Getting to know you! - Lia Salvo
Q1: How did you first get in to Polo?
I started playing polo because of my dad, Hector. He was 6 goals, but not a professional polo player. He’s always been a big fan of horses and it rubbed off on me.
Q2: Favourite Polo Event in the world?
St Moritz snow polo (although I have never been, I have always dream about it, so hoppefully one day!)
Q3: Your top 3 items to take in your luggage when travelling?
My sunscreen, my whites and my La Martina polo boots with silicon protection padding
Q4: Best advice any one ever gave you?
My dad always used to say to me, "work to be the best one, but never think that you are", and "the more I practice, the luckier I get."
Q5: Your moto to live by?
Do more of what you love, do more of the things that make you happy.
Q6: Your favourite La Martina piece?
My La Martina boots with white silicon protection - not only do they look really smart, they really protect me while I'm playing!
Q7: Your dream holiday destination?
My farm in Argentina
Q8: Favourite Polo Club?
Santa María in Sotogrande
Q9: Favourite Polo Pony?
Malapata Anni
Q10: In 5 year’s time I would like to be……… (finish this sentence!)
...still playing polo, with hopefully maybe 1 or 2 children of my own! Spending six months of the year in Europe and the other six in Argentina. That would be just perfect!
