RIDER PROFILE CAMILA LASTRILLA
“In polo, you see some horses naturally collect themselves and others that prefer moving with their necks stretched out. There's no force involved to "collect" each and every horse. There is great respect to allow the horse to settle into their most comfortable form in order to perform at their best.”
Creator of Praderas Polo and manager of Globalport polo tournament tell us how she lives, breathes and sleeps dreaming of polo.
