J F Polo Academy

About Us

With more than 50 years of polo experience, we assure world class tuition & service.

Our academy thrives on a lively, fun, honest and welcoming environment. We host frequent socials, BBQ/asado and fire pit evenings. All polo lessons, experiences and chukkas are held on a regular basis with qualified HPA instructors. Our chukkas are included in our livery packages. Clients can also hire horses or bring their own polo ponies.

We  are a stepping stone into Cheshire Polo Club. However, we have our own premises, meaning that we do not require membership fees. We also have the flexibility to perform at a range of events, including weddings, festivals and country shows

Polo Socials

It is not all about lessons, training and tournaments; polo is also about becoming immersed within one of the greatest social networking groups there is. 


Our clients enjoy regular get-togethers, organised by our team, ranging from restaurant meals, hospitality at polo events to BBQs/asados/fire-pit evenings at our academy.

Our Mission

The academy was set up in 2006 to make polo as accessible as possible. A pay-as-you-go system was created, enabling anyone to learn, improve and play polo at our academy.


In 2018 we collaborated with Cheshire Polo Club located in little Budworth, to help provide a natural feed of new players from grass-roots level.


This season (2025) we plan to enhance our facilities even further by building a 90m x 45m arena, which has recently been granted planning permission.

All lessons are held with HPA Qualified Polo Instructors
