Polo Tips by Tom Goodspeed, Now in Downloadable PDF!

If you’re like me, rather than practice and go home, sometimes you go out to the barn and make a day of it. Take a horse out, come back and chat for a while, clean some tack, take out another horse, etc.

Occasionally I’ll find that I’m the only person around for an hour or so. This downtime is a great opportunity to review some polo basics. Reading a tip or two before riding is a sure-fire way to get yourself mentally prepared for real practice — you’ll naturally pay more attention to your technique and hopefully won’t be tempted quite so often to just sail up and down the field hitting wild forehand after wild forehand. (I’m not saying that that’s not fun, of course, but I’m not sure how much it will help your game in the end!)

With this in mind, I’ve compiled all of Tom Goodspeed’s excellent Polo Tips articles into one downloadable and print-ready PDF file. Enjoy!
