HPA Affiliation
We are delighted to announce that the HPA has re-affiliated the club.  Stewarton was first given HPA affiliation in 2004 but with the relocation to Edinburgh, we had to have a pitch inspection before we were allowed to affiliate again.

Big Changes Ahead



New facilities

Stewarton Polo Club has continued to grow year on year and now we have a strong membership base we feel it is time to expand the facilities as well.  This year saw the addition of a full size pitch to compliment the smaller pitch we have used over the last few years.

We have put in for planning permission to build 20 stables, a 100 x 50 metre arena, a wooden horse and a house with a club room,dining facilities and accommodation for the members. If approved the new facilities will be the best in Scotland.

The great location of the club means it is easily accessible from many areas of the country, attracting members from far and wide.

Polo Shop



We are delighted to announce that we are now able to sell polo equipment.  In our efforts to supply high quality equipment we contacted many wholesellers in Argentina and we were delighted to be able to form a link with a very well known brand that has a reputation for excellent quality equipment.

As the only polo shop in Scotland we are in a great location in Edinburgh which is easily accessible for all the Scottish players.

Please don't hesitate to call us on 07974 706045 if you would like further information or would like to come along and see the equipment.

On a further note, as much as I hate to remind everyone Christmas is not far away so if you would like a special order I would advise that you place it as soon as possible in order to get it in time.

Busy, busy, busy



At the half way point of the season already and it seems to have gone in a jiffy.  This year has seen an incredible increase in people coming for lessons and I am delighted to report that all have loved it so much they have signed up as members.  Maybe that is not so surprising as Polo is such a fantastic sport and we have such lovely members that there cannot be a better way to spend your free time.  The weather has helped too with many sunny evenings, perfect for playing polo.

Already we are planning a Spring trip to Argentina.  Everyone had such great fun last year that I am sure it will be a popular trip again.  We are leaving on February 16th and returning on March 1st.  Members and non-members are welcome to join us even if you have never played polo before.  The timing of the trip will have you perfectly tuned up to start the new season when we return.  Email stewartonpolo@btinternet.com for further details.

It's still not too late to have a go at polo before the season ends so just give us a call to get started.

Are You Up For A Challenge?

Think learning to play polo in two months and be able to play a tournament at the end of it, is impossible?  Think again.  Three lucky people will be selected to take part in this challenge.  They will form a team to take part in a tournament in September.  Not only does it include two months intensive training and the tournament but will finish with a  trip to Argentina.  Described by one past participant as the experience of a lifetime, this will be two months of fun, team building and polo.

The training starts on July 5th.  If you would like to apply email stewartonpolo@btinternet.com with some information about yourself and why you would like to take part.  No riding experience is necessary.

Mike Hobday Polo Clinic

We are very luck to have Mike Hobday running a clinic for us on May 1st.  Mike is the coach of the Young England  and Belgium national team.  His clinics are great fun and also very informative.

The clinic will run from 10am to 4pm on May 1st and the cost is £150.  He will also hold a rules test on Saturday night.  Please email us for further details.

All Systems Go

Finally there has been a let up in the awful weather which has given the grounds enough time to dry up.  We are now open for lessons and chukkas.

If you would like further information or to book call 07974 706045 or email stewartonpolo@btinternet.com

Countdown to the Season

With such an extended cold snap, Spring has never been more eagerly awaited.  All going well the horses will be brought back into work in February.  It will take 4-6 weeks to get them fit and then hopefully all being well lessons will start.

If anyone would like to join us to ride out whilst we are getting the horses fit you would be more than welcome.
