Kukri Starts New Year With New Sport!

It’s existed for over 300 years and we are taking a guess that you’ve never heard of it... but that’s all about to change as ‘Horseball’ becomes the latest exciting team sport for Kukri to kit out… once again proving we must be the ultimate teamwear provider!

The game consists of two teams of four players and a ball with six handles. All the players are on horseback and the aim is to try and score a goal through a hoop shaped vertical goal. Got it? Basically it’s a mixture between rugby, basketball and horse riding!

Originating in Argentina, it was outlawed in 1790 due to the high mortality among players. It was reintroduced 70 years ago and was declared Argentina’s national game a few years later. It’s a pretty mental sport and it’s all about being a team player - so we love it!

Madrid’s Horseball Sharks have just taken delivery of their new Kukri kit. Manager Pedro Checa comments: “As a horseball team and club, our players and fans are delighted with the new kits - especially the designs and high quality. Horseball is a growing and passionate sport with similar characteristics to rugby where Kukri has a huge experience.”

Horseball anyone?!
