ABOUT THE HORSES

Carlitos has a large selection of quality polo ponies available suitable for complete beginners up to medium goal players. All the horses have been chosen, not only for their ability to play polo, but they were bred and brought on by individuals Carlitos has known for many years. All these people took time from the day these horses were born, right the way through their handling, breaking, schooling, riding around the farms, introduction to polo, chukkas and finally tournaments.
