Many visitors who’ve come to El Venado Polo School have fallen in love with Nutria. She may be small in size but Nutria is one of the speediest and most fun polo ponies to play, especially for young players of people who are new to the game and want a seasoned horse to make it easy!
Age:
10 years
Height:
50 mallet (about 14 hh)
How she got her name:
Her colour – she’s the colour of a nutria, which is a kind of golden-brown rodent.
Where she came from:
Fede bought Nutria as a green pony when she was just 2 years old, and she was made into a polo pony by Santi Mendivil. She’s been in El Venado’s Polo School since then, and when she was younger, she also played in tournaments with Fede’s grandson.
Why we love her:
She’s very tame and easy going – you can just jump on and not worry about a thing. Nutria is also very handy and fun to play!
