Yes
First, are you from Nigeria or not?
It is expensive to own a horse and look after it properly.
There are 2 obvious places to look in Lagos
1. Bar Beach
2. Polo Club in Ikoyi
There is a third option with some friends who own horses and ride each week.
Like sailing or motorbiking, it is exclusive and you need a boat/bike/horse to be in the third group.
Have you tried the Hash Run? .
Hi Les,
Thanks for reply.... I am living in Lagos and will give the polo club a try
Bar beach?? Doesn't exist!
Please do not ride at the beaches, those horses are underfed, sick and dying!
To be safe please go to the Lagos Polo club, Ikoyi! The only other safe places to ride are other polo clubs around the country i.e. Abuja, Kaduna, Turf club, Abraka in Delta state (30mins outside Benin City), etc.
