How to Get a Head Start on the Polo Season
Posted by Emma Boers on 24th Jan 2025
With February fast approaching, you may now be thinking about booking farriers, organising stables, or placing orders for feed and shavings. It’s all go! And before you know it, it will be March; the walking sets will begin and the season will just be around the corner. Honestly… where does the time go?! That’s why, it’s time to start getting everything prepped, polished, and organised. After all, a brilliant season starts with brilliant preparation, right?
Whether you’re waiting for the horses to come in or just got polo on your mind, being ahead of the game can make all the difference. At Emita Polo, we’ve got your back with these top tips to kick off your season to a great start.
1. Prep Your Horses with Paddock Power
A healthy horse is a happy horse, and good nutrition is key to getting them ready for the season! That’s where Paddock Power Horse Lick comes galloping in.
Think of it as the ultimate all-in-one “balancer in a bucket.” It's loaded with all the good stuff - vitamins, minerals, protein - you name it, your horse needs it. The perks? Shiny coats, stronger hooves, better muscle development, and zero fizz (bye-bye, digestive drama!). Just pure, focused energy to keep your horses feeling their best.
And it doesn’t stop there - Omega-3 and Omega-6 are in the mix for immune and nervous system support, making it as safe as it is effective. Oh, and did we mention it’s cost-friendly too?
Stock up on Paddock Power now for these final few months before the horses come in, and give your ponies the VIP treatment they deserve!
2. Don’t Forget Your Yard Essentials
When your horses come in, a well-stocked, organised yard makes life SO much easier. Mucking out? Grooming? Feeding? Keeping things tidy? It’s a breeze when you’ve got the right tools by your side.
At Emita Polo, we’ve got all the yard essentials you could dream of - think sturdy wheelbarrows, heavy-duty brooms, buckets, forks, and even feed scoops! Got something specific in mind? Bet we’ve got that too.
3. Get Your Grooming Kit in Order
A solid grooming kit is an absolute must-have to keep your horses shiny, happy, and ready to smash it on the field.
From hoof picks to brushes to tack cleaning sponges, we’ve got all the goodies you need for regular grooming and TLC. Bonus: early grooming’s also a great way to spot and stop any sneaky skin issues or injuries before they become a problem.
4. Clean & Condition Your Leather Tack
Your tack is probably looking a little worse for wear after months in storage. Enter the Horseman One Step Leather Cleaner & Conditioner, or even the Glycerine Soap! This genius product lifts dirt and sweat while moisturising and protecting your leather.
From your polo boots to your saddles and bridles, a quick spruce-up will make your gear look as good as new while ensuring it’s supple and safe to use. After all, quality gear deserves quality care - don’t skip it!
