Library > Challenge Fiona! > Fiona has a go at all sports

Fiona is game for most things and polocrosse is no exception. Jason Webb, natural horsemanship trainer and Australian national team player shows Fiona the ropes. Riding Jason's 'old Doc', Fiona learns that dressage is part of Polocrosse which uses lateral work and pirouettes to 'mark up' the opponent. Jason shows Fiona how to hold a racket and steer, then instructs her to play a game of 'tag'. Fiona first has to get away from Jason, then mark him. Jason is forced to admit that he has no chance! Finally, he challenges Fiona to pick up a ball in canter within five minutes. Can she rise to the occasion and has she missed her real calling?

Vixxa 19 Jan 2011 What a giggle! I think a spot of polocrosse would lighten up any horse and riders' schooling week, give a new dimension to using the arena and shift focus to having a different touch of fun together. Certainly going to give this a go, Thanks Jason and Fiona.

Zaartje 12 Jan 2011 Oh, how fun! You did super, Fiona!

Scotty 11 Jan 2011 Can definitely see your competitive instinct kicking in here! Looks really good fun and you are clearly a natural!

LadyJennivieve 11 Jan 2011 As an Aussie, I must say that I love watching a game of poloX. I've had a little go, and it's a buzz. The game of tag looks like fun. I might have to try and persuade someone to play with me.

Fiona Price 6 Jan 2011 I have to admit, I didn't think he'd be up to too much when you brought him out, but he was a real superstar and gave me a terrific ride! I really enjoyed him. Thanks.
