ABOUT POLO AT ESTANCIA Los Potreros - in their own words:

Country Polo

No visit to Argentina would be complete without the chance to try your hand at a game of polo. Informal polo is played once a week on the estancia (weather permitting) and is open for all guests to participate. The estancia specialises in introducing this extremely fun and highly addictive sport to guests who have not had the chance to try it before. A short lesson on the ground and some practice ‘stick and ball’ is followed by a game, set at a pace to suit riding abilities. We must warn you though
– this could be the start of an extremely expensive habit!

Polo weeks

Throughout the year we run a number of fixed date polo weeks. These are aimed at the beginner, novice or occasional polo player who wish to combine this exciting game with some fabulous riding on the estancia.

During the polo weeks, polo sessions are held every day (either morning or afternoon) and consist of tuition and ‘stick and ball’ practice, followed by some chukkas, each day focusing on particular skills, tactics and rules of the game. The week culminates in an in-house tournament, often joined by regular players from the local area.

The other half of the day may be spent riding out in our fabulous countryside, perhaps trying out the unique ‘Paso Peruano’ horse, or simply relaxing by the pool.

Additional weeks or tuition can often be arranged throughout the year, and so please ask for availability.
