Hi
Polo here in the Hindukush Mountains of Chitral is not just for the rich. Despite being dubbed 'the game of kings', in Chitral, Polo is not an elitist sport, often played in village square by people from all walks of life a village farmer, a poli…
I think that everyone's wonderful, enthusiastic advice, about starting at the bottom etc, is missing the most important point - would you let this bloke groom for you?
Well, if you would, offer him a job taking care of your! ponies.

Alfonso Ruben Giannico's path to polo is laudable. However, assuming that you are no longer young, and perhaps you work and have other responsibilities, may I offer you another alternative. Perhaps it may not even apply to your location, but it is c…

I was…
it sounds like philosophic discussion guys, to be honest, to play Polo is NOT for poor people, everything else is a fairytale, but you don´t have to be rich. cheers to all of you ;-)
Never say never, I started my polo career at 53 years and am enjoying every minute. I spend every spare time I can stick and balling and on weekends or when we can playing chukkas, horses are wild African stock horses from western Sudan (prized in N…
Polo is a game for both rich and poors. For those people whose sentiments for the kingly sport are rich, they will keep on playing it plus those who are rich. However, I do believe that being rich always suits a polo player.
Partner where there is will there is a way. You have to get into the water if you want to swim.

maybe playstation…
PS im not rich or poor. ive ridden for yrs and spent my money wisely on lessons and visited argentina shopping in BA , and stayed with Alex Olmos on a block forntnight at his ranch in curozo.

I think its for all folk. some of the best players are from very normal backgrounds and get sponsored by wealthy folk to enable them to pay subs and purchase polo gear etc because they are dedicated and good players,some are rich and play well some…
We should start a Alfonso Fan Club....Great advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers!
Yea, Ricardo and I are good friend now, along with the rest of the family. They are members of the Santa Maria de Lobos Club, so we play a lot together and I have also played at the beach farm. Have we crossed paths and not know it? I am much better…

Pero!!!!!! si deverda quieres meterte en el tema del polo primero, como en todo oficio teines que empezar desde abajo. Si tienes amor y trabajar duro para alguin que tiene caballos, quien sabe lo que puedes conseguir.
