Nacho Figueras’ Guide to Polo

Vanity Fair published an article/interview with Nacho Figueras last May that’s a fun read. In the article, Nacho answers questions like:

• How would you explain polo to someone who is watching the sport for the first time?
• What are the responsibilities of the four players on the field?
• When are fouls called?
• How exactly does a polo player find him or herself on a polo team?
• Do you own the horses or does the team own the horses?
• What’s the difference between low-, medium-, and high-goal polo?
• How do you achieve a higher handicap?
• Given that you model for Ralph Lauren, does polo have spectator etiquette when it comes to what to wear?
• Do polo players balance the glamorous aspect of the sport with concentrating on their game?
