Horse Factory
www.argentinapolo.com
The Pampa fertile grasslands
of Central Argentina are where most of the polo horses that play in Buenos
Aires and around the world come from. Most people don't get out here when
they come to Argentina, because of the language barrier, and they don't
know where to go. The Horse Factory, as we call it, is the region 200
kilometers in every direction from the city of Cordoba. This is a region
in the heart of Argentina, that is far safer than Buenos Aires, where you
find friendly and honest people. The idea behind the Horse Factory is to
put you directly in touch with the people who make the polo horse and to
help you decide for yourself which horse will be best for you. A polo
horse is like a wife (or husband). If you order one by mail, you might be
happy for a few nights, but it is difficult to find the right one that you
will be happy with for a long time. You have to go and look for yourself.
The way we start this process is have you fill out this form, and then we
will invite you to visit some farms in Central Argentina. You will be a
guest and you can learn how the polo horse is made. You can try them, play
polo, and find a horse that suits you. We have two seasons: Spring (Sep,
Oct, Nov) and Fall (Feb, Mar, Apr). If you wish, we can also combine your
trip with some polo lessons, some polo tournaments at various clubs and
Estancias in the region, some riding in the mountains near Cordoba, and
perhaps visits to the Open tournaments at Tortugas, Hurlingham and Palermo
(Oct, Nov, Dec). Prices for what we call Patrons polo horses start at
US$3,000 to US$8,000. The higher the handicap level to be played; the more
expensive the horse. We also can arrange shipping by aircraft for your
horse. It is most cost effective to ship 4 horses together, because the
container size is for 4 horses. In any event, if you are interested in
making friends in Central Argentina and learning more about finding good
polo horses at a better price, we look forward to hearing from you --
