All Mounted Team Games

Team ball games played on horseback. Polo, in which two teams of mounted players use long mallets to drive a ball through the opposing goal, is the type case. It is kept apart from the individual riding disciplines because the contest is between teams and the object is a ball. Every sport filed in this group belongs to the Equestrian Sports category and has its own entry in the Sport and Games Atlas, from which a reader can follow links on to its leading athletes, its competitions and the governing bodies that set its rules.
