A travel vlog-style YouTube video by Nate Buchanan documenting the couple's last day in Buenos Aires at a polo club (Puesto Viejo). They meet an instructor, learn to swing the mallet and control horses, have lunch, then play a shortened polo match in which Kara scores the first goal. The video captures instruction, in-field coaching, reactions (soreness, excitement), and brief logistics (hotel rooms, taxi), plus mention of flying a drone for the first time.
It is our last day in Buenos Aires, and I think we saved the best day for last. Today we are going to a polo club outside of the city, and we are going to learn to play polo, eat really good food, and fly our drone for the first time. It's gonna be the best day.
Thank you.
Cheesecake and coffee. Right off the bat, I'm a happy girl.
We just met our polo instructor. He told us we're going to learn how to play right now. Then we're going to have lunch and have a little break, and then we're going to have a match.
We just got a little tour of the stable, met some of the horses, and now we're gonna go learn the swing.
I already never want to leave. We haven't even done anything yet.
Maybe coming back for, like, a month to learn how to actually be polo players.
Learning how to swing the cane is special.
We're using for Malaysia and Thailand. It's a special bamboo. Polo is not like gold. You make one shot, you drink a beer. You some real guy. You bring your legs in. Coffee, you know.
Bam.
That was good.
Very good. Nice shoulders. Shoulders. Head on the right side. Let it go. Keep the ball.
We just learned how to hit the ball and how to control the horse. And now we are getting on the horse. I'm pretty nervous this one.
How it's going? All right.
Getting on the horse. Switching to the GoPro.
Gracious.
I'll race you to the goals on the other side.
Cara, you got to get a ball excited.
You have to go with the ball. All right. Very good. No. Nate.
Nate.
So mad at you.
Nate.
You were a natural.
That was so much fun. My legs are already sore. My wrist, that mallet is so heavy. He told me it's because I was doing it wrong, which I'm sure is the case, but that was so much fun. Now it's time to go eat lunch.
Lunch was delicious. Now we have 30 minutes to rest. But instead.
Sam.
Break time is over. And now we are heading back to the field for our first polo match.
To the match.
For our match. He has shortened the field to what I believe is about.
10% of a normal polo field. He doesn't have very much faith in us.
You go for the wall. I'm in the fence. I go for you, and I stop your swim, all right? That's when I can hook your mallet.
All right?
What?
You can do it.
You can block him. You go with your horse. You pull the horse and you bite the horse. All right? Or the other guy. All Right. Come on, you can do it.
The other way.
No way.
Oh, no.
Go K. Go, K. It's going to be a goal. It's going to be a goal. No.
I got the first score of the game.
Look at this. Beautiful. Go. She's going for the.
Oh, that was so bad.
Pass.
Right? What in the world?
Keep going, keep going. Yeah, Keep going. Keep taking me. Yeah.
I got these guys. No way. What do you got? What do you got?
Tell you what. Look at this beautiful bus. Go.
You're so good.
Yes. No way, no way. Oh, get in there. Go. Straight, straight. Don't worry. The next one. Come on. The ball. Score. No.
I'm going for you. I'm going for you. Just be nervous. Be nervous. I'm going for you.
Go.
We're currently winning 75.
Come on. You play left side, right side, left side, right inside. Come on, M. Where you want. Run, run, run, run. Look at me with a.
25Ft.
Beautiful shot.
You are. You got it again.
There you have the ball. Touch the ball. I need score.
Good match. Good match. I think it was Kara's fault. You and I did pretty well.
Polo match was a success. Nobody fell off the horses.
That was literally one of the most fun things I've ever done in my entire life.
It was super cool. I can see how people can get really into it.
I love polo. They have 11 hotel rooms here, and there's a Scottish family staying in them for two weeks learning how to do this. And right now. That sounds amazing.
I would definitely do that, but I would have to, like, work out my arm a little bit. It is so tired from holding that stick. It gets so heavy after, like, 30 minutes of playing. Arm is useless.
It was so much fun. I'm sure in the videos it looks like we were moving two miles an hour, because we probably were, but it felt way faster than that.
Our taxi is here. Now we have to leave.
You didn't fall off your horse.
I almost did, though. I almost fell off. It was, like, really far and I.
Was like, oh, I can get it.
And I, like, leaned really far, but I forgot to do the thing with my left leg to, like, hold myself on, and I went, whoa. And I like, like, push my leg out of the stirrup. I almost fell out. And he saw me and he's, like.
Almost just whacked the horse in the head.
Great technique.
I think I'm too close. I'm getting out of the problem.
Hey.
Movement.
