Lawrence that is a bit harsh on Flaco, you could have at least let him stay in the stables with the horses! But looks like Flaco is going to have to take on a new name of Anastasia or Drizella for not letting Cinderella go to the Ball

The World of Polo.........or...........Flakes Playground!

I have been very fortunate to meet some amazing people through polo and have made many friends, I even met and fell in love with my husband in between several hot and steamy chukkas. Although, I have never been a "player" as such, mainly due to my unpredictable and uncontrollable need to cross the line of the ball and let’s not even speak about my very colourful verbal diarrhea. I still feel I qualify as a bit of a "polo chick".
In 1998 I even got myself a sexy, fit instructor, and attended ladi… Continue

Sad News, Bryan Morrison Dies

Having received the sad news that Bryan Morrison has died, my thoughts immediately turn to his family.
As many know Bryan had a serious polo incident about three years ago which left him in a critical condition.

Well done rain meditators!!!

Well it seems that the meditation and the rain dances worked! Even if you didnt all have a go, some of us certainly did, because after 8 months of drought, but after only two days of meditation, we were rewarded with a fabulous un-predicted storm last night here in Pilar, followed by a decent rain fall which continues as I write. This demonstrates to the cynics here that the power of collective thought truly brings physical changes! Well Done to the rainwishers!

Let's organise a massive rain dance!

Dear friends,

while the season ends in the UK, those of us that live/play/work/travel in/to Argentina are now looking forward to the Argentine season. Yesterday was the first official day of spring, but sadly the flowers are having a very tough time blooming and generally making the place look like it is in fact "springtime".
Usually at this time of the year in Argentina, we should be looking at lush green fields and bringing our ponies in to get fit. Sadly, thats not about to happen this week,… Continue

My so dear Laurence no news good news, I saw that you had answered to Tommy Ezcurra, and you are arriving on October 23rd. I hope that everything is all right with you and that you will bring wonderful news. I am wearing a boot because I have a tendinitis and two disc hernias on my back which are quite painful, but I try to be optimistic all the time, I look forward for your return, my regards to Sebastian and a big kiss to you.
