Hector Galindo
Maintaining his status as a top player for over 25 years, Hector Galindo started playing at the age of 12 and climbed quickly to his pinnacle as a 9-goal player. He has raised the winning trophies of numerous major American tournaments that include the 30-goal World Cup, the Silver Cup four times, 26-goal Hall of Fame Cup, C. V. Whitney and was a winner of the Polo Excellence Award in 1999.

Although aggressive and fast on the field his good nature and consummate sportsmanship have endeared him to his fellow players and fans, not just in the U.S. but around the globe. Part of a large polo playing family, Hector credits his father and brothers as his mentors and said that they taught him to “train hard, play the game fairly and take good care of my horses.”
