The official Polo Season here in Buenos Aires is from September - November, but we were rather lucky recently to be invited to an off season inter club game.
One of our trainees from the TEFL programme plays polo, and while she was here doing the course her husband played polo everyday. They live in Singapore and he was here looking for another polo pony to add to his stable. So it was very interesting to hear all the ins and outs of polo, and also to learn some of the rules of the game.
The polo ground in Palermo was opened in 1928, and has a capacity for 45,000 spectators. It is the country's major stadium and is apparently one of the best places to see the international polo stars, although the day we went I didn't get to see any of those hot guys that model for the polo clothing brand!!! - maybe next time.
