As an optional service for adult participants in polo training, Polo Grooms work fast & proficiently, to expertly prepare your polo horse for performance, including:
- bring your horse to the pony line from its paddock
- remove its blanket
- thoroughly brush away all dirt from the horse, giving particular care to areas which come in contact with tack, saddle and bandages, to prevent friction sores
- pick clean the hooves, loosening any stones that may be lodged under the shoes;
- bandage all 4 legs
- braid the tail
- fit and fasten tack, pads & saddle
After performance, the groom will
- remove and clean tack, pads, bandages and saddle, returning gear to designated storage
- let down tail and brush out and/or wash the sweat from the horse
- in cooler temperatures, blanket the horse after it dries
- return your horse to its paddock
For a fee of $10 per horse, and with at least 24 hours advanced notification, trained personnel will provide this service with your reservation for polo instruction or for club or tournament chukkers.
