The Pony Club competition will be played as a four team round robin where all teams will play each other in the group stage and then the top two teams in the group will face each other in the final on Sunday the 17th just before the World Cup Final itself. The other two teams will play off for 3rd and 4th on Saturday the 16th.

Polocrosse is a recognised Pony Club discipline and is brilliant sport for Pony Clubs. Members love playing it and it is something different for both pony and rider to do. It helps improve the schooling of ponies and the balance and flexibility of the riders. It is also a very sociable sport!

The UKPA works very closely with the Pony Club’s own polocrosse committee to help grow and develop the sport. Both the UKPA and the Pony Club can help clubs source equipment and arrange coaches to deliver introductory sessions.
