Biography

Cavanagh was sent to work on his family's ranch at a young age after concluding that he wasn’t fit for further education. While living there, he discovered a love for riding horses, which led to his polo career.[2] He was part of the Argentine polo team, which won the gold medal. He played both matches in the tournament, the first against Mexico and the final against Great Britain.

His older brother Diego Cavanagh was also a squad member, but did not compete. He had at least two other brothers, Edmundo and Santiago.[2]
