World-renowned polo player and the face of Polo Ralph Lauren Fragrances,
Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, made his maiden voyage to Singapore to present a $10,000 cheque to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) on behalf of Ralph Lauren Fragrances.
Argentinean born Figueras, nicknamed “Nacho”, was honoured with the opportunity to share his passion for riding during his visit, as well as do his bit for charity.
In addition to the donation, the polo player conducted a riding clinic for four skilled RDA riders; Max Tan, Gemma Foo, Marcus Lau and Wesley Tan.
Figueras said that riding instils confidence in disabled children and gives them more courage to face the world. According to the RDA, it also aids in blood circulation and improves sense of balance, thus playing a vital role in supplementing other treatments.
The Riding for the Disabled Association is the only organisation in Singapore to offer therapeutic riding lessons for the disabled. All maintenance and operation fees are raised via charity drives and donations.
