_10 to 60 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

This is a game of leapfrog. The players are divided into two even
parties, except for one leader, one party being the ponies and the
other the riders, or Johnnies. The ponies form one long back as
follows: one player stands upright against a wall or fence; the first
back stoops in front of this leader, bracing his head against him;
the other players grasp each the waist of the player in front, and
stoop with the heads against him or turned to one side (away from the
jumper). When the backs (ponies) are ready, the riders all run toward
them from the side, each rider vaulting from the side on to the back
of one pony. The ponies try in every way, except by straightening up,
to throw their riders while the leader counts fifty. If a rider be
made to touch even one foot to the ground, the ponies have won and
score a point, the riders exchanging places with them. If the ponies
fail in this attempt, they must be ponies again. The side wins which
has the highest score at the end.
