HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark two scoring circles at opposite ends of a large open field.

2

Riders on horseback compete to scoop the sack off the ground while staying mounted.

3

Whoever controls the sack gallops toward their scoring circle while defenders try to wrestle it away.

4

A point is scored when a rider drops the sack cleanly inside the circle.

5

Play continues with the sack returned to the center after each score until an agreed number of points or time limit is reached.
