Sydney Royal Easter Show 2010 Horseball

Horse-ball was introduced to Australia in 2009 off the back of the sports popularity throughout Europe.
The concept of the action packed sport involves two teams of 4 players fighting over the possession of a leather-bound ball. The attacking team must make a minimum of 3 passes between their team members before shooting the ball through a hoop shaped vertical goal. The defensive team can protect their goal by pushing opponents out of the playing area using their horse's weight or have the possibility to get alongside the players and pull the ball from their hands. Horseball is a great team sport requiring a high degree of horsemanship and dexterity played over two 10 minute halves and is often referred to as basketball or rugby on horseback!
