PAISANO
POLO ACADEMY was founded by Ronnie Lim in Singapore in 2012. Ronnie's
passion is polo, and he started the polo academy so that people in Asia
could learn to play polo easily without all the hassle and expense of
joining a polo club. He wants people to feel comfortable and come to learn
the basics of polo, and then they can go to join a club later after they
like the game and know how to play.
works with the horse. At first, Paisano Andrada was not allowed to play
polo; his job was to train horses for the owners of the Curulaman Estancia
in Coronel Suarez. Then one day, they needed a player, so he was allowed on
the field with no stick and told to "just take the man." The first time they
gave him a stick, he scored 12 goals. In 6 years, he went from from 0 to 9
goals in Argentina (and 10 goals in the rest of the world). He won the
Argentine Open 6 times on 6 different teams. He was on the winning Argentine
Polo team in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, and at age 64, he was still
playing off 4 goals.
If
you are interested in buying polo horses in Asia, then you can come to
Paisano Polo Academy in Singapore and talk to Ronnie. He can connect you
with the breeders in Argentina, or perhaps, you can buy horses that are at
the Paisano Polo Academy in Singapore. The Argentine polo horse is the
finest horse in the world for polo, because it is fast, turns quickly, and
can stop quickly. The skills necessary to ride a polo horse are different
from a show jumping or dressage horse, and also the polo horse is stronger
and less prone to injury.
