New Website for Mexican Polo
I first came to the beautiful colonial town of San Miguel de Allende in the dead middle of Mexico some 6 years ago. And just like every other ex-pat (American or Canadian) I now have the same story. Within days I had fallen in love, and while some just stay, it took me 6 years to figure out how I could bring the sport and the work I love to the town that I'd lost my heart to. But here I am.

On April 3rd, I was playing in a practice game here in San Pancho and a freakin horse kicked me in an attempt to get into a ride off. It was just in front as I was approaching. Completely shattered both bones in my right leg and I've been unable to walk for five months. I hope only one more month before I can get back to both legs. I've been to San Miguel although it's been a few years. I would love to come out and see you and maybe even give a hand. Let me know if you need me to bring my hammer [smile]
Thanks for the add. How long has your club been up an running? I am interested in visiting (of course, once I can walk properly again--maybe a month or so more). Where are you located and what can I do to help? Saludos desde Vallarta!
gracias por aceptarme!!!
suerte che!!!
hasta luego!!!

I don't how much help this may be but... (I helped managed for a few years the Mty polo club) and I know that a week ago there were changes in the mexican polo federation board... maybe would be good to get in contact whit them, if you all ready did well... still if in any way I can contribute or help to contact the federation or in any other way just let know... Regards
beso grande
I don't have any actual experience starting a club, the one I currently manage already existed when I began and has a generous patron that provided the facilities that we use and maintain. I am looking into the possibility of creating a winter, indoor club here but am just starting out with that, and yes, there are challenges! I see that you have joined the Black Diamond Polo Club Group...I started a discussion there about Polo in these economic times...perhaps you could ask some questions there.
Good luck with your new club!
