Botafogo, a 9-year-old bay Argentine Polo Pony gelding

1 / 3

About this horse

Botafogo is the best horse we have for sale and the price reflects it. He has been played in the first and fifth by a 6-goal professional for three seasons. He is exceptional through the turn, genuinely fearless in a ride-off, and he comes back fresh in the fifth. He is a horse for someone playing at a level where that matters.

Performance history

Played 20-goal, Wellington, 2024 through 2026
Named best playing pony at a club tournament, 2025
