Spanish About Iridike Polo
Our Story
El nombre Iridike proviene del nombre de un caballo propiedad de la esposa de Luciano, Marina. Juntos fundaron la empresa y una marca dedicada a la marroquinería fabricada en Uruguay y a la venta o alquiler de caballos de polo. Además, fundaron una escuela de polo para principiantes que quieran aprender este maravilloso deporte.
Luciano y Marina recorrieron Europa llevando su marca a los torneos más prestigiosos del continente, haciendo que la marca sea conocida y respetada. Iridike, como equipo, ha participado en muchos de los torneos organizados por Santa Maria Polo Club en Sotogrande, uno de los clubes de polo más reconocidos del mundo.
En respuesta al creciente interés en iniciarse en este deporte, los profesionales Luciano Irazábal y su socio, Nano Iturrioz crearon Iridike Polo, un espacio totalmente dedicado al lado ecuestre, tanto a clases de polo como paquetes de vacaciones de polo para todos los niveles, así como torneos de polo de playa y pasto. También organizamos paseos a caballo.

In 2006 Luciano started his own project with his cousin. They are the founders of PONY DEL SOL, a company which trains and prepares horses from Uruguay to go play in the UK.
In 2007, in Inglesham Polo Club 47 of their horses were auctioned and in 2008 in Fifield Polo Club 30 were sold.
