Buenos Aires is less than an hour's drive from the ranch, and in the evening, we might meet friends for dinner there. I get recognised a bit, but I'm lucky that polo isn't as popular as other sports. Facundo Pieres airebitebuenos Change image and share on social
I'm usually woken up by the birds and by my schnauzer, Rafa - for me that's the best start to the day. I jump out of bed, throw on some clothes, and race to the polo ground. Facundo Pieres bedbirdclothe Change image and share on social

I've seen a lot of great players that couldn't get to the top because of horses, and I've seen a lot of normal players that got higher and higher because of horses. Facundo Pieres greathavehigh Change image and share on social
In Argentina, we're surrounded by polo ponies. The farm covers roughly 170 hectares, and there are no cattle or sheep, just horses. Facundo Pieres argentinacattlecover Change image and share on social
When you get on a good horse, you just know. They are powerful, they stop quickly, they can turn in both directions, and they are fast. Facundo Pieres directionfastgood Change image and share on social
We have two trainers at the polo ground and do a mix of aerobics, gymnastics and stretches before we start riding. As polo players, it's very important for us to keep in shape. We do a bit of yoga and Pilates sometimes, too. Facundo Pieres aerobicbitegrind share on social
I've got nothing to complain about. I have to enjoy and be grateful. Lots of people would like to be in my shoes. Facundo Pieres complainenjoygrateful Change image and share on social
