La Estancia Polo Club<br />
Polo was first introduced to Hungary during<br />
the millennial celebrations in 1896 and the<br />
Hungarian team later went on to defeat<br />
Germany at the 1936 Olympics. But as with<br />
other equestrian sports, polo fell dormant<br />
during communism only to be revived in the<br />
1990s. In 1998 La Estancia Polo Club was born.<br />
Situated 20 minutes from <strong>Budapest</strong> near the<br />
town of Etyek, Estancia features two fields for<br />
polo matches while another is reserved for<br />
stick and ball practice. Come with your teams<br />
to play a match with the assistance of a stable<br />
of Argentine-bred ponies or sign up for a<br />
riding lesson led by qualified instructors. Polo<br />
clinics are also available for beginners. Or if<br />
you simply want to watch, scheduled matches<br />
provide a wonderful opportunity to see and be<br />
seen. The club is open from May to October.<br />
