I had watched polo and thought it would be impossible to do that myself. Wrong! Fernando Nieto makes magic. I signed up for a day with Polo Elite. Fernando picked us up in Buenos Aires and took us to "el campo" where we learned how to ride and control a polo horse. Before the morning ended we were riding up... More

I never expected to play polo with my adult children; a game that I had loved and played with my father, so many years ago. Not only that, but I played alongside a professional, Argentine Polo player, some of the best players in the world. In retrospect, I am certain that he let me get that shot passed him! Fernando...

Buenos Aires is a large, bustling city. After spending a couple days walking around and exploring the city, my wife and I and our 20 year old daughter spent an afternoon with Fernando and his horses at Polo Elite. We had seen that almost everyone gave Polo Elite excellent reviews, and after going, I totally agree with the reviews that... More

Two of us complete beginners went for the day to ride the horses and play some basic polo. After playing we got to watch the instructor Fernando play a match which was great fun. I really recommend doing this no matter what age or ability, it was a great fun day. Toby and Lou More

We traveled with our two grown children to wedding in Buenos Aires and were looking for something to do that we could all enjoy. Polo Elite was the ideal activity. We all laughed and had a great time. Fernando is awesome as are his horses. We had never played before but the horses are so well trained and responsive that... More

My husband and I have always loved polo from afar and we were thrilled to hear you could take a lesson and learn all about running a polo estate. Our experience with Fernando was fabulous - he was so patient and yet he shared so much information. It was amazing how much you could learn from a few lessons. We... More

Fernando and his assistants at Polo Elite delivered a once and a lifetime experience. The polo grounds and horses were top notch. Fernando was an outstanding teacher and a great host to our group. When you visit Buenos Aires take the time to visit Polo Elite. You will never forget it. More

It was just excellent. Highly recommended. Fernando is a great instructor (he is also a professional player). In our small group of 4 there were people with varying degrees of riding experience but Fernando was somehow able to teach us all the basics of polo over the course of the day - we even managed a mini match in the...
