Biography
Polito Pieres is a member of Argentina's most storied polo dynasty and a 10-goal player whose career has been defined by consistent excellence at the highest levels of the Argentine and international circuits. As a bearer of the Pieres name — a family that has produced multiple 10-goalers across generations — Polito carries both a remarkable genetic inheritance and the weight of extraordinary expectation that comes with it. He has met both with distinction. His development followed the path typical of Argentina's elite polo families: horses from the earliest age, competitive play in childhood, rapid progression through junior circuits, and graduation to the senior Argentine Open while still a teenager. The Pieres family's deep knowledge of polo — its technical requirements, tactical complexity, and physical demands — provided an educational environment that no formal coaching programme could replicate. On the field, Polito is a complete player in every sense: an accurate and powerful hitter, a secure and elegant rider, and a tactically astute competitor who understands the geometry of polo at a level that only the very best possess. He has played for and captained teams in the Argentine Open — winning the tournament multiple times — and has competed internationally at Guards Polo Club, Cowdray Park, and the International Polo Club Palm Beach with equal distinction. His legacy within the Pieres family's contribution to Argentine polo is substantial, and his name is spoken with the same respect in polo circles worldwide as the most celebrated members of his remarkable family.
