He works magic to divide between practice and study, but he manages it. “At night, when I rest my head on the pillow, I don’t even have time to think. I fall asleep quickly. Rest is essential to get up well each day for training,” he said.

And so it is. “I love horses. Playing. Being in contact with nature. The field is my place in the world. Luckily life gave me the opportunity to be a polo player, to meet great people who helped me in my daily progress, but I also owe all this to my family. They are my mainstay and if I am here it is thanks to my people, “he said.
