We had an amazing time, really lovely and kind people, never done polo before and took things very slow and had an overall wonderful experience will definitely be going back!

We had a absolutely fantastic day with James and all the team at JF last week, it was such a unique and personable experience we all thoroughly enjoyed it especially as it was the first time any of us had ridden a horse! 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 😊

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.

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.
