My dedication for polo began a decade ago when I was introduced to my mentor from Argentina, R.E.D. brought a unique passion for polo to Hawaii. He played professional polo around the world before settling in Hawaii and sharing his knowledge to students through a UH Manoa polo program. I was one of those lucky students and he taught me everything I know.

Hawaii Polo Academy, LLC opened in 2015 three years after Enrique Diaz, the person whom first opened the doors of polo to me had left Oahu to further his dream to build a polo field in his homeland of Argentina. Diaz gifted me, his most loyal student with two horses on his departure and I've slowly grown my herd as the years went on. I've traveled across the state to play in tournaments on Maui and Hawaii Island, even spending a season with my horses at Mauna Kea Polo Club and Maui Polo Club to play. I started Hawaii Polo Academy in 2015 at the Honolulu Polo Club on the east side of the island and left to return back to the beauty of the North Shore where it all started for me. I met by other half through polo where I then decided to follow him in his journey of working the polo circuits of Colorado, Florida, Argentina and back to Hawaii. Then during COVID I was given the oppurtunity to travel and work in Wellington Florida for their season in 2021 as well as 2022 where I would learn about the professional grooming world of high goal polo. I was lucky to work in the best conditions of the Valiente Polo Barn and be surrounded by the worlds best players.

Now, based in Waialua, my school has two instructors for riding or polo lessons and nine horses. Private riding lessons are a special experince where one-on-one time with the instructor allows them to ride alongside of you for an hour. This special approach to teaching helps the student progress quicker than normal. The instructor can really hone in on directing you to learn how to ride the polo style discipline by riding next to you during private lessons. We also offer horse camps on the long school breaks and weekends, which get booked up easily as its one of the most popular things for students to do. Also "mommy and me" rides where families can come learn the process of getting the horses ready and learn to ride together.

The polo season is from April-September where clients can participate in club practices and games to further their polo skills. Off Season is a great time to hone in your polo techniques and practice polo style riding. It takes a lot of energy, time and discipline, but the outcome is quite worth it.

Book a lesson today and see for yourself the powerful feeling that only polo provides.
