  The moduli space of static finite energy solutions to Ward's integrable
chiral model is the space $M_N$ of based rational maps from $\CP^1$ to itself
with degree $N$. The Lagrangian of Ward's model gives rise to a K\"ahler metric
and a magnetic vector potential on this space. However, the magnetic field
strength vanishes, and the approximate non--relativistic solutions to Ward's
model correspond to a geodesic motion on $M_N$. These solutions can be compared
with exact solutions which describe non--scattering or scattering solitons.
