ABOUT THE HORSES

Horses are at the centre of life at Minninnooka. From beginners’ schoolmasters to competitive polo ponies, every horse is treated as an individual with care, patience and respect.

We believe quality horsemanship, correct education and horse welfare are the foundation of everything we do, both on and off the polo field.

Carefully Selected & Produced Horses

At Minninnooka, we offer a carefully selected range of horses and polo ponies suited to a variety of riders, goals and experience levels.

From safe beginner horses and junior ponies through to competitive polo ponies and young prospects, we focus on producing confident, well-rounded and enjoyable horses with correct foundations and quality horsemanship at the centre of their education.

Our horses may include:

  • Polo ponies

Every horse is treated as an individual, and we take great care in matching horses to suitable riders and homes. Honest descriptions, rider suitability and long-term partnerships are incredibly important to us.

Where appropriate, trial rides and viewings may be arranged to help ensure the right match for both horse and rider.

Whether you are looking for your first polo pony, a safe all-rounder, a competitive horse or a young horse to produce further, we are always happy to discuss your requirements and help guide you through the process.
