Often riding events are cancelled due to inclement weather but rain, hail or shine in the arena, it\u2019s always fine,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not just going to be offering polo lessons and polo matches, the space can be used for show jumping, dressage, carriage racing, barrel racing; the arena is available to all riding disciples.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For over 25 years, Inge has been involved with polo and is looking forward to introducing the Surf Coast, Geelong region and surrounds to a sport she\u2019s so passionate about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone can come and have lessons seven days a week. We can teach polo to anybody, if you can\u2019t ride we can teach you. We run every Wednesday and Thursday, Saturday and Sunday,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got two horse rings and a pleather of horses suitable from beginner to advanced riders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With students from Geelong Grammar currently taking lessons Inge said she hopes to expand her clientele to more schools and universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolo is the best game in the world, it\u2019s adrenaline, team work, it\u2019s competitive and strategy all in one.

We\u2019ve got a show jumping competition, horsemanship displays doing some trick riding with great hospitality,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re also giving members of the public the opportunity to come along by giving away three double passes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria\u2019s first indoor polo arena Red Gum Run Arena (RGRA) at Freshwater Creek will launch August 4 and showcase a selection of some of the world\u2019s best polo riders.
