Horse Soccer!

[longtallsally]

How many of you would be interested in a 3-on-3 horse soccer tournament? The youth ranch that I volunteer for is considering hosting a horse soccer tournament as a fundraiser and we're trying to determine the interest in it. Four of us volunteers played today and had a blast, laughing so hard at times that we had to stop and catch our breath.

The ranch is Narrow Gate Youth Ranch (www.ngyr.org) and is located in Chase, MI.

When I was a kid in 4-H we played BROOM POLO on horseback.
We went house to house in Greenville for the better part of a month to get enough brooms.
We took corn brooms and cut the bristles off at the first string and then duct taped them and drilled a whole in the handle to put a string through to put around your wrist so you wouldn't loose your broom and for the ball we used a soccer or volleyball.
What a blast.
Some other parents and I brought it back when my kids were in 4-H about their teen years.

well, I am near Greenville, maybe we can start our own horse soccar league around here!!!! or broom polo!! but sounds easier if I don't have to hold a broom and try to steer my horse!!! I am probably not that coordinated!!! LOL!!!! soooo much easier to just let the horse push a big ball around!!!

Broom polo is a blast! You definately need to be able to steer one handed though. Oh and have a horse that isn't paranoid of the broom and ball! LOL! I used to play with Sept, she didn't like that, but seh tried.

In the day's of broom polo we used our riening horse's and even cutting horse's made good ones for it.
