Rentals Buenos Aires

If you go to Buenos Aires, you are going to hear a lot about ‘futbol’ known in other parts of the world as soccer. You will also hear plenty about polo. The whole of Buenos Aires and surrounding areas are dotted with polo clubs and polo venues.
This is a very ancient sport. By the fifth century BC polo was being played as a training game for the Persian cavalry. It became very popular throughout the British Empire, especially in India. As the Empire diminished and faded away, the sport remained and spread throughout most of the world. With the remarkable horsemanship of the gauchos in Argentina, it was naturally appealing in this country.
Marcos Uranga, who was President of the Argentina Polo Association, was the leader in creating an International Polo Championship in the 1980’s. From 1987 until now this Championship is held approximately every three years in various countries in the world. This has unified the sport and created an international system of rankings.
Argentina currently lies second in the world team rankings. Brazil is first and Chile third, United States fourth and England fifth.
Chile are the current world champions. In the eight world championships so far held from 1987 to 2008, Argentina has won three times, come second once and third twice. In the individual rankings, 39 of the World’s 50 top ranked polo players are currently Argentinian. We can see from this that Argentina has an overwhelming influence in the sport of polo. The first Championship was held in Buenos Aires (which Argentina won) and the ninth Championship is due to be held at Estancia Grande, Argentina in 2011.
Polo is a game played on horseback, the two opposing teams consisting of four players each. The field is typically about 300 x 200 meters in size. The game is played using a long handled mallet to hit a small white ball, the object being to get it through the opposing team’s goal posts. The game is played at hair-raising speed, usually at a full gallop with lots of dodging and darting and swinging around in different directions as both teams chase the ball. Because of the excessive speed, ponies are frequently changed during the match, sometimes after each chukka. A match usually consists of about six chukkas, each about seven minutes long. A top rated polo player may need from four to twelve ponies in full training, kept as fit as athletes. This is why it is such an expensive sport and why it is mostly rich or sponsored players who take part.
People come to Argentina from all over the world in connection with polo. If you are one, and you select a Buenos Aires hotel or other accommodation rentals in Buenos Aires, you will find it an ideal base of operations, whether you have come for high quality tips and instruction, to seek out and buy some the hard and tough polo ponies, or simply to watch the top polo players in action. This is the polo fan’s Mecca.
