Jorge Estrada Jr.(2) has been playing polo since 1998. He was a professional Jockey for over 20 years all over United States and Canada. After retirement he was looking to be able to enjoy horses and competition and that's when he came across polo. It's what combines adrenaline rushing and the competition every chukker and that's why it makes him go out there and play polo.

Played with Memo Gracida, Adolfo Cambiaso, Facundo Pieres on other great polo players.
Diego Fernando Florez, DVM (0) has played polo since 2008 in Scottsdale. He took lessons from George Estrada III as well as Jorge Estrada Jr. for few weeks until he was able to play in chukkers and continues to learn from his team mates, videos, books and anyone that gives him advice. His background as a veterinarian helps him to have a great understanding of the horses and their response to any cues or changes in behavior.
