The Russian Heguy, one of the political emblems of Pedro’s family and father.
The news had an impact on the political and sports environment in general and between Friday and Saturday the prayer chains and messages of support for one of the most emblematic families of this sport began: that of the Heguys. The accident suffered by Pedro, 11, son of Eduardo and grandson of Alberto Pedro Heguy, When he fell from a horse during a match in La Pampa, he caused concern, anguish, but also motorized a strong current of energy.
Interned at the Molas hospital in Santa Rosa, in a pharmacological coma, in a delicate condition and in intensive care, Pedro Heguy had a good night after the surgical intervention to which he was subjected in the early hours of Saturday to decompress bruises caused by the blow. The impact was such that it caused a double fracture in the base of the skull. “His brain pressure dropped to 11, which is normal and very good, without any complications. Which doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods now. The evolution is good and we have to hope it continues like this. The attention of the doctors here is extraordinary and since the issue is long overdue, the idea is to have it stabilized for a few days and then take it to Austral, in Buenos Aires, in order to continue with the process. The important thing is that Pedro continues to evolve and we have to hope that he does not have any complications, “Russian Heguy said from Santa Rosa about what happened in the last hours.

Yesterday at noon, the possibility that Pedro was subjected to a second operation due to the fact that his blood pressure was very high emerged, but after carrying out new studies it was found that the pressure had decreased, so the intervention was ruled out. At night, Dr. Roberto de Rosas, a specialist who works at the Austral Hospital, arrived, since at the moment Pedro cannot be transferred from Santa Rosa as a precaution. The doctor was very satisfied with the operation that Pedro underwent and the transfer to Buenos Aires would be made, in principle, next Tuesday if the picture remains stable.
Regarding the accident itself, on Friday, as usually happens in Intendente Alvear (about 180 kilometers from Santa Rosa), a mini family polo tournament was taking place between the Heguys and their friends, with three teams. The second game was being played at the Chapaleufú Club when suddenly Pedro Heguy went to the ground without being able to detach himself from the stirrups to get fired and away from the horse, which is what is sought in the rides. His head hit the floor hard. He was transferred to the Reuman Enz hospital in the Pampas town. And from there, to the Molas hospital, in Santa Rosa, where he remains hospitalized.
The news of the accident spread rapidly in the political environment and immediately messages of support began to reach the Russian Heguy and his wife, Paz Manau, as well as the rest of the family: Alberto Pedro and his wife, Silvia Molinari, and the brothers of the Russian (Pepe, Nachi and Tomás). And prayer chains were set up from social networks: “We need all the prayers possible for Pedro Heguy, who today had a strong accident playing polo. Let us pray a lot please, and force the Heguys.” The signs of support multiplied, among friends, family and many of the high goal players, including Juan Martín Nero, Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres, Facundo Sola, Guillermo Caset and Camilo and Bartolomé Castagnola.

Summers in La Pampa are a classic in the Heguy family and almost two weeks ago, in the Anay Rucá field, which belonged to Don Antonio Heguy (Pedrito’s great-grandfather), Alberto Pedro Heguy, one of the glories of polo and Argentine sports, celebrated his 80th anniversary with most of the family, with his four children (Russian, Pepe, Nachi and Tomás) and 11 of his 13 grandchildren, including Pedrito. Alberto Pedro, it is recalled, was 17 times champion of the Argentine Open, the most important tournament in the world of this sport, and a member of the mythical team of Coronel Suárez along with his brother Horacio Antonio and with Juancarlitos and Alfredo Harriott.
El Sapo Caset and Facu Pieres also sent their support
Eduardo “El Ruso” Heguy, Pedro’s father, was four times champion of the Palermo Open with Indios Chapaleufú II, along with his brothers Alberto (h.) And Ignacio, and holds the record of participations in the contest (31), along with Pepe. In recent times, he was coach of Las Monjitas and RS Murus Sanctus.
