James structures the day perfectly from learning to swing, hitting, getting comfortable on the wooden horse to riding and eventually having a chukker or two with a beautiful pub lunch and a couple of Guinness to break the day up in between It was a real privilege to ride the beautiful and patient horses they have there and I would thoroughly recommend the experience to one and all, the only negative was we were a bit saddle sore sitting down at Chester races the next day!!! 🤠 Many thanks to James, Clair and Dale it was a real pleasure spending the day with you all 😊 · via Google [Gemma Crosby](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110258984504461579741/reviews) ★★★★★ If you’re interested in horses, polo or just looking for something different to try you have to go to JF Polo academy. Riding experience isn’t essential, the horses are very well behaved but responsive if you do want to go faster. James was a fab instructor, showing us the basics and we even got to play a game at the end. I haven’t had so much fun in years and despite the rain at the start of the lesson I had the biggest grin on my face for the rest of the day… Go have a lesson, it’s great fun and the team give a warm a friendly welcome. When I’m back in the area I’ll definitely be going back. · via Google [Amy Elliott](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102348222659773038674/reviews) ★★★★★ During our tour of England our friend gifted my teenagers a polo lesson with JF Polo and what a blast they had! James was a great teacher but laid back and made the experience very relaxed and not stressful. There were lots of laughs and great memories were made. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487ae683dac3b849:0xf5961b506492b4c9!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Swinford Stables, Norton's Lane, Great Barrow, Chester, CH3 7JZ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=53.2359237%2C-2.7721250) **Category** Horse Riding **Guest rating** 4.9 / 5 (65 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 6+ **Suggested visit** 1-2 hours **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Chester [More attractions in Chester](https://staycation.co.uk/chester/attractions) ★ 4.9 (65 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.jfpoloacademy.com?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [07917541021](tel:07917541021) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Chester **Postcode** CH3 7JZ **Plus Code** 9C5V66PH+95 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487ae683dac3b849:0xf5961b506492b4c9!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487ae683dac3b849:0xf5961b506492b4c9!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487ae683dac3b849:0xf5961b506492b4c9!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Chester Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
