Three weeks ago, Texas stepped into a new chapter of his life — a fresh start, a new home, and a new discipline. After years of Western riding, he’s now learning the art and rhythm of polo. And watching him adapt has been nothing short of inspiring. Texas is living in a beautiful new stable that feels more like a sanctuary than just a place to train.

After heavy rainfall, the stables were underwater, and we had no choice but to move them to safety. The whole process was rushed and stressful, but we managed to get everyone out.

We decided to see if he had the potential to be a polo horse, and let me tell you, he amazed me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Texas has always been a horse with character. His steady demeanor and natural athleticism make him a joy to work with, but … Read More

There’s something truly magical about the bond between a person and their horse, and Texas is living proof of that. Our story began on December 24, 2019, when he trotted into our lives as a wide-eyed, gangly 10-month-old foal. I still remember that winter day vividly—clutching a map to guide us to him, excitement bubbling as we ventured out to meet the horse who would grow into my best friend. Texas is a bay gelding, his sleek coat a deep, … Read More
