Tristan was born in Singapore and grew up in Midhurst, UK where he started riding at the young age of three.  His mother taught at a riding school and his Father took up polo in Singapore.  This lead to Tristan getting into playing polo properly at the age of 12.  He shares his passion, love and talent for horses with his wife Felicity Wade who is a highly skilled equine Vet in Auckland.  They are also the proud parents of their two year old son James.  Tristan has played international polo in destinations such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Singapore, America, Scotland and Italy.   Polo runs in the Wade family with his brothers Jonny and Adrian both playing polo professionally.
