Niagara Polo 2022

WELCOME TO NIAGARA POLO!

What an experience to witness the challenging game of Polo on the historic Commons, where the King’s Dragoon Guards played during their stay, 1838-1842, and the Royal Canadian Dragoons played in the 1930s. Although the games were for the spectator’s enjoyment Polo was a training tool for the cavalry who honed their riding skills on the field, carrying a mallet in one hand rather than a sword. Polo Niagara is a public demonstration match played on one of the most historic sites in Canada - the Niagara Common. Polo was played on this field by military officers and gentlemen and it has long-served as a training ground for Canadian soldiers preparing to go to war.
