This is a long one with lots of pictures, so you should probably get that cup of coffee or tea ready, then sit back and enjoy 🙂 As always the Chestertons Polo in the Park weekend went by way too fast, with a total of 10 polo matches featuring 310 polo ponies and 28 polo players, gorgeous #MyPoloStyle outfits on the sidelines, over 30.000 spectators, countless bottles of Lanson Rosé champagne and the best street food and shopping London has...
The most prestigious of polo cup finals: The Cartier Queen’s Cup Final had us all on our toes on last Saturday afternoon at the Queen’s Ground of Guards Polo Club. The contenders were team Dubai and team La Indiana, and they presented the audience with an incredible match of two entirely different halves.
New team La Indiana takes win over undefeated team King Power Foxes and goes on to the Cartier Queen’s Cup Final on Saturday. Yesterday was a day of surprises, from the weather changing every 5 minutes to the result of the second semifinal match played at Guards Polo Club. Anyone who has been following La Indiana, the new team in the Cartier Queen’s Cup, could see that they have the horse power and skills and they work great as a...
It is almost time!!! Time for the biggest polo party of the London summer! Chestertons Polo in the Park begins next Friday, June 3rd and I am clearly very excited about it. Last year I flew in from Bahrain, the two years prior to that I hopped over on an Emirates jumbo jet from Dubai. This year I will make the trek all the way from Chelsea, London, most likely in an uber. Haha. Whatever it takes, from wherever I am...
I absolutely love to watch polo, whether from a grandstand, lunch terrace or sitting on the back of a pick-up truck I am equally delighted as I am focused on the game. The beauty and excitement of this noble sport is mesmerizing. Although I must say this past Sunday, May 15th, was quite a majestic treat. I was invited by La Martina to an exquisite lunch in the Royal Box of Guards Polo Club, as in where the actual Queen...
Thunder and rain wasn’t going to stop the very anticipated Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup 2016 held at the beautiful grounds of the Valiente Polo Farm in Palm Beach. Prince Harry was in high spirits jokingly exclaiming an ironic ”Welcome to the sunshine state!” whilst seeming fairly unbothered by the rain, but then again he is used to playing polo in the rain back home in the UK. We saw the familiar faces of polo players Kris Kampsen and Brandon...
Polo is one of the most exciting and intense sports there is, with so much action on the field, horses galloping at 60 km/h, mallets swinging and hitting a tiny ball across the 300 yards long field. And when the two best teams of the tournament meet for the featured match, the US Open Polo Championship Final, it is bound to be an explosive affair. Teams: Orchard Hill Facundo Pieres 10 Julian de Lusaretta 6 Juan Martin Nero 10 Steve...
On this Wednesday April 20th morning the sky was unsettling, as if to mirror the feelings of unnerving excitement for the two battles to be fought on the grounds of the International Polo Club Palm Beach for the Semifinal of the 112th US Open Polo Championship. Polo fans gathered from all corners of the world (and I can say this with certainty as just my little squad span nationalities from Brazilian, to French and all the way down under to...
April is a spectacular month for polo lovers in Wellington. The US Open evolves during the month and marks the end of the polo season in Florida, making it a fitting time and place to hold the Final of the Women’s Champions Tour at the Grand Champions Polo Club. The weekend tournament started with a kick-off party on Wednesday 13th at The Museum of Polo, where teams were presented, each telling us a little about themselves. It was so interesting...
Once again I had the absolute pleasure of attending the BPD Abu Dhabi event. The settings were magical and elegant, beautifully dressed women and men sipping glasses of champagne, exactly how everyone imagines a day at polo to be. It is no secret that I am a huge fan of British Polo Day, the concept behind these events is to unite Brits living abroad and locals for a fun day of polo, creating a relaxed setting for interaction and...
After almost 6 weeks of no riding I finally had some downtime and it was time to get back in the saddle for real. I booked lessons the whole week and to my initial dismay (but later joy) it was November, which if you are part of the equestrian community online means #NoStirrupsNovember and this is what I learned.
A few weeks ago I had a magical experience in the City of Angels. I was invited to the 6th annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, a very popular polo event held only twice a year, in NYC and in LA. Pretty dresses, bubbly rosé champagne and an exciting polo match with the star of polo Nacho Figueras made for a perfect Saturday afternoon in the historic Will Rogers Polo Club.
Last week was amazing! I was around polo horses a lot and the highlight: I played my first chukker!! (for non-polo people: I played in my first polo match!)
Polo is not just a sport it’s a lifestyle. Almost everyone who tries polo falls madly in love with the sport and before you know it polo is on your mind 24/7 and all conversations and actions have something to do with polo. All you want to do is get up on that pony and swing a mallet. Some people are lucky and get to play and watch polo all year around, others (like me) live in a country (Bahrain)...
The La Martina flagship store in London on Jermyn street is a place where Argentinian polo tradition meets classic British tailoring tradition. On my last trip to London I finally had the opportunity to go in for a visit (on my own initiative to see the shop and share this story, La Martina has not sponsored this post). Martin, the store manager, welcomed me to the lovely store and told me the story behind this particular La Martina location. La...
