CURRAGHMORE Polo Club in Waterford has become the first to take part in what is expected to be a series of training events across Ireland, forming a springboard for anyone who has thought about getting involved in the polo lifestyle.

The inaugural event of three days coordinated last weekend by the Irish Polo Foundation’s Tina White involved Seahorse Polo founder Jamie McCarthy, Alejo Tagle of Bishopsland Polo Club and Polo Wicklow’s Siobhan Herbst. Herbst will line out later this year along with April Kent along and two Scottish players representing the Celtic Team at the Argentine Ladies Open.
