![]() | Argentine Polo is considered the best
in the world, having uninterruptedly won every World Championship since
1949. The original form of the sport was spread by the old English ranchers and rapidly adopted by the Argentine gauchos, who prior to this, played "Pato", a game which they had been playing competitively since 1610. Pato was played on horseback and led them to develop strong hand-eye coordination and agile riding skills, helping them to quickly adapt to the game of polo. | ![]() |
