HOW TO PLAY
1

Players on one team bend forward in a row, each gripping the waist of the player in front, forming a long 'mare' with the front player braced against a wall or tree.

2

Players on the other team take turns running and vaulting onto the backs of the mare, trying to pack as far forward as possible without falling off.

3

Once everyone has mounted, the rider at the front holds up a number of fingers, and the lead player of the mare must guess how many fingers are being shown.

4

If the mare collapses under the riders' weight at any point before the guess, the mare team must go again as the mare.

5

If the mare holds firm and the guess is wrong, the two teams swap roles; if the guess is correct, the mare team stays down and repeats as the mare for another round.
