New from Oct 2011 – Polo holidays in association with Prima Polo
Estancia Los Potreros and Prima Polo
Beginning October 2011, we are thrilled to be starting an association with Prima Polo to run polo holidays at the estancia from October through to March. Under the expert guidance and instruction of Juan Manuel Pizarro, guests will have the chance to improve and hone their polo skills, at possibly the most unique polo destination in Argentina, whilst soaking up the scenery, culture and hospitality for which Estancia Los Potreros is famed.
About Prima Polo
Prima Polo is based during the British summer months from Silver Leys Polo Club in Bury Green. It offers a range of services for polo players and those wishing to learn, including livery, pony breaking and schooling, polo lessons and pony hire and sales. During the British off season, Prima Polo is based from Córdoba in central Argentina, running polo holidays from Estancia Los Potreros.
Juan Manuel Pizarro (Humi)
Virtually born on a horse, Humi started playing polo in Argentina from an early age, and first played polo in the UK in 1999 for the high goal Metropolitan Polo Team. In 2001, he became a professional horse trainer and polo player based in Kenya and playing in Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Tanzania. In 2007 he returned to Argentina, when the relationship with Estancia Los Potreros first began, managing the estancia’s polo and trail riding activities. He returned to the UK in spring 2008, playing at Silver Leys Polo Club as a freelance professional, before becoming Polo Manager for Silver Leys in 2009.
Humi now runs Prima Polo in tandem with managing Silver Leys Polo Club in the summer season, returning for the winter season to his home in the hills of Córdoba in Argentina to run polo holidays and spend time on his hobby of ‘natural horsemanship’ horse breaking.
Many of our guests will already have met Humi, both on and off the polo ground, and we are sure most would agree that he is an inspiring coach and horseman.



Hughie Arbuthnott and Clare Hilton are coming out to spend the season working with us, by then they will have just got married and embarking on a new chapter in their lives here with us at Los Potreros.
