Los Carditos · Your path into polo

You play in weeks. In a year, polo takes you around the world.

You don’t wait a year to play: within a few weeks you’re already striking the ball and playing your first chukkers. The 52-week path is what takes you further — from your first lessons to competing in tournaments and, with your handicap, playing at any club in the world. No rushing: first you master the horse, then the hit, then the game.

“A polo handicap is a passport to the world.” Winston Churchill

Led by Alejandro Guzmán de San Félix, the club’s Polo Manager.
