“Makes it easy when you start playing ‘riding ponies’ at age 2 and hitting polo balls by age 3! In my family, polo is a tradition; I am a fifth-generation polo player. My family, both from my father's and mother's sides, founded polo in Colombia in the early 1890's. Polo is not only about being agile on the horse and scoring goals; it is about the lifestyle around it. You need to focus on healthy horses, which we carefully train throughout the year, and a team that works like clockwork. In summary, being well surrounded—horses and friends—makes it easy to be successful in such a complex and beautiful sport.” –Andrés Camacho Castilla, Arizona’s Top Polo Player
