How did you start? I'd ridden since I was very young, polo was in my family as my father (Rob) played, and I played Pony Club for many years with the Hanbury Boys.

I've been so lucky with the Hanburys, but if players don't come here they won't be seen by the Argentines who are picking the teams. There isn't any favouritism, Cambiaso will pick the best ma...Read More
