You're right, Gracie. When you're at the stadium, it's the sounds of the fans cheering, chatting, and enjoying themselves that keeps us from hearing the announcer. There are 8 players(4 per team) on horses as well as 2 umpires on horses.So, 10 horses at a time thundering up the field. Each player brings 6-8 horses to a match, so there are usually about 50 horses total per game. It's great fun ! Everyone should come out and see for themselves.
