We will be teaching the basics of Polocrosse as well as Cowboy polo!
Cowboy polo is a variation of polo played mostly in the western United States. Like regular polo, it is played in chukkas (periods) with two teams on horses who use mallets to hit a ball through a goal. It differs from traditional polo in that five riders make up a team instead of four, western saddles and equipment are used, and the playing field is usually a simple rodeo arena or other enclosed dirt area, indoors or out. Also, instead of the small ball used in traditional polo, the players use a large red rubber ball and use mallets with long fiberglass shafts or brooms and hard rubber heads.
Polocrosse is a team sport that is a combination of polo and lacrosse. Each rider uses a cane or fiberglass 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 four inches across. The objective is to score goals by throwing the ball between the opposing team’s goal posts.

– This camp is geared to those kids already familiar with the basic knowledge of a horse.
