Have a go at Horseball

Saturday 20 February and Saturday 6 March

Come and see why this is the fastest growing equestrian sport in the country.

Try a fun, exciting team sport that will have you on the edge of your seat……………….

WHAT IS IT ?

An exhilarating team sport, refereed on a surface (approx. 70m/30m), 2 teams, 4 players a team on the pitch.
Most horses, from cobs to thoroughbreds adapt to the sport very quickly, some even faster than their riders. Both enjoying it tremendously.
A team must make three individual passes before a goal can be scored. If the ball is not passed within 10 seconds, a penalty is given.( football sized ball with handle straps )
Strict rules are observed throughout play to help ensure horseball continues to remain a safe sport .

Come along and have go?

Our Have A Go Day Session will consist of a short demo followed by a one hour ridden session where participants of all abilities, can learn some of the safety rules and a number of passing, shooting and pickup techniques. At this level our sessions are fully broken down and begin in walk and trot.
