Marcial “Toto” Socas inherited a love of polo from his polo playing family. Raised in Argentina, Marcial began teaching with his father who founded the La Martina Polo Ranch and Puesto Viejo Polo Schools. Marcial moved to the United States in 2014 as a 19 years old. Today he works with clients in California, primarily at Cerro Pampa Polo Club, Indio and Santa Barbara. Marcial enjoys planning trips to Argentina for 10-12 clients where they can immerse themselves in the culture and play.
