Pato is an Argentinean game for horsemen, a cross between polo and netball played between two teams of four men on a field 210 meters long by 82 meters wide with the object being to throw the ball into the opponents goal. Each goal is a net hanging from a 2.7 meter post. The ball is similar to a leatherfootball, but has six leather handles. When carrying the ball it must be held in an outstretched arm, giving opponents the chance to snatch it away. Research Pato
