Thanks for the welcome. Will just be starting out with some lessons in October once it is cool enough here (it s still in the 40's and very humid). I have grown up riding and show jumping, and thought this would be the next interesting challenge! I love horses and anything that combines speed with the need for a lack of fear :-). Will keep you updated on my progress.

Thanks for the add Alfonso! We keep in contact, i work as a personal shopper and now i´m looking for new clients to attend around the world. Most of my clients are people who plays polo and  people from high society. My business is located in Madrid (Spain) but i travel around the world if its necessary.

Best

Thanks Alfonso. I appreciate the offer of any leads for me in Southern California. I may take you up on that. I am a long time horse rider, but new to polo. So I have much to learn. But I am excited to join the sport.
