Horseball is a game played on horseback where a ball is handled and points are scored by shooting it through a hoop. Horseball is originated from Argentina. The game or sport is like a combination of polo, rugby, and basketball.
The Rules of the Game
There is a team of four players and two sustitutes if needed. There is also a minimum of three passess between three players on a team. The opposite team can defend by preventing them from being able to score by either pushing opponents out of the playing area using their horse’s weight or by getting beside a player and grabbing the ball from the opponent. In this situation, each rider must remain seated in the saddle. If a player leaves the saddle they will give away a penalty. If both stay seated and the defender achives to keep hold of the ball for 3 seconds then their team earns a penalty.
When the ball is dropped or falls to the ground, anyone can pick it up as long as they are travelling in the same direction as when the ball was dropped. This is to avoid any riders coming head to head while picking up the ball and to prevent a collision. While picking the ball up during a game the player must not come to a stand still.
I do like doing something a little similar to horse ball. I sometimes go to visit my cousin and his son. From his house we go to a ranch where his horse is and then we go on a track and go horseback riding.
