Many players mix both—technical riding gear for competition and classic polos for training, club events, or off-field wear.

Polo Playing and Watching 2026 Tournaments

Polo is a fascinating game—and a lot more complicated than it looks (don't cause a hazard and hit the ball). As we head into 2026, it’s worth keeping an eye on upcoming tournaments and matches (see below), especially if you’re new to the sport. Practicing and having fun is great, but watching games—on YouTube or live if you can—will teach you a ton. You’ll pick up strategy, positioning, and timing just by observing… all without falling off a horse. 🐎

Polo requires a surprising amount of coordination and skill. When you first start, having some riding experience helps a lot, and you’ll mostly play at the walk and trot. As you improve and learn the rules, you’ll get more comfortable getting out of the saddle, taking cleaner swings, and eventually moving up to a full gallop—while still trying to hit a small ball with a stick. No pressure.

Fitness is also a big part of the game. You need core and upper-body strength to stay balanced, plus strong stabilizer muscles to keep you secure in the saddle. Flexibility matters too, since polo involves a lot of twisting, leaning, and reaching in ways your body may not be used to—especially at speed.

Strength training combined with yoga can make a huge difference in your game by improving balance, flexibility, and overall control. Understanding how your body moves is key, so having an off-horse training routine really helps. I’m a licensed fitness trainer and yoga instructor, and I’ve been involved in polo and other sports for years. If you want help building a routine or basic nutrition plan that fits your goals, feel free to message me and we’ll put something together.

One final note: you don’t have to be great at a sport to enjoy it. Just stay involved, keep playing, and have fun. Skill comes with time. If you get too serious too fast, you might lose interest—especially since polo isn’t exactly a budget-friendly hobby, and yes, you will be sore when you first start.

Offside Forehand Swing Intensive Video (Polo Playing Tips and Advice)

Videos like this are helpful for understanding both how the game is played and the importance of proper technique. For example, the swing and follow-through are critical. You can clearly see how the mallet comes fully around after contact, staying aligned with the line of the intended shot. The next time you’re on the field, it’s worth practicing with this in mind.

St.Regis World Snow Polo Championship - Finals: What Souls Were Called?

While watching the second part of the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship, one might notice a number of fouls early in the match. Understanding these fouls helps build greater awareness of how the game is played and why certain calls are made. Often, the referee will stop play briefly to assess a situation and either award a penalty or have the players hit the ball back in to resume the match.

Most polo fouls exist to protect the horses and to maintain the flow and safety of the game. With multiple horses moving at speed and approaching the ball from different angles, the “line of the ball” is critically important. This rule helps prevent dangerous perpendicular collisions. While some natural bumping is allowed, referees must judge whether an action crosses the line into unsafe or unfair play and warrants a penalty.

Several of these fouls were discussed during the broadcast, and you can read more about the specific penalties below.

-Hook Foul
-Inappropriate use of mallet.
-Lane violation
