Schooling A Green Horse For Polo – Video 6

In this, the sixth video in the Schooling a Green Horse for Polo series, Hanalei plays in her first chukker! In a very few weeks from her first introduction to a saddle, Hanalei has made great progress.

Notice that Christian takes care to keep the intensity and stress low and allows Hanalei to enjoy running with the other horses. He does not attempt any ride-offs or rollbacks, no sliding stops or sharp turns and he keeps Hanalei at a trot or hand-canter at most. Christian’s care will allow Hanalei to develop a positive experience of the game and to look at polo as something fun rather than a burden, or worse yet, something to fear.
