“This was one of the best experiences ever! What an absolutely lovely place. I came to Argentina to learn to play polo, and I left not just with a passion for the sport, but an absolute love of Argentina, and some friends for life. At Palo Alto the laid back attitude is all about inspiring confidence and having fun while learning to play. The ponies are fantastic (my favourites were Louis Vuitton and Hurricane). I was so lucky that the weather allowed me to play every day, with stick and ball practice in the morning and some exciting practice chukkas with visiting professionals in the afternoon, interspersed with a dip in the pool and a siesta of course! The accommodation is gorgeous, and lovely Veronica, the housekeeper, provides fantastic home cooked food. But perhaps the very best part of my stay was making such fantastic friends. Emily and Leo are truly awesome, the grooms fantastic, and the other guests were so lovely to hang out with. I have never felt more myself than when on the back of a horse riding through the dusk with lightening bugs flickering over my ponies ears. I loved my time at Palo Alto so much I extended my stay from 3 weeks to a full month. I left my heart in Argentina, and I’m counting down the days til I can go back.”
