Edinburgh University Polo Club

🏇✨ A few of us from the Edinburgh University Polo Club are taking on an exciting challenge this May! We’ll be running in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival and even skydiving to raise funds for the Armed Forces Equine Charity🪂🐴.

This incredible charity supports the well-being of horses and service personnel, ensuring retired military and police horses receive the care they deserve.
