Bring the power... back!

Don't forget to RIDE YOUR HORSE! As set up for your back shot your weight and rein hand tend to tell your pony to turn over the ball. Trained ponies know that is not right! Don't believe me? Check out Aida as I ask her to turn the wrong direction! Her face and behavior tells it all! 

It's always good to listen to your horse, a great pony will always make you look good. But bad riding can ruin even the best horse. Master your basics and ride your horse well and the rest will follow.

WRIST!!!

We know you have it, we watch your stroke. And no it's not normal, you're doing something wrong!

SNAP! You need to develop the wrist snap! Not that kind of snap^^^ but the snap of your wrist that comes with allowing the momentum of the stroke flow through your arm. That little snap is the key to curing your wrist pain and unlocking your power.

A Poem By a Frustrated Polo Player

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where the stroke is stopping
Or which way the a ball's a going
Is it shanking? Is it stalling?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of white is showing

So the opponents must be nearing
Because my balls keep disappearing 
Yes, our foes they must be gleaming
Oh which direction am I aiming?
'Cause the balls they keep on shanking 
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs I will be scoring



Your Coach,
