Hoofball is a great training method to promote horse and rider working together using concentration and focus while having fun.
Once a basic foundation and communication are in place, Hoofball helps put principle to purpose, allowing horse and human to work as a team.
The main things to remember about Hoofball are:
BE SAFE! Don’t let competitiveness over-ride safety.
HAVE FUN! Don’t get too serious- laughter is your best friend.

Suggestions for a great game
• Ensure your horse has a good foundation of training before playing. Remember, you are putting principle to purpose which means you must have that principle intact first.
• Introduce and familiarize your horse with the ball BEFORE attempting to play the game. Do this first on the ground before mounted. Don’t force a scared horse which can result in injury.
• Make your focus more on the relationship with your horse rather than winning the game. Refrain from aggressive handling which will be grounds for dismissal.
• Remember, you are playing at your own risk. Equine activities are inherently dangerous in any form
