"The Sport of Kings," the world's oldest team sport, wasn't that what they played in
the movie Pretty Woman? These are all phrases people use to describe
the sport of polo. But, you don't have to be a king or a movie star to play polo, and
you do not even have to leave West Michigan.
You can learn to play one of the best sports on a horse at Meadowview Farm through the
Meadowview Farm Polo School. The Polo School is instructed by long time polo player and
horse trainer Les Johnson.
Les Johnson has been playing polo professionally for over 35
years throughout the United States and Canada and even in Mexico and Zambia. Les has
trained hundreds of polo horses for all levels of polo and all types of players. He also
has coached Women's Interscholastic Teams, club players, and manages the
Meadowview Farm Polo Club.
Les gets help with the Polo School from his daughter, Katie. She has been riding horses
most of her life and "caught' the polo bug from her dad over five years ago. Katie helps
beginning players learn the game and techniques of riding and plays throughout the Midwest and
Canada. She also assists in the management of events for the Meadowview Farm Polo Club
and plans the Club's social events.
The Meadowview Farm Polo School can train players of all
ages and skills. Whether you have never been on a horse or you are a skilled player, we can
provide the right level of instruction to teach you the game of polo.
