Welcome to
Normally, when one thinks of the sport of Polo, things that come to mind are Thoroughbred horses, formal English riding attire, beautifully groomed fields, and lots of money, just to push a little wooden ball through the opposite team's goal.
The Stockmans Polo format is uniquely Australian and provides a fast paced, exciting game for players and spectators.
The game is
played in rodeo style arenas with two 4 player teams (3 on field and 1 reserve).
Each player is armed with a mallet and the object is to knock an inflatable
rubber ball through the other team's goal.
Stockmans Polo is
the average person's sport. You don't need a whole string of horses to
participate. All that is needed is a horse, a mallet, the ability to ride, and
the love of adventure. As in any sport the game is more enjoyable with good
audience participation. The Queensland Stockmans Polo club welcomes everyone,
whether interested in learning the game as a participant or as a spectator.
Spectators are welcome at all events.
The Q.S.P.A.
has been running successfully for the past 3 years, offering horsemen and women
a social gathering of players and spectators interested in the game of Stockmans
Polo. We are currently looking to expand the competition including a full open
tournament as well as a junior competition.
We
are looking to hold clinics and a number of exhibition games at key equestrian
and public events, Pony clubs or any where we can find an arena and interested
players
