OC POLO CLUB

I first went to OC Polo to watch a polo match. I was very excited to find out they gave lessons so my husband and I took a lesson and we were hooked (pun intended ha ha)! This is the most fun you can have on horseback! It combines riding skills with teamwork and competition! You don't have to have any skills when you start because they will teach you everything in a very supportive, collaborative environment. But wait, there's more...the owners are sooo friendly and welcoming and the staff reflects that feeling entirely. Heather, the Club Manager is amazing...she teaches, she will help you find a horse if/when you're ready to buy, and she helps you with anything you need. You don't have to buy a horse, though, their school horses are better than any lesson horse I have ever seen. Sarah, the barn manager is the kindest person on earth. I read a previous negative review and I'm pretty sure that was written by someone who just didn't qualify for a job there. They are quite picky with their staff and it shows. They need grooms who can really ride and help care for horses, not someone who just thinks they can ride and thinks they know about caring for horses...(we know who they are). As a current horse owner at this club, I am very grateful that they are this picky with their staff! There are many other staff members, too many to mention here, but I would just be repeating my praises because they are all fantastic! Everyone should check this place out, it is worth a visit, but be forewarned, you won't want to leave!

This is a beautiful place to attend events! The staff are the most amazing people. You don't even have to be involved in horses, the venue is amazing for any type of event and you have the added benefit of seeing these majestic animals! Thank you everyone at OC Polo! Sarah, Heather, Jen, Fawn, Whitney and many others!!!

I went in for an interview to be a horse groomer. They asked for experienced riders, which I am. The welcoming my fiancé and I received was Sarah, the interviewer, walking her horse straight into my chest. I stumbled back hard enough to have to catch myself. After that, it was straight onto a random horse, and nothing about the actual job. She never asked me any questions about my grooming experience, or how to care for these beautiful creatures. She only cared if I could walk, trot, and canter, and the second I was not able to do that to her standards, she kicked me off the horse, and that was the end of the interview. I never got to meet eye to eye with the horse I was riding(Later found out his name was Rafiki, he was amazing but I could tell that he was stressed out too.) Never had a moment to breathe, just 20 minutes of being barked at and interrupted by someone who clearly does not care about the horses, or the people she’s interviewing. We are never going back, and never applying for another job there ever again. Good luck OC Polo. P.s. Whitney, you were awesome and deserve so much better! :)

OC Polo is truly a great group of individuals and horses. I started taking lessons with them about three years ago and felt welcome from the moment I arrived. Heather and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable and passionate about the sport. It is a blast to play and spend time with such a great group of people. I definitely recommend checking it out- even if you don't have any horse experience, they can teach you!

Love OC Polo! I started out taking lessons with Heather - great instructor. These are an affordable way to get into the sport for people of a variety of skill levels. If you don't want to ride, they have great weekly matches that are open to the public to watch - definitely worth checking out.
