Polo Rules

Putting this out there, what about adding a rule to enforce a ball turnover if the ball is stuck by the fence, and two opposing players are trying to fish it free, say three seconds then ball turnover to whoever has closest proximity to the ball. This would help remove those moments in polo where the player with the ball is stuck between the fence and his/her opponent (with associated fishing mallet over bars and hands/fingers on the fence, potentially) and encourage teams not to stick the ball against the fence to run the clock down.

This is a problem, but it would be so much harder to kill the ball if the player is unable to use a hand to keep themselves up. I don't like rules that force the ref to decide when the ball is stuck, how long 3 secs is etc... too much chance for the ref to swallow the whistle.
