After listening to the mass, they rode horses to chase hens, just like goose in France, with the exception of the following differences: all fell on the player who managed to get the head of the hen to take it away from him and display to the others, in the honor of which the party was given.

The Catholic Church did not accept this form of entertainment from , threatening to deny the burial of Pato players. Eventually, the game was banned in some claim that in or , due to the numerous deaths during the games. What's more, people who will be caught playing Pato for the third time, they will have to face six-month hard labor period and will be punished for the damages they may cause. In various writings from the 18th century, numerous references to this sport appear, especially about its dangerous character and tragic consequences.

Argentine novelist Guillermo Enrique Hudson — in his book "The Ombu" states that "El Pato" was the most popular entertainment practiced in Argentina. Strictly forbidden by personal misfortunes, which gave cause for people to leave it slowly, without forgetting it completely.

All are excellent riders, one of them holds on the bent arm a leather bag with rings. At a given sign they start to rush, everybody is chasing "Pato" and fighting to pick up the prey. The one who succeeds, and the others will not take his gains, is really skillful. In "Pampa Argentina" Roberto Torreiro wrote "while in the 20th century no one remembered the existence of the game" Pato ", on April 16th, , at the initiative of the then head of protection of the city of La Plata Don Alberto del Castillo Posse and at the same time the admirer of the Argentine tradition, supported by a qualified group of athletes, an exhibition was organized of this sport.

Due to the stirring enthusiasm among those present, Posse decided to promote the "Pato", seeking to build teams associated with horse sports and encouraging the establishment of organizations that were originally involved in its promotion.

This step was the first success regarding the national sport. The Governor, Manuel A. Fresco, agreed and issued a decree on April 28th, , justifying that "sport is subject to disciplinary rules, and that Pato, in its current form, is considered a healthy and energetic sport, similar to polo.

Already three years later, the Argentine Pato Federation — F. Imaz, came to Las Heras, engaging in the promotion of the Pato.

However, the status of Pato, as a national sport in Argentina has been questioned by the football federation. Because a large part of the Argentine society is passionate about football, many Argentines have never even seen a Pato match.

In , a bill was introduced to raise football to the status of national sport and recognize Pato as a traditional sport. Defenders of official Pato status indicate that it is a traditional, national game, while football was imported from England. The consequence of the popularity of Pato was the formation of Horseball, which is actually a very similar sport. The International Horseball Federation IHF is responsible for its development, organizing international competitions, world championships etc.

It is interesting that the first European Championship played in is an older event than the world championships. Horseball is very popular in France and Spain. In the s, thanks to Captain Clave the world champion in show jumping over these years , Argentina Pato appeared in France. Quickly this sport started to be called "Pato indoor" due to the need to limit the playing field.

In , Captain Clave modified the rules, which were so significant that he decided to give this rivalry a different name: Pato was changed to Horseball. The changes in the rules were a consequence of adapting the Pato to the European conditions and the possibilities of European horses.

At that time, Horseball was not considered a sport, but only as a form of fun or game. It quickly gained great popularity, especially among the military, who organized matches between regiments.

Sport disappeared with the start of World War II. It was treated only as an exercise for improving saddle riding in several clubs. Perhaps that is why today Horseball is especially popular in France. Thanks to their involvement in the work of the Commission des Jeunes et des Jeux, the first match was organized during Salon du Cheval in Jean Claude Gast. Pascal Marry. It was an important meeting because it was attended by people essential to this sport: Philippe Thiebaut and Jean-Paul Depons.

The first one was because he tried to specify the rules of the game, the second discovered riding exercises in the saddle called "horse ball" by Capitaine Clave in the equestrian center Yvelines. After finishing the training, he settled in his hometown Castillon la Bataille. In February , the first championship in Jeux Equestres in Poitiers took place.

The Horseball name did not work yet, but the first attempt with the Pato in the hall version was made. The finals included the Bordeaux and d'Henin Beaumont teams.

Philippe Thiebaut and Jean-Paul Depons were the first referees of this competition. After the competition finals, they decided to work in clubs — Philippe Thiebaut played in the team from Salon de Provence, and Jean-Paul Depons began training the team from Bordeaux. Philippe Thiebaut in the colors of the Salon de Provence club. The second French championship competition took place in October As a result of the meeting at Castillon la Bataille, the sport received the name Horseball and the final regulations were adopted.

At the end of , the role of Horseball in the framework of the Commission des Jeunes et des Jeux grew bigger, hence the decision to establish a new committee that would take up this sport. Its first chairman was Jean-Paul Depons. Horseball appeared on the international arena in thanks to the French team's shows in Portugal and England.

Although the Polish were in the lead for all this time, in the last minute more experienced players from Austria scored an even point.

The Pato field must be perfectly horizontal, covered with grass. Menezes had no room for an ugly duckling.

But Sao Paulo had a midfielder named Jadson who Menezes did like, so the two teams swapped players on loan deals. The joke was on Menezes; with Sao Paulo, Pato found his feet once more. He scored 12 goals in 39 games in , then doubled that tally with 26 goals in 56 games in Those heart-shaped hands adorned arenas across the country, and for a player who had once been written off, Pato had found his redemption.

Before we go any further, let's jump over to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea striker Diego Costa roams the green, grassy fields. He's disliked. He kicks and punches and elbows opposition players at a whim. To put it simply, Costa is the kind of player you love to hate, and hate you do. The Blues are enduring a rough year. They're looking for new players. And, in recent days, the club has been linked with the signature of one year-old Brazilian striker. I want to come to win the championship and play again in the Champions League.

I have dreams again. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp adamantly dismissed talk of a move developing for Pato. Other teams have expressed some interest in the Brazilian. He has a few friends in Willian , Oscar , and Ramires , which would certainly help in the transition to the Premier League. At Chelsea, he would be attempting to displace Diego Costa from the starting XI and proving to his doubters that he is still an elite striker, capable of performing at the highest level.

This is a video of a duck and a pit bull fighting over a kiddie pool in a random backyard. Don't worry, neither get hurt in the exchange. It's just a lot of barking and quacking. The duck wins, though. He enjoys a drink, while the pit bull cowers behind him in the garden. Chelsea needs a duck more than it needs a pit bull these days. The English Champions have turned ugly, closer now to relegation than to glory. Like Pato, Chelsea is looking for redemption. Pato isn't an actual duck, nor is Diego Costa an actual pit bull.

Nor is there any guarantee a move will develop at all. But one thing is clear:. Skip to content. NFL Football. NBA Basketball. NHL Hockey. Pocoyo Wiki Explore. Pocoyo show Let's Go Pocoyo!
