Accra Polo Club

I once posted about a place to go horseback riding here, but in reality, there are TWO places to go horseback riding.  The Accra Polo Club is the more ritzy option, and it is also very well done.  They actually have polo matches every weekend, open to the public.

Ghana was once a British colony, and the sport of polo is still a part of the culture (primarily for the British Ghanaians).  On this particular Sunday afternoon, it was a battle between locals, two matches played, families cheering them on.  Because we had no idea what to expect, it was again surprisingly good.  We sat on a patio having drinks and watched both matches - lazy Sunday afternoon.  Very low key and easy going.  The boys sat nearly the entire time just watching the horses - Drew made his way to the fence a few times to see a horse up close.  It was quite fascinating as it was our first time to witness the sport of polo. It's fun to try and find the ball in the pictures where they are in game mode.....
