THE OPEN CHAMPIONS Ever since 1993, the AACCP (Argentine Association of Polo Pony Breeders) awards a prize to the most outstanding Polo Argentino Pony of the Argentine Open Championship Final, the most prestigious Tournament in the world, which translates into 23 years running handing out our award. It is our wish this year to pay homage to the Horses and their Breeders, and through this achievement position them among the best Polo Pony Breeders in the world, and have pictures of all those champion ponies as a reminder of this important award. 1993 polo pureza Birth: 12-12-1988 SBA 4202 RP 10 By High Host (Highlander) & Purita Breeder & Owner: Alberto P. Heguy Player: Alberto Heguy (h) 248 It must be pointed out that in the case of most of the prizes we clearly perceive consistent female bloodlines, and in other cases, the awards have given rise to a superior female bloodline. Another aspect worth mentioning is the work related to Selection that has been carried out by the AACCP, based on results achieved and the progress of a greater number of superior Polo Argentino Products, not only in the Opens but at different Polo levels in Argentina and in the most important Tournaments in the world. Pepe Heguy: “Polo Pureza played with a gag and 4 reins all her life; she was sublimely soft-mouthed, extremely comfortable; had a huge heart and was very healthy. She played during 13 seasons and never once missed a game.”
