Sampled Polocrosse Gallery

A team sport that combines polo & lacrosse

Developed in Australia prior to World War II after Mr. and Mrs. Hirst of Sydney read an article in an English Horse Magazine. Instructors at the National School of Equitation near London had developed an exercise to help their young riders gain better charge of their horses. After visiting the School and realising the possibilities of this exercise as an outdoor horse sport, the Hirsts returned to Australia and sought the help of Alf Pitty, a well known horseman and polo player. Polocrosse was created after much discussion, practicing, and rules revision.
