Polo Crosse is a team game played on horseback, created by combining some elements of Polo with some of lacrosse. It was first played at the National School of Equitation in England in 1939, with a weapon formed by splicing a tennis racket on to the end of a polo mallet and replacing the tight strings of the racket with loose ones, subsequently special equipment was made with the operative end resembling a lacrosse net. The game died out in Britain soon after the Second World War, but spread to Australia and New Zealand, and later to the USA, Canada and South Africa.
