The Mothers of Polo: The Strength Behind the Legacy

In the world of polo, every triumph is built on an invisible structure held together by passion, discipline, and family. And at the center of that structure stands Camila Cambiaso — the strategic and emotional heart behind the world of La Natividad Polo.

The Heart of Two Dynasties

Camila is the mother of Camilo “Jeta” Castagnola and Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, the talents who have taken La Natividad to the top of the polo world. Alongside Lolo Castagnola, the players’ father and coach, she leads a new era where tradition, modernity, and sport merge with intelligence and vision.

She is also the link between two of the most influential surnames in Argentine polo: the Cambiasos and the Castagnolas. As the sister of Adolfo Cambiaso, the most successful player in the sport’s history, and aunt of Adolfo “Poroto” Cambiaso Jr., one of its brightest young stars, her life has always been connected to horses and competition. Yet, her influence extends far beyond the field.

The union we now know as La Natividad La Dolfina represents more than a team — it’s the result of years of work, trust, and shared strategy.

The Business Behind the Game

Camila and Lolo Castagnola don’t just run a polo organization — they lead a complete business structure. Together they manage Cría Chalo, one of Argentina’s most respected polo breeding programs, and oversee everything from player contracts to operations at La Natividad Estate in Cañuelas, the heart of their activity.

Both share a unified vision: to turn sporting excellence into a sustainable, long-term model. Lolo brings instinct, technical knowledge, and horse expertise; Camila brings organization, strategic thinking, and a natural sense of leadership.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

Camila Cambiaso is more than a mother and manager — she’s an entrepreneur by heart. Over the years, she has played a key role in growing La Natividad Polo into a global brand that extends beyond the field. Her love for fashion and design led her to take an active role in creating collections, partnerships, and new ventures that connect sport with lifestyle.

In her constant pursuit of evolution, she has recently embarked on a new business line with designer Camila Mejía Posada, sharing a creative and strategic vision. Together, they lead Secret Society Studio, a project that aims to bring the same attention to detail, personalization, and craftsmanship that define La Natividad Polo into the world of uniforms and collections for teams and organizations beyond polo.

It’s a natural extension of her mindset — turning polo’s elegance, discipline, and precision into a creative language that speaks to a broader audience.

Leadership and Family

Camila embodies a modern form of leadership — one that balances empathy with structure, and creativity with discipline. For her, raising children, horses, or new projects comes from the same foundation: patience, commitment, and passion.

Her role in La Natividad Polo has been essential to building a strong organization rooted in family values with a global perspective. Her ability to merge sport, business, and lifestyle has positioned La Natividad as a model for modern polo — where performance and brand identity grow side by side.

 


 

The Silent Strength

Behind every goal, every trophy, and every celebration lies the strength of a woman who doesn’t seek the spotlight but builds from the ground up. Camila Cambiaso is that balance between emotion and strategy, tradition and modernity.

Her legacy lives not only in her sons’ achievements or her brother’s records, but in the structure she has helped build — one that unites family, work, and vision with purpose and heart.

As La Natividad La Dolfina advances through the 2025 Triple Crown, her leadership continues to guide the rhythm of a team — steady, focused, and deeply inspired by family and excellence.
