Polo is a sport that increasingly colonizes more territories and Colombia is no exception, although its practice is still little compared to other Latin American countries and the challenges in terms of being able to access to play easily are still many, little by little It has a greater reception within the public, perhaps because of the love for horses that this region has or because of the affinity with the experience that this sport emanates, of prestige and elegance.
In Colombia to date there are four clubs in which you can practice this sport, which are located in Bogotá, Medellín and Cali; In Medellín, for example, you can practice polo at the Club Campestre, but, to attend a practice it is essential that you are a member of said club or be invited by a member, the price per share to be a member has a value of US $ 26,000 and a monthly value of US $ 400 on average.
As we well know, to play this sport it is necessary for each player to have at least six horses and a team that is made up of four people; FACT: the number of jerseys has a meaning, number one is the most offensive player and number four the most defensive.
The fields to play polo in Colombia are of good quality compared to others in nearby countries such as Argentina, the maximum reference in this sport, one of the qualities of practicing polo in Colombia, are the climatic facilities that cities like Cali and Medellín have where summer is almost 365 days a year.
However, Colombia lacks manufacturers for the items necessary in the practice of polo, which are: helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, boots, saddle and the mallet; This is why these implements must be brought directly from Argentina. It could be said that the most expensive thing about playing polo in Colombia is the acquisition of the horses and their maintenance, but, if we compare it with the prices that are handled abroad they are still below the average, as an example we can say that a horse to play polo in Colombia you can buy it for US $ 25,000 while in Argentina it is not available for less than US $ 100,000
