Talk about polo and you are bound to talk about Argentina. The best players in the world are almost all Argentines and the biggest event in polo are the finals of the Palermo Open in Buenos Aires. The Palermo Open is one of the Triple Corona tournaments being played from October up to mid December. About 6 teams of the best polo players in the world compete against each other, simply for the honor of winning.
There are several explanations why there are so many Argentine polo players of such a high level. The main reason is that the infrastructure for polo is very good in Argentina. There is a lot of farm land, Argentina being an agricultural society. Therefore there are lots of horses and a lot of people start riding at an early age. Polo is like a family sport which is played in the country on weekends between brothers, uncles, nephews and friends.
This gives you many able horse riders who have a few horses and play only on weekends on an amateur level. From there on it is a relatively easy step to become a professional. With family support and the right infrastructure the young guys can try to make it in the fast world of polo.
