Hobby horse polo

[4] Hugh van Skyhawk,[5] an Indologist and professor of Islamic studies in Mainz and Islamabad, described hobby horse polo played by young boys as part of the ceremonies of the traditional Gindni (harvest preparations) festival in Hispar.

A full match has six 6-minute-long chukkas (periods), and each team may consist of up to six people (depending on the size of the field and the amount of interest).

On the umpire's command "Polo go", the teams gallop against each other, in one hand their mallets, in the other their hobby horses, which have to be led between the legs of the player.

[3][7] The German rules permit hobbling under the influence but require that it "look particularly silly" as prescribed by the Monty Python walking gag.

[8] As the Swiss cavalry tradition keepers from Kavallerieverein Zug had been involved in the first tournament, riding boots are permitted but spurs are explicitly forbidden as well as the production of "road apples" on the field by either horse or rider.
