During the night, all Ladies had time to relax and enjoy the coiffeur and make up attention from Toni&Guy team followed by a healthy and delicious dinner under the nutritional control of Angela Walker, nutritionist and polo player in Ibiza, helped by our exclusive Chef Nathalie Hosting from New Zealand. Together they chose the best ingredients to provide players with energy and power for our Sunday games.
