Ainsley Polo

Ainsley Polo is a polo club located in Pukekohe, New Zealand. Founded by two brothers, Ross and Kel Ainsley, who possess a strong passion and talent for horses and polo, the club has become renowned for its exceptional ponies and top-level competition. Ainsley ponies have participated in prestigious events around the world, including the International Cartier Day at Guards Polo Club in the UK, the Argentinean Open in Buenos Aires, and New Zealand's own Polo Open.

Kel and Ross Ainsley, originally from New South Wales, Australia, cultivated their love for horses and competing from a young age. They honed their skills in various equestrian disciplines, including polo, show jumping, and polocrosse. Eventually, they settled in New Zealand 20 years ago, drawn to the country's rich supply of high-quality horses, particularly the New Zealand Thoroughbred, which has proven to be an integral component of successful polo teams.

While Kel established a permanent residence in New Zealand, overseeing their home farm, Ross continued to travel and compete internationally, immersing himself in the game and studying its evolution in different countries. This combination of managing their operation and remaining active players in the international polo scene has solidified their expertise and garnered respect within the polo industry.

Ainsley Polo offers a wide range of services and experiences for polo enthusiasts of all levels. Their Polo Academy provides excellent tuition for players seeking to enhance their skills or novices looking for an introduction to the sport. The academy offers both group and individual lessons, as well as corporate group sessions.
