THE TEAM

DEAR TEAM,

I am so thankful for my team both on the road and at home. With out each of you, my horses and I would not be thriving at the Grand Prix Dressage Level. It certainly does take a village! However, walking into "work" each morning never feels like work, when greeted with soft muzzles and smiling faces.

It is my duty to ensure our facility is approachable and that Dressage is enjoyable. I feel that it is imperative each and every day my client dismounts with a positive experience while gaining greater knowledge.

Saul Benitez

PROFESSIONAL POLO PLAYER

Horses have run through his blood and captured his heart since a young boy, back in his home country of Argentina.

Argentina has long been regarded the mecca of Polo.

This is where the horse crazy young man slowly began to figure out how the horse would react, learn, heal, thrive and ultimately progress into a professional polo player.

This has lead Saul to an incredibly successful career at Stirling Hill Farm.

Saul competes on the Stirling Hill Farm Team including special charity events and Polo Canada invitational tournaments. Saul rides and trains polo ponies (including polo ponies owned by members of the prestigious Toronto Polo Club). The expertise that Saul has acquired over the years allows him to coach other members of the team and polo community. Not only does Saul train and compete all of the polo ponies but also oversees the operations of Stirling Hill Farm.

With his fine attention to detail and horses always come first policy, he has clearly proven the recipe for success.

It is a definite must to check out Saul and the team at a polo match!
