polo, Victoria will break down positioning, rules, tactics and decision making before putting that understanding back into practice on the field.

We’ll finish the afternoons with more stick & balling and relaxed chukkas, giving you the opportunity to apply what you’ve worked on throughout the day.

If you’ve been thinking about working with Victoria this season, this is your last opportunity to join one of our outdoor grass clinics in the UK this year.

Places are available now.

Goodbye Sweet Sheridan, Wyoming!

It’s been a pleasure working with such a great mix of players, helping to develop everything from polo riding and hitting techniques to positioning, tactics and a greater understanding of the game.

One of the things I love most about coaching is that no two players or sessions are the same. Being able to identify those small changes that can make a real difference, and then seeing players put them into practice, is incredibly rewarding.

We’ve also been fortunate to have some fantastic horses from Orrin Connell available for our sessions, alongside some pretty spectacular Wyoming surroundings!

A huge thank you to everyone who has come along for coaching and made the past month so enjoyable. I’m already planning my next clinics at various clubs around the US and looking forward to next season in Sheridan, Wyoming. 🇺🇸

A legacy that continues today.

Grace Polo Coaching wasn’t built overnight. It has its foundations in a lifetime dedicated to the sport.

Growing up, polo was more than just a game. Under the guidance of my father, Peter Grace OBE, I learnt the importance of good horsemanship, strong fundamentals of the game and a genuine respect for the sport.

Peter Grace was author of the book “”POLO”” which has a foreword by King Charles mentioning that “”Peter is generally regarded as one of the best instructors that there is in polo””. My father went on to receive an OBE (Order of the British Empire) from King Charles for Services to Polo.

As the co-founder of Ascot Park Polo Club, alongside my father, I am proud to have dedicated 25 years of my life managing Ascot Park and introducing newcomers to polo and help existing players develop their skills. Ascot Park grew into the largest training centre for polo in the world, teaching over 2,500 people each year how to play, and democratizing the sport so people from all walks of life could play polo.

Those values remain at the heart of Grace Polo Coaching today.

Whether you’re stepping onto a polo pony for the very first time or looking to refine your game, my aim is the same as it always has been - to provide a supportive, structured coaching environment that helps every player reach their full potential while enjoying the sport at whatever level of play.

It’s a privilege to continue with the legacy that my father created and to continue to share the passion for polo that he instilled in me.
