Hobby Horsing

Sometimes a sport comes out of nowhere to capture a massive and unlikely following. Think pickleball, or F1.
- Or, yes, hobby horsing.
Originating in Finland, this peculiar sport has gained immense popularity in recent years, seeing growing numbers of participants and organized events across Germany and the UK.

In hobby horsing, participants (so far skewing heavily toward teenage girls) ride wooden stick horses as they prance around a gym mimicking the movements and techniques of real equestrian events, such as dressage and show jumping.

At first glance, the sport might appear silly, but it reportedly requires considerable athleticism, balance, and creativity, as participants perform intricate routines. And despite its playful nature, hobby horsing is taken quite seriously by its enthusiasts, who craft—and usually name—their own custom horses and train diligently.

“Hobby horsing just gives me self-confidence and I just enjoy doing it with other people,” Max Gohde, a 15-year-old German competitor told the AP.
“Now there’s also this atmosphere here, where everyone is just happy for you. And I think that’s just really cool.”

As the Guardian reported, hobby horsing is “no joke,” and that “the British Show Pony Society (BSPS) is set to ‘embrace the hobby horse craze’ by introducing a competition with £300 prizes for the young winners.”
