Equipment for the Horse

Polo is a high-intensity sport that requires both the rider and the horse to execute their skills flawlessly.

Behind every great polo pony is a range of specialized equipment crafted for comfort, safety, and peak athletic performance.

From polo saddles to leg care & ice therapy, the perfect gear not only elevates performance but also ensures the horse’s well-being.

Below we dive into the essential equipment for the horse, breaking down each component that supports the game and the animal.

Polo Saddles

The polo saddle is the most vital equipment for the polo pony.

Distinct from conventional saddles, polo saddles are specially designed for quick mounting and dismounting, giving riders freedom of movement on the field.

They feature flatter seats and longer flaps tailored to the specific riding position of polo. Comfort, fit, and durability are essential for a quality polo saddle—an ideal investment for any serious player.

Polo Bridles

Polo bridles are crucial for communication and control between horse and rider.

They are built to withstand the intensity of the sport while ensuring comfort and agility.

A good polo bridle provides precise control without restricting the horse’s breathing or motion. Available in various styles and leather types, they’re often customized for each horse.

Girth & Overgirth

The girth keeps the saddle secure, while the overgirth adds an extra layer of stability during high-speed maneuvers.

Both must be strong yet comfortable to avoid injury. A solid girth & overgirth system ensures stability throughout the match.

Saddle Fittings

Proper saddle fittings—such as stirrup leathers, irons, and saddle trees—are essential for performance and safety.

These components distribute pressure evenly and keep both horse and rider in balance, reducing injury risk.

Reins & Draw Reins

Reins and draw reins are vital for steering and communication.

Reins transmit signals through gentle pressure, while draw reins help with head carriage or training younger ponies. They must offer strength, grip, and just enough elasticity.

Breastplate & Martingale

The breastplate stabilizes the saddle and the martingale helps control the horse’s head movement.

Both are critical in maintaining control and posture, especially in high-level play where safety is key.

Halters & Leads

Used off the field, halters and leads are essential for grooming, transport, and day-to-day management.

Leather halters with fleece lining provide comfort, while strong leads ensure control and safety.

Bandages & Protectors

These provide essential leg protection against blows, contact, and strain during matches.

Polo wraps, tendon boots, and overreach boots are used for both protection and post-match recovery.

Leg Care & Ice Therapy

Recovery is as important as performance. Ice therapy and leg care reduce inflammation and aid healing after intense games.

Products include cooling gels, clay wraps, and ice boots for comprehensive recovery support.

Horse Blankets & Stable Sheets

These help regulate body temperature and protect against cold, dust, and insects.

Stable sheets are used indoors, while heavy blankets are for colder weather or outdoor use. A good set helps maintain year-round pony health.

Polo Stud

Polo studs are cleats fixed to the horse’s shoes to enhance traction, especially on slippery fields.

Proper selection and maintenance improve agility and reduce slip risks.

Horse Blankets

In addition to stable sheets, standalone blankets are used for travel and outdoor conditions—like fly sheets, rain sheets, and turnout blankets.

Layering options provide comfort across different weather conditions.

Equipment for the Player

While polo may look glamorous, player equipment is equally essential for safety, comfort, and performance.

From polo helmets to gloves, each item is engineered for protection and utility. Whether a beginner or pro, proper gear enhances the game.

Polo Helmets

A polo helmet is a non-negotiable safety gear, protecting against falls and impacts from balls or mallets.

Modern helmets meet HPA and USPA standards, offering style, comfort, and maximum protection.

Safety Vest

Worn under the jersey, a safety vest protects the chest, ribs, and spine without limiting motion.

They are lightweight, breathable, and designed for extended wear.

Elbow Pads

These offer critical arm protection during bumps and falls using shock-absorbing materials.

They are lightweight and ergonomic, fitting easily under jerseys without reducing mobility.

Mallet Bags

Mallet bags help players organize and protect their mallets and accessories.

Most are waterproof and padded for durability in all conditions.

Equipment Bags

Large gear bags are used for boots, jerseys, and more.

They include compartments for organization and ventilation to reduce odor—perfect for game day efficiency.

Gloves

Gloves enhance grip, reduce blisters, and absorb mallet impact.

They’re made for all weather types and help maintain control in both dry and wet conditions.

Polo Jeans

Reinforced at key stress points, polo jeans allow ease of movement while offering durability and a clean look on and off the field.

Knee Guards

Knee guards shield the joint during high-speed play and contact, offering impact protection without restricting agility.

Eyeglasses

Protective sunglasses reduce glare, shield against dust, and block UV rays. Popular models feature anti-fog, impact-resistant lenses.

Whips

Used selectively, whips help reinforce commands. They’re short, light, and must follow welfare rules and best practices.

Half Chaps

Half chaps offer added lower leg protection and grip, especially useful in practice sessions. Made from leather or synthetic materials for durability.

Polo Balls

Polo balls, typically made from high-impact plastic or wood, are small but crucial to gameplay. Quality balls ensure consistent performance and durability.
