Part of a large, polo-playing family, Facundo Obregon has been riding since age five and playing polo since he was eight years old. Son of Mariano Obregon Sr., he learned the sport alongside his three brothers, Mariano Jr., Juan Martin and Geronimo. The 32-year-old Argentine is rated as a 6-goaler in the U.S. He was featured on Team Priscus in the Gladiator Polo arena league in 2017 in Wellington and Team Charlotte in Tryon, N.C. Highlights from his 2018 season included the Pacific Coast Open Final and USPA America Cup Final. He was in action with La Indiana last year at the International Polo Club Palm Beach with some success. Look for Obregon this season at IPC back on La Indiana with Michael Bickford, Jeff Hall and Tomas Garcia del Rio. wellingtonthe themagazine magazine||january january2019 2019 59 59 wellington
