Polo: a game that involves hitting a small ball with a long stick whilst travelling at speed on board a vehicle with a mind of its own. Sound insane? It's time to find out for yourself, even if you're not a royal or a snake-hipped Argentinian. And even if you don't know how to ride. You'll start off being briefed on the basic rules and theory of polo by expert instructors. Then you'll have lots of time to practice ball hitting, polo riding, hooking and riding off (don't worry, all the terminology will be explained). The polo ponies are well-schooled and there will be an instructor by your side. After your training you'll change into proper polo gear and mount your horse, and then it's time to put what you've learnt into practice as you both play an instructional chukka. After, you can stay and watch matches being played for the rest of the day. Fast-paced, skilful and with the fantastic sound effect of thundering hooves, polo is a great sport to play and to watch.

Then you'll mount a mechanical horse to learn the basic polo swings. Next you'll mount a polo pony (a real one this time) to improve your skills and take part in a 'stick and ball' session. After a buffet lunch there's a video on game tactics, more stick and ball sessions and finally, instructional chukkas so you can put all your new skills into practice. Fast-paced and skilful, polo is an exciting, challenging sport (even without an HRH). Click Here for More Details...

This is the opportunity of a lifetime to spend the day on the River Test, the world's most renowned trout river. You will have exclusive access to a private beat on this famous river, with an experienced and helpful fishing guide at your side. The guide is a real local expert who knows all the best spots, flies to pick and carries the latest Orvis fishing outfit for you to use (if you don't have your own tackle). You will spend the day spotting and stalking brown trout that are just waiting to grab your perfectly cast fly in the gin-clear water! And all the while you will be soaking up the magnificent tranquillity of the Test Valley, where the occasional appearance of a kingfisher flashing by or a water vole poking his head up around your feet is as much intrusion on your fishing day as you can expect.
