The main objective of a player in the sport of polo is to score goals by hitting a small ball into the opposing team’s net using a long-handled mallet. Each team consists of four players who try to maneuver their horses strategically across the field while coordinating with teammates to create scoring opportunities. Players must demonstrate a combination of equestrian skills and teamwork to outmaneuver the opponents. Scoring is determined by the number of goals a team accumulates during the game, making effective communication and positioning vital to a team's success.
