The Hipwood name is synonymous in polo with Howard and Julian (Oli's father and uncle) hitting 9 goals and representing England in the 80's and 90's and still having strong connections within the polo fraternity now, here in the UK and abroad. Oli has maintained this level of success also by playing for his country and achieving a 6 goal handicap.

​

Oli is available for tuition/coaching either freelance or at Willow Grove his base in Hampshire, where there is a selection of ponies always available to try, rent and buy. He currently plays off a 5 goal handicap.
