For those of you new to Horseball, here is a bit about the sport:
It's a game that's something between rugby and basketball but all on horseback! It has been compared to quidditch but without all the extras.
There are 6 members in a horseball team, 4 on the pitch at a time.
They have to pass a ball 3 times between 3 different team members before shooting through a 1m hoop, 5 metres off the ground. Dropping the ball requires picking it up off the ground- without dismounting! Using a pickup strap holding stirrups together, players bravely launch down the side of the horse, which is still moving, and have to pick up the ball. Players can also tackle each other to defend and steal the ball, just like in rugby, and line outs and other tactics are used to defeat the other team. Professional games are daring, fast and furious, with around 20 goals being scored per team.
See you on the pitch!
