The complete challenge

This is for people who want to set themselves a real challenge.  It starts off with fitness training, followed by two months of intensive polo - lessons take place two to three times a week.  It finishes with a match played with a pro to make up the team.  Only three people get on the course and it is a real team bonding experience.  Past players have described this as an experience of a lifetime and quite life changing.  One thing is certain you will have a fabulous time!
