The Polo Day

A full day of Argentine countryside and polo. You learn, you play, you share an asado. You don't need to know a thing: that's what we're here for.

The day

You're going to live a day of polo

The day starts slow, with empanadas and a glass of wine, while you watch a polo match or a practice. Then you head to the field with one of our pros, who teaches you how to ride, how to handle the horse and how to hit the ball. It's not a demonstration: you do it yourself.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need to know how to ride?

    No. Most people who come have never been on a horse. The lesson starts from scratch and there's always a pro by your side.

  • Is it dangerous?

    The horses we use for the lesson are trained for exactly this: they're calm and know what they're doing. You stay at a walk until you feel comfortable. Helmet on at all times.

  • Will I see a professional match?

    Yes. The day includes a match between the club players, and you watch it from the front row.

  • Is transportation included?

    It's not included, but we arrange it: you can come on your own or we can pick you up at your hotel, at an extra cost. Tell us where you're coming from and how many of you there are, and we'll sort it out.

  • How many people can come?

    From one person. For large groups, message us and we'll arrange it.

  • Do you speak English?

    Yes. We host players and visitors from the United States every season.

  • What if it rains?

    If the field isn't in good condition, we cancel and refund you in full. If you prefer, we move it to another date. With moderate rain that doesn't affect the field, the day goes ahead.

  • When can I come?

    We're open most of the year and it's best to book ahead. Message us with the date you have in mind and we'll confirm availability.

  • How much does it cost?

    Message us and we'll send you the price, depending on the option, the number of people and whether you need transportation.

  • Can I bring kids?

    Yes, as long as they can be on a horse with a pro by their side. Tell us their ages and we'll tell you how we'll plan the day.

  • How do I book and pay?

    Message us on WhatsApp with the date and how many of you there are. We'll confirm availability and tell you how to pay.
