The Mounted Games community is a large family! As such, there is healthy good-natured rivalry on the field of play, but great cooperation between players off the field regarding matters of the games as well as those of personal relationships and logistics.
Mounted Games were the inspiration of H. Prince Philip. When Col. Sir Mike Ansell was Director of the Horse of the Year Show, Prince Philip asked if he could devise a competition for children who could not afford an expensive, well-bred pony, and in the Horse of the Year Show, then at Harringay Arena, staged the first Mounted Games Championship for the Prince Philip Cup — it was an immediate success.
Several times a year riders from AMGA compete abroad and these trips provide an exciting experience for many members of the Association. Join Us. There are a variety of games ranging from pure speed races to accuracy races but all games have one thing in common - you make a mistake you must correct it before you can continue. This often involves getting off the pony. One of the main skills of mounted games is the speed at which you can get back onto the pony after getting off.
This is known a vaulting and the ability to vault quickly onto the pony is vital in many of the games. As in other sports, international mounted games competitions are held every year. Victoria has many international riders that have competed all around the world.
