Training Services for Polo Ponies by Coddington Bracewell

At Coddington Bracewell, our foundation training programme is designed to produce well-rounded, athletic polo ponies with the confidence, responsiveness, and physical conditioning needed for the sport. We begin with essential groundwork and tack introduction, progressing through desensitisation and early handling to establish trust and control. As training advances, ponies develop precision in manoeuvres like tight turns, quick stops, and seamless gait transitions. Speed, agility, and balance are refined through targeted drills, while game-specific skills such as stick and ball work, shot accuracy, ride-offs, and strategic positioning are introduced. Throughout, we focus on temperament—building patience, responsiveness, and socialisation with other ponies—while supporting physical health through tailored nutrition, hoof care, and injury prevention. By integrating rider cues and fostering clear communication between horse and rider, each pony graduates with the foundation needed to excel in polo.
