a unique approach to riding and POLO

Riding & Polo is the home of both the Clavières riding school and the Bordeaux-Atlantic polo school, affiliated to the French federations of polo and riding.

40 miles from Bordeaux,  5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Riding & Polo offers first-time polo, beach-polo, polo lessons, rides in the forest and on the beach, pony rides, livery,… Open all-year round to all public : adults, kids, schools, universities, companies,…

Riding & Polo staff is very much attached to its horses and the horses which are in their trust. They happily share their passion, love and respect for horses.

From a very young age Jerome Houssait-Young, founder and instructor of Riding & Polo,  was fascinated by the polo ponies and the game of polo, at Kirtlington Polo Club, in Oxfordshire, England. Only as an adult he was able to fulfill his dream… riding horses and playing polo. Having started riding as a young adult, it is much easier for him to transmit to others the first approach to horses, riding and polo. He makes the experience of riding and learning to play polo easy for beginners, with extremely docile and well-trained horses and a well thought progressive teaching method. Jerome is a qualified English speaking polo instructor and equestrian outdoor riding guide.
