About Polo-XCH

The video in the front landing page (not seen on mobiles!) shows the founder of this webpage playing within the breathtaking mountains of Arelauquen Polo Club in Bariloche, Argentina, as part of a Polo Exchange.

Inspired by this practise, he created this webpage to put in contact polo players around the world, so anyone can do Polo Exchange!

You can play your favorite sport in other parts of the world, like ski, golf or windsurf, by taking your equipment with you.. except for polo. You cannot take your horses for a polo trip, except that you are a professional player!

PoloXCH.com was born to allow non-professional polo players travel and experience international polo like a pro.

How do we do it? PoloXCH.com simply connects polo players globally, allowing them to swap their polo equipments. You allow me to play at your club for a few days, and in return, I let you play at my club. It’s a polo equipment exchange! Polo players know how frequent and easy it is to play as a guest of another polo player, using his horses and equipment.

PoloXCH.com is also the first Global Community for Polo Players. Discover polo clubs worldwide, stay updated with the latest global polo news, and participate in a player-to-player marketplace, limited to horses, saddles, bridles and mallets. Showcase and sell your preowned equipment to other players!
