A fascinating discipline, which enhances the relationship between man and horse”. “I hope that today is an opportunity to promote this fascinating sport – added the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi –. The great merit of FISE and Sport and Health should be underlined, as they contribute to giving a further boost to a movement that deserves attention”.
In the long evening of Italia Polo Challenge, there will also be space for collaboration between two macro-disciplines that see horses as protagonists: horse racing and equestrian sports. In the spotlight there is Gardenia Secret, a six-year-old mare who, after a lifetime in the specialty of galloping. she will begin her second career in polo. “It was a crucial day, because with the contribution of MASAF, Minister Lollobrigida and Minister Abodi we presented a very important project – in fact confirmed the president of the FISE, Marco Di Paola –. I also thank Patricio Rattagan, creator of Italia Polo Challenge, who helped us achieve this goal. It will be another opportunity for equestrian sports to join forces and give horse racing horses a second chance. We hope that this practice will intensify”.
“Another exciting edition of the Rome stage of the Italia Polo Challenge has come to an end, and I can only thank all those who made this success possible – he underlined Adriano Mottageneral director of Italia Polo Challenge –.

We are happy and proud to formalize a new stage of the circuit which will take place in October in Puglia, in Borgo Egnazia.
