Polo Lesson & Horse Rental Information

Polo takes place on horseback, but you do not need to already be a rider to start learning polo. Polo is fun at every level, I promise!  At the walk, you'll still have fun.  We have a special promotion for those trying polo for the first time.  Receive FIVE lessons for just $350 for a limited time! It's so much more fun doing an intro package than it is doing just one. Each time you return, you understand it a little better.  Each new student can purchase ONE of these intro packages. Current students of polo or previous players are not eligible for this promotion.

These lessons are tailored to the individual on learning the balance, position, game rules, hitting and strategy.  Private Lessons and Youth Pricing Available. Club membership is not required for lessons.

Interscholastic polo is an exceptional program to bring up any new player into the ranks of competitive  competition.  My docile, safe and fun string of lesson horses are available for rent during the interscholastic practice season and for the local tournaments.  The competitive season runs from about November to March, and can be done officially through the middle school and high school the rider attends.  The USPA has a very thorough and extensive program so that polo can be made accessible to students during their formative years, and even into their collegiate years.  Head to www.uspolo.org for more information. I am not the Interscholastic coach or part of the operation, but the club has a phenomenal program and has gone to Nationals nearly every year since its inception only a few years ago. It is a fantastic program for the budding youth player.

PLSD has a wonderful string of competent, easy, sane, skilled polo horses for your rental needs.  If you are a 1 goal player or above, we encourage you to secure your own mount,  as these horses are not used to playing hard and fast. For players rated 0 and below, PLSD can provide horses for you for club practices and most tournaments.  

PLSD is also available for rental horses and hauling to attend local and regional tournaments.  Rentals and Hauling pricing to tournaments will be different than regular rentals. Inquire with us! 

Price typically based on distance of the tournament from our home club. Youth and Adult pricing for each event will vary based on distance and which advanced flight/level you need the horse for.

SELF-SERVICE - All quotes are self-service prices, based on the student or renter being involved and learning to do it themselves, gradually weaning off of supervision, to created a more well rounded polo player who is self sufficient. 

FULL GROOMING SERVICE:  If you prefer to have your horse tacked and untacked for you when you rent, that may be arranged and the price will reflect the additional care and attention given to the horse on your behalf. This is ideal for someone with a tighter schedule who needs to shorten their time spent at the barn.  This is available upon request.

Lakeside Polo Club has the only public grass field south of Indio, CA which is the hub of winter polo on the west coast. Lakeside has a half sized grass field where members play on Saturday mornings. It is the PERFECT size for a budding player who is used to playing in the arena. Just enough of an expansion of the field, no walls, and not too big to get overwhelmed with the extra space. The field is amazing, and we are lucky to have it in San Diego. 

Unfortunately, no group lessons are available on the grass, but may be granted in the future. Beginner students may play on the grass though, it just won't be in a lesson setting, it will be in a chukker format, and you must be both a USPA member and Lakeside Polo member to enjoy the grass field for chukkers.

PLSD has everything you need to get started with your polo lifestyle.   

Lessons are held in Lakeside, California. The club is privately owned and operated. Address will be available upon booking a lesson or scheduling a tour of the facility. Entering the property is not allowed unless prior arrangements have been made with a staff member, me, or other club member. Do not enter the property if someone is not expecting you.

You know you've always wanted to try it!  Now's your chance.  You won't regret it. 

Go only the speed you're comfortable going, and you'll be great. See you soon!
