About this video

Horse Hero's Fiona Price is game for most things, and polo is no exception! After a spot of bother with the knitting (should she opt for the English or Argentine method) and instruction from polo superstar Mark Tomlinson, Fiona and Reddy take to the pitch. Mark teaches Fiona how to do 'handbrake turns' and 'slide stops' and Fiona is surprised at how difficult it is to co-ordinate the right sequence of movements. In the end, the best analogy she can come up with is that after the half halt she 'skies' around the corner. The aids seem unconventional but Fiona throws caution to the wind and improves through the session. She is even persuaded to hit a ball!

Casey 21 Jul 2009 I think it's like driving a Caterham for the first time; 0 to 50 in 4 seconds! Well done Fiona & Mark, really fun to watch!
CJ 21 Jul 2009 Go Fiona - lucky you to spend the afternoon with such a nice guy, makes one want to take up Polo!
Diana 20 Jul 2009 Brilliant demo Fiona!
ASB Eventer 20 Jul 2009 Oh wow, that looked to be so much fun! I now have a hankering to try some Polo! Especially if the instructors are all as friendly and easy going as Mark Tomlinson! I love how he was cautious of Reddy's feelings at the end of the clip, very sweet!
