Gaia Fenoglio, a 19-year-old from the mountains of Córdoba, Argentina, has dedicated her life to horse training and breaking horses for polo, now living and working in Thailand. Raised with a philosophy rooted in Indian horsemanship, she emphasizes teaching horses through dialogue rather than force, fostering quick learning and reliability. Gaia’s journey began with a childhood gift of a mare, leading her to study dressage and eventually polo, supported by mentors like the Scarpati family and Hugo Barabucci. Her move to Thailand came through a chance connection, and despite language barriers with local grooms, she adapted smoothly, managing a daily routine of training colts and working with playing mares.

Gaia shares her horsemanship experiences on social media, where she has built a supportive community of over 115,000 followers. She aims to inspire others by showing that passion and dedication can lead to success in any field, not just horsemanship. Looking ahead to 2026, Gaia’s goal is to improve her polo skills while continuing to develop the young horses she trains in Thailand, remaining open to new opportunities as they arise.
