Polo Valley – Summer 2022

“My children are completely addicted and want to come back. That is down to the people at Powder Byrne and the team at Polo Valley; from those who taught us, to the lovely grooms that look after the ponies. A feeling of mallet on the ball and simultaneously trying to control a pony is a complete hit with the boys and has made my daughter fall in love with horses all over again. Thank you for mission impossible and making it possible!”
