Mikey Howe
Mikey is a third generation polo player and started playing at the tender age of 5. He has played all over the world and represented England on many occasions, achieving a 5 goal handicap in Argentina at the age of 22 and becoming infamous for his 60 yard (and occasional 5B!) penalties. Mikey now plays off 4 goals and has his string of ponies based here at the club. He continues to play professionally alongside teaching and in the small amount of time he has left he is dedicated to his other passion, retraining racehorses for polo.

Lorna Broughton
Lorna is also a third generation polo player and learnt to ride on home bred polo ponies on her grandparents farm in the new forest. Polo was never her intended career however and Lorna is a qualified Equine Vet with further qualifications in Equine Chiropractic and Acupuncture. We are lucky to have Lorna by the side of the pitch in case of emergencies and our ponies are always under her careful eye. Alongside her career Lorna has always managed to keep a few of her own horses and has achieved a 0 goal outdoor handicap and 4 goal ladies handicap. Having moved to Longdole Lorna intends to dedicate more of her time to training the next generation of polo players and is particularly interested in getting more women into this fantastic sport
