Polo in Victoria
Our Club was established in 1982 following the amalgamation of the Victoria Polo Club and the Vancouver Island Polo Club, and is proud to continue the long and rich history of polo on Vancouver Island.
The Victoria Polo Club is a welcoming and diverse group of people of a wide range of ages who have a distinct commonality in that they have all caught the ‘polo bug’ – we warn you now, it’s contagious!
Joining Victoria Polo Club
Introductory Polo
As a club we are proud to offer introductory polo that welcomes riders of all skill levels, even those who have never played before. Our introductory arena polo is played in an enclosed arena, making it easier for beginners to learn and feel comfortable on their horses. With smaller teams, simplified rules, and a focus on safety, accessible beginner polo is a great way to try out the sport and have fun with your horse.
Lessons
Please contact us if you are interested in booking a 1:1 lesson with your own horse or one of our made polo ponies. Lesson times are limited.
Beginner Schedule
In our attempt to recruit new horses and riders to the sport, we are offering beginner slow and coached games every Sunday morning as well as stick and ball practice sessions every Tuesday. While these are open to anyone who is interested in coming out, we also have closed practices throughout the week that are not publicly scheduled. If Tuesday and/or Sunday do not work for you, please don’t be shy about reaching out! We are happy to try to accommodate different days.
We are located within the farmlands on the Peninsula midway between the BC Ferry terminal and downtown Victoria.
