Height: 15.4hh Age: Seven-years-old Colour: Bay Sex: Gelding Owned and played by: Manel Plaza De Ayala Tournament: The Duke of Wellington Final at Guards Polo Club Where is he from/breeding? I bred him at my farm in Argentina. How long have you had him? I have had him since he was born, he is the son of a mare I played for years in Argentina. What are his strengths? He is very handy and smooth. How has he gone this season? Due to Coronavirus this is the first tournament that we played, so he has started the season well. Has he won any other Best Playing Pony Awards? No, I brought him last year and I played him in The Prince of Wales and then I didn’t play him anymore, so this is his first one.
What are your plans for him in the future? Hopefully I can play him for the next few years here in England.
Describe him in a few words? Handy, powerful and he has a very good mouth.
Does he have any special quirks? No, he doesn’t.
