The aim is to grab it off the ground while riding and then get it clear of the other players and pitch it across a goal line or into a vat . Play can last for several days . It 's important during the game that the carcass does n't disintegrate , so the calf is normally beheaded , disemboweled , has its limbs cut off at the knees and is soaked in cold water for 24 hours before play to toughen it .

Special horses are trained for the event so they do n't trample the riders , should they be thrown , and gallop at speed towards the goal line when the rider collects the carcass .
