Biography
Alfonso Harriott belongs to one of the most celebrated dynasties in the history of polo, bearing a surname that has been synonymous with Argentine high-goal excellence for more than half a century. The Harriott family of Coronel Suárez produced multiple generations of 10-goal players, beginning with Alfredo Harriott in the 1960s and continuing through Juan Carlos "Juancito" Harriott and into the contemporary era through Alfonso and his generation. Alfonso reached the 10-goal handicap — polo's summit — confirming that the Harriott family's capacity to produce elite players has not dimmed with the passing generations. His style of play reflects the Coronel Suárez tradition: technically precise, ferociously competitive, and grounded in horsemanship developed from childhood through the province's unique polo culture. Coronel Suárez has produced more world-class polo players per capita than any other place on earth, and the Harriott family is central to understanding why. He has competed at the Argentine Open at Palermo, the sport's most prestigious event, and has been a figure in the English high-goal season, where the Harriott name continues to be received with the reverence it has earned over decades. His partnerships within the family — competing alongside relatives who share the same DNA for polo excellence — represent one of the sport's great continuing stories. Alfonso Harriott's career ensures that the family legacy endures in the contemporary game. For Argentine polo, the Harriott name is not merely history — it is a living, competing presence at the highest level.
