Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox sport Hobby horsing is a hobby with gymnastic elements which uses hobby horses, also known as stick horses.[1][2] Movement sequences similar to those in show jumping or dressage are partly simulated in courses, without real horses being used. The participants predominantly use self-made hobby horses.[3][4][5]

The hobby was introduced to a wider public through Selma Vilhunen's 2017 film Keppihevosten vallankumous (Hobbyhorse Revolution),[6] which won two awards at the 2017 Tampere Film Festival.[7]

In Finland, the country of origin of the hobby,[8] an annual national championship is held in addition to regional competitions. This hobby, which can be classified as a fun and trend hobby, is particularly popular with girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 18[5] years[9] and is gaining popularity beyond the other Nordic countries in other parts of Europe.

While the hobby may be perceived more as a childish pastime by "real riders," Fred Sundwall, secretary general of the Finnish Equestrian Federation, views it positively: "We think it's just wonderful that hobby horsing has become a phenomenon and so popular." "It gives kids and teenagers who don't have horses a chance to interact with them outside of stables and riding schools."[10][11]

A 2022 article in the British equestrian magazine Horse & Hound said that in the UK hobbyhorsing takes place occasionally as a novelty charity fundraising or Pony Club event but that "hobbyhorse competitions are probably more likely to be seen as a bit of fun at a school sports day than as a serious competition".[5] The hobby had spread to Australia by 2016.[12]

Hobby horses

Шаблон:Unreferenced section Most hobby horses are sewn by hand. They are usually made of two halves of the head, which have an opening on the lower side, and a strip in the middle and filled with stuffing wool. The head is mounted on a stick, similar to a broom handle. Many hobby horsemen still design their hobby horses in the style of equestrian sports with elements such as snaffles, breastplates, halters, ropes and fly ears.
