We played polo today!!!
We arrived at the Estancia (ranch) La Rosita on Thursday evening, got on a horse (gulp!) straightaway, then yesterday we learnt how to canter. After a night hack (dark - dogs howling, couln´t see - loads of fun!!), we were offered the chance to play polo this morning - so we did!!!
Yes, we were on the horses, moving, and hitting balls, holding the reins in our left hand, the polo mallet in hte other, bashing our horses into each other, sometimes hitting the ball... GREAT FUN!!!
Those of you that are horse fans - get out here. The family who own it and run it are wonderful. Really attentive hosts, making sure we are enjoying ourselves, teaching us with infinite patience, feeding us amazing food...
It´s a working ranch. Yesterday we rounded up cattle. There´s 1400 cows here and over 100 horses. Will rave more about it later! Time for our massive lunch before we ride again then time for 3 course dinner... We came for two nights, have stayed for 3, and wish we could make it a week....
