About Us

"Polo is an adrenaline driven sport and, as I've found it becomes addictive. The thrill of chasing the ball at high speed on such nimble ponies has led me to play professionally for the last ten years.

I was lucky, my older brothers played polo and I managed to inherit their experienced, though ageing ponies in return for hours of mucking out and grooming.

After school (and probably during my A-levels) polo was the only thing on my mind. There was no question about what I wanted to do in my gap year; I tried desperately to find an estancia where I would be welcome; this coupled with the uncomfortable Anglo-Argentine political situation led to a rather frustrating struggle even to leave the UK.
