About Claudio:
As the Ranch Manager and polo pro at Rancho Amistad Polo Club in Murrieta, Calif., Claudio has touched so
many people. His wide, easy smile is his calling card and earned him the nickname “Hollywood” by fellow
player, Cary Burch. Off the field, Claudio is renowned for his awesome barbecuing skills, owing to his Brazilian
heritage, and for being a kind and gentle soul – both with horses and their riders. His warmth, kindness,
patience and generosity of spirit have benefited us all and we, his friends, are hosting this tournament as a
special way to give back to Claudio in his critical time of need.
About the Accident:
Brazilian-born polo pro, Claudio Manfrin was severely injured in a motorcycle crash in Southern California over
the past Memorial Day Weekend. Claudio suffered very serious internal injuries, including a broken pelvis,
multiple broken bones, and was on life support for several days. He was not expected to live, but luckily he did.
Although he is alive and recovering, he faces many future surgeries and a long, slow, painful rehabilitation
