Herein, with a powerful stroke, a player drives the ball down the field. He along with his teammates gallops in pursuit, trying to avoid their opponents' attempts to stop their attack and gain possession of the ball.

In a Horse Polo match there are six ‘chukkers’ of 7½ minutes each. Due to the sheer speed at which this game is played, a player needs to change ponies after every ‘chukker’.
