Pushball.nl: pushball on horseback... it's kicking! History & International Connections: December 2007

Invitation to (inter)national pushball trainers

With this blog a space is created to exchange pushball (on horseback) experiences all over the world:
At this moment each country has it's own pushball tradition in playing pushball with horses.
On this site pushball trainers can share their training methods, game tactics, game rules with other trainers all over the world.
There are a lot of training systems. Each trainings system can add something new to an existing system in a other country. Even if it has his origin in an completely other discipline.

For example, this is my own out-of-the-box psycology: the choice of a certain horse (for his field position) depends firstly on his experience, but secondly on his character! And after that, finaly the character and experience of his rider. Why?
An attacker (meaning the horse) wants to fight for the ball and is greedy.
And a defender (horse) isn't affraid for an opposit horse, so he won't move while the other is approaching him fastly.
"Go with the flow" is a method used by less experienced horses and riders. Then there won't be a hard confrontation.
So, my opinion: use the power you already have as a benefit. And protect the weak parts, and let them grow.

Yours,
