Haitians do play Polo! Meet Team Haiti Polo Captain Claude-Alix Bertrand.

Bertrand is 38 years old, and owner of Atelier Bertrand Interior Design. He is an interior architect based in San Francisco and part-time model.

Born in Haiti, Bertrand left when he was 9 years old. At a young age, he learned to play Polo and fell in love with the sport, playing through high school and college. After a 10 year break, Bertrand got back into the sport in 2000, and started playing in a league at 2003.

In 2014 Sideline magazine named him Hot Horseman of the year in 2014.
