Los Potreros welcomes ‘Humi’
Estancia Los Potreros is delighted to welcome Juan Manuel Pizarro, ‘Humi’, to our full-time team as horse manager and resident polo professional.
Like many Argentines, Humi has spent a lifetime around horses. He has worked both in England and more latterly in Kenya as yard manager, whilst pursuing his passion for both polo and horses in general. On the birth of his young son, Humi returned to Rio Ceballos, his local town, with his family, where he started working with us in 2006 providing guest tuition during our polo-focused weeks. Humi currently plays polo off a 3 handicap, and more recently has also taken up the exciting native sport of ‘Pato’ and is a regular participant at local competitions. Humi is a keen advocate of natural horsmanship methods, known as ´Doma Racional´ in Argentina, and his first project has been to build a round corral for his work with the horses.
We are thrilled to have Humi with us, and to benefit from his significant experience with horses - now his only challenge remains to teach Lou and Kevin to play polo properly!
