Horseback Riding and Polo in Buenos Aires

I had always wanted to try Polo. Booked a day at the Argentina Polo Day and had the most fantastic time! We were collected from our Buenos Aires hotel and taken to the Estancia. We watched a professional Polo match and practised hitting the balls with the mallets whilst on the ground. We then had a fabulous BBQ (Asado) lunch with lots of meat, salads and Malbec! We then got our gaiters and hats on, picked up our mallets and headed out to the horses. We did some warm up lessons and then played a mini game, split into 2 teams. After the match, we had a gallop through the woods back to base. We ended the day with ice cream by the pool. Juanse and Zorro were perfect hosts and we had a fabulous time. Definite highlight of the holiday!

It was amazing to galop through the pampa’s. Juanse was great and kind guide. He’s relaxed and knows what he’s doing. Would definitely reccomend it.

Fantastic experience! You are already picked up and brought which is very nice because the ranch is far outside the city. You will be welcomed on a beautiful estate surrounded by nature with all meadows and beautiful views and many horses. We were accompanied all day by Juanse, a very friendly, helpful, patient and sociable young man who made sure everyone had a good time. After breakfast quietly fitted the helmet etc and then to the horses. We rode for over 2 1/2 hours and no one in our group could ride except 1 person but have always felt safe. It was a beautiful ride where we drove along paths and through fields. Then a very well catered Argentine grill lunch under the porch together with the owner and polo players. An experience in itself. For who wanted the opportunity to play the polo game where Juanse and 3 more supervisors made it a game and for who still wanted the opportunity to race and gallop and finally a short finishing trip. There was plenty of time taken everywhere, never a rushed feeling. Everything very relaxed. Finally, a photo opportunity! What Welcoming! An unforgettable day!

Everything was truly amazing. Prompt pickup from my accommodations and a seamless drive. Upon arrival we were provided with some breakfast and then given some instruction and protective gear before meeting our horses. We then took a long ride where we got to test our abilities to our comfort levels and get used to our horses movement. We then took a break for lunch which was absolutely delicious and we got to meet some of the members of the Polo club who were welcoming. It was a really great feeling of community. Then we resaddled for our attempt at Polo, which is harder than expected but a lot of fun. We finished off the day with another shorter ride around the fields while the sun was starting to set. When we finally parted from our horses we had some refreshing iced cream and then shortly after journeyed back to our accommodations. It was a great day that I will not soon forget. Also lots of thanks to Juanse and Leo for all their attentions and efforts through the day. Juanse is a great group leader.

We had a glorious day with Tommy our host when both riding out and partaking in a fun game of polo. The day was split with a delicious bbq’d lunch . This trip is being is to be highly recommended for horse lovers , both beginners and the more advanced alike.

We had an incredible day at the polo ranch! The horses were beautiful and well-trained, catering to all levels. Juanse and Sebastián were fantastic,super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the ride and polo playing so much fun. The lunch was delicious, and the whole experience felt so well organized and genuine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable day outdoors!

We had a great day! Nice location, great food and a fine guide (Tommy) an absolute must! Thanks!

Fantastic! I went with my three kids (11, 9, 8) and we had a wonderful time. Our guide, Tommy, was great with the kids and they want to go back. The horses are well trained and cared for. We are intermediate/advanced and had a great time learning to play polo and seeing the wildlife along the trail ride. Tommy also gave a great tour of their small museum covering tribal and gaucho history. We had great empanadas, dulce de leche, and ice cream. Can’t beat it! This is my second time (the first was polo with many adult, beginner riders) and we all plan to go back again. I feel this is a great way to experience Argentine culture!

Juan and Sebastian, as well as the rest of the crew, made our day a very special and fun one. During the day we were treated as royalty. We started with breakfast, then went riding for a few hours and came back to a beautiful BBQ lunch. Later on we enjoyed a lesson of polo. Our horses were sweet and in for the ride. Thank you to everyone involved!

Our guide provided great insights into the true gaucho lifestyle. We loved the polo match on sand and seeing the grass polo fields afterwards; we loved the asado lunch, and we enjoyed the company, what could be better than that?!
