It's hard to believe it's economic to ship a polo pony halfway round the world, but the numbers really do stack up. Dozens of players, from aspiring up-and-comers to overseas professionals, have bought horses from my stables in New Zealand and shipped them home.

The key is the value of the New Zealand dollar. This country stays competitive on world markets through its dollar being worth about half a US dollar. So, buy something for $NZ1000 and it costs only about $US600, or, on current exchange rates, about £380.
It's the exchange rate that also makes the polo school so attractive for overseas players.
Multi-talented horses"I love the very smart website it is most informative. "You have forgotten to mention production of the world's only polo-pony/eventer/hunter/dressage/show/ team chaser & mothers hack! (most multi-talented horse ever bred! He is nearly 9 now and in excellent form). Have also worked out his big uncles are [eventers] Annabel Wigley's 'Black Drum' and Kitty Boggis' 'Boondoggle' (Drums of Time) - awesome! "Great to see that 'Ming' made it to Australia, I know 'Koha' is considered a weapon by Ed who is sad our season here is nearly over." -Sophie Dawes, England

I stake my reputation on my horses. Many buyers keeping coming back, so I guess that says something.
People have asked me why I don't put the pictures and details of available ponies on my site. The reason is simple: it's not the way to sell polo ponies, and it's not the way to buy them, either.
How are your current mounts? Could they be a factor limiting your progress in the game? It's essential to match players with the right horses. If you want to discuss your requirements, then please contact us. Dozens of overseas players -- both amateurs and professionals -- have found that the numbers really do stack up. I'm confident you'll find that, too.
