🏇✨ Academy Player into Club Polo ✨🏇

We’re incredibly proud of Sephie, who recently made the transition from Academy polo into club tournament polo at just 10 years old.

Playing on her own pony, Luna, alongside two of our trusted Academy polo ponies, Sephie showed great determination, confidence and sportsmanship throughout the weekend. One of the standout moments was a strong ride-off on the Saturday against some very experienced club players, demonstrating just how much her skills and confidence have developed through her Academy training.

Not only did she hold her own on the field, but she also scored goals for her team, a fantastic achievement and a reward for all the hard work she continues to put into her polo.

Watching young players progress from learning the fundamentals in the Academy to competing successfully in club tournaments is exactly why we do what we do. Sephie continues to train hard, develop her riding and polo skills, and embrace every opportunity to learn and improve.

A huge congratulations to Sephie and Luna on a fantastic tournament. We can’t wait to see what comes next as they continue their polo journey together. 🐎🏆

🏇✨ Academy to Club Polo ✨🏇

The last weekend of May marked our first club tournament of the season, and we couldn’t be prouder to see Academy players Sharon Scott and Nicky Wilkinson taking to the field.

Both Sharon and Nicky continue to train regularly within the Academy, working hard to develop their riding, polo skills, game understanding and confidence. Watching them put that training into practice in a competitive club environment is exactly what the Academy pathway is all about.

Their commitment, enthusiasm and determination to keep improving have been fantastic to see, and it was a pleasure to have them representing J F Polo Academy on the Cheshire Polo Club fields.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to be taking more Academy players into club polo throughout the season, helping them gain valuable match experience and continue their development in the sport.

A huge well done to Sharon and Nicky on their progress so far—we’re looking forward to seeing what comes next! 🐎🏆

⭐️ Show your support, Vote James Fielding ⭐️

We’re incredibly proud to share that James has been shortlisted for Polo Coach of the Year 2026 🏆

From representing England as an Under-21 player, to building J F Polo Academy over the past 20 years, his focus has always been the same—making polo accessible, developing players of all levels, and supporting the wider polo community.

From Pony Club badge days and coaching beginners, to mentoring professionals, producing and sourcing horses, supporting smaller clubs, and helping grow the sport both in the UK and internationally—it’s been quite a journey.

None of this would be possible without the amazing clients, players, friends, and family who have been part of it along the way—so thank you.

Help him bring this well deserved award back to our academy.

✨ Happy New Year! ✨

Welcome to 2026! The year of the Horse 🐎

In Chinese tradition, the horse represents strength, speed, freedom, and determination — qualities that define our great polo ponies. The year of the horse is a time of action, progress, confidence, and momentum, encouraging us to move forward with courage and purpose.

As we step into 2026, this year reminds us to:
• Trust our instincts
• Embrace hard work and discipline
• Ride forward with passion and resilience
• Chase growth, performance, and excellence

To us, the horse is more than a symbol — it’s our partner and the heart of the sport we all love. Here’s to a year of powerful strides, strong partnerships, and new victories both on and off the field.

Wishing our riders, horses, families, and polo community a successful, healthy, and inspiring new year 🥂🐎
