"He is a gifted teacher with a special knack for introducing beginners to the game, although many of the guests are rated players who come to sharpen their skills" ...Polo Players Edition magazine

For the past 50 years, Argentina has been the mecca of the polo world. It has produced more top players, horses and teams than all other nations combined. To indulge yourself in the ultimate polo experience, Estancia El Venado in Argentina is a must. Instruction is in English and is tailored to the individual's needs by El Venado's owner Federico Cendoya, a 5-goal pro.

Beginners and Youth

Although polo enthusiasts of all levels enjoy El Venado's facilities, Federico provides specially prepared programs for beginners of all ages. This includes selected ponies, gear and polo exercises to adapt to the individual need and maximize the learning experience.

The  Polo School

Estancia El Venado Polo School has hosted polo players for over 15 years. The vast facilities available provide a complete experience that is sure to delight any polo enthusiast. Two regulation size polo fields with superb bermuda grass provide the perfect pitch for play. With over 175 horses, guests are provided with mounts to individually match and improve their level of riding and polo skills. The number of guests are kept small, maximizing individual instruction.

"El Venado is not a commercial facility where guests are isolated and only meet pros during polo. Instead, guests are treated like members of the family." ...Spur magazine

The Estancia

Located 165 km from Buenos Aires, Estancia El Venado comprises 2500 acres on prime grassland in the fertile Argentine pampas. Rich in history and tradition, it was built in 1878. For four generations, it has been and continues to be a family-owned and operated ranch. English speaking family members live on the ranch and often accompany guests on non-polo activities.

El Venado is a working ranch home to more than 1000 head of cattle, crops, and an active polo breeding and selling operation. Guests often decide to participate in farm operations such as cattle driving. The two-house hacienda has modern conveniences that provide a level comfort difficult to match in the rural Argentine pampas.
