NORFORCE H Troop mounted soccer match
The first official game of horse soccer was played between the Northern Territory Mounted Police and NORFORCE's Horse Troop at Berrimah NT Police, Fire and Emergency Services Centre.
While the game was an exciting display of horsemanship and teamwork, the activity is an important part of developing the horse's psychology and physiology.
The 1 metre sized ball is often used as a de-spooking aid and assists in the horse's ability to relate to fight or flight in situations both the Mounted Police and Horse Troop members can find themselves in.
