What is Polocrosse?
Polocrosse is an Australian-invented equestrian team sport that combines polo, lacrosse and netball. Three-a-side teams play on horseback using a long-handled racket with an open net to catch, carry and throw a soft rubber ball into the opposing goal. Chukkas last six to eight minutes and each rider can only use one horse for the whole game.
