Hola!

Just wanted to let you all know what a fantastic time was had in Argentina when I went to visit the Leap team last week at the polo Estancia where they are spending the next 6-10 weeks. The girls were on top form as we learnt the ropes at the polo stables, practiced our stick and balling (some for the first time- and very impressive they were too, I might add!) and got to grips with the gaucho culture of ‘mate’ and mouth watering Argentine bbq. Before long they were chasing the ball up and down the polo field like pros!

The sweat poured as temperatures soared about 37 degrees…a welcome change from snow, but a bit of a shock to the system! This has been one of Argentina’s hottest Summers on record and after a long day’s Polo and riding everyone was relieved to jump into the splash pool and cool off, and let the sun worshipping (and farmers tan antidote) commence! Sunshine, sombreros and polo school, the perfect combination!
