Polocrosse it is a team sport that is played in many different countries. It is a combination of polo and lacrosse. It is played outside, on a field, on horseback. Each rider uses a stick to which is attached a racquet head with a loose, thread net, in which the ball is carried. The ball is made of sponge rubber and is approximately 4 inches across. The objective is to score goals by throwing the ball between your opponent's goal posts.
Unlike polo, players are allowed only to play one horse, except in the case of injury. There is no restriction on their height, although the ideal should not exceed about 16 hands. Horses of all breeds play polocrosse. Just use your favourite horse!
A team consists of 6 players, divided into two sections of three who play alternate chukkas of a maximum of 8 minutes each. Six or eight chukkas compromise a full match. The three players in each section play the position of a No. 1 "attack", a No. 2 "centre", or a No. 3 "defence".
