Gap Year Polo in New Zealand is a great opportunity for students to improve their polo and to expand their horizons. Gap Year students travel to our school in New Zealand each season for summer polo.
My wife and I love having the Gap Year students around. From a polo point of view, they're eager to learn and improve their play. The growth in their game over a couple of months can be phenomenal.
From a personal point of view, it's great to see them settle into our home, quickly meet new friends, and begin to grow as people.
Testimonials from Gap Year students"Thank-you for opening your house to Thandi and I and for providing the most amazing horses and just generally for doing everything that you did for me. Hopefully we'll win the Open when I come back ... that would be great!" -Gala Rowe-Setz "I have learnt such a lot, not just about horses and polo, but also many valuable lessons in life. I am in denial that I am actually leaving." |
The polo school is just 15 minutes outside Christchurch, a city of 300,000 people. Christchurch is the hub of the South Island, offering a wide variety of services, entertainment, and nightlife.
During the New Zealand summer, the country is full of like-minded young people intent on exploring our slice of the world. New Zealand is a friendly, safe country, with a low crime rate, and free of the unrest that has plagued some parts of the globe.
The Gap season runs from about September, at the start of spring. Polo is played right through the summer, until about April. Placements are typically from one to two months. Gap Year students will get:
 Bess, Gala, Michael with Foxy, Champion Pony of the Tournament, during their stay. |
- Tournament polo.
- Riding and hitting instruction.
- Practice chukkas.
- Stick and balling on the beach (only minutes from the school).
- Quality accommodation in a home environment right beside the school.
- A southern hemisphere summer at the height of a northern winter!
- A great country right at their doorstep to explore.
