The year after I registered for an initiation week in Argentina, the year after I went to South Africa (Val de Vie Polo Club) where I continued playing for a few weeks every winter. I joined National Polo Club near Montreal Canada in 2012.
Favorite thing about polo: Polo is a very addictive sport for horse riding and team sport enthusiasts (some are saying: ‘Only health or poverty can take you away from polo’) I love the sport as it’s respectfully competitive on the field and warmly friendly off the field.

How did you get into polo? I have been riding horses since early childhood. Growing up with two bothers and a 66 acre horse farm in central Illinois, my brothers and I spent our youth in Pony Club and helping our mother run a Thoroughbred breeding and foaling operation. The whole family began playing polo after a very serendipitous chance encounter with the St. Louis Polo Club. It was the perfect fit for three young men who wanted more from horse riding. For over a decade the three of us were mainstays of the club driving our gooseneck rig with 9 ponies two hours to St. Louis twice a week in addition to anchoring the St. Louis traveling tournament teams throughout the Midwest and beyond. As life and careers unfolded, polo was left to the memories on my parents’ award table. Two decades later, with a horse-loving thirteen year old daughter who now wants to play polo, I have been inspired to dust off my old equipment (quite literally) and get back into the game.
What do you like most about polo? For me, polo has always been a fantastic combination of power, speed, control and comradery. I am very much looking forward to playing with the Arizona Polo Club and my daughter.

How did you get into polo? I have always really loved horses and asked my parents for one. When they said I had to pay for one myself, I started saving up all of my money, and, when I was nine, started my own dog treat business “Joyful Bone”. The money I made from Joyful Bone allowed me to buy my own horse “Story” and to pay for all the fencing and supplies necessary to keep her in our backyard. I wanted to give polo a try because I knew my dad used to play, so I swung a mallet on my grandma’s old polo ponies and immediately wanted to do more. What do you like most about polo? Polo is a really fun way to spend time with my dad and our horses.

I grew up around horses and always had a passion for them. My family owns dairy and beef cattle farms in Colombia. My grandfather bread quarter mile, Belgians and “paso-fino” horses at the farms. In my early teenage years I did horse jumping. I showed “paso-fino” horses at competitions
As far as polo: never swung a mallet, until Diego and Felipe taught me. Hoping I can transfer my Golf, tennis, soccer and squash skills to the polo field. In the end, It’s all about keeping your knees bent and your eye on the ball, shouldn’t be that different! 🙂
