iron chefIt's strange, but I see more athleticism on display than in say, golf or competitive shooting.
For the kids, it's a more productive use of time than playing video games or being glued to their phones. Some of those kids jump impressively high and might have a future in track & field.

nukeandpaveZee Germans do similar dumb shit with the handle bars, fork and front wheel of a mountain bike.

Hobby horsing is a sport with gymnastic elements which uses hobby horses, also known as stick horses. 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.
quote:
In Finland, the country of origin of the hobby, an annual national championship is held in addition to regional competitions. This hobby, which can be classified as a fun, active and trendy hobby, is particularly popular with girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 18 years and is gaining popularity beyond the other Nordic countries in other parts of Europe.

TexasScrubI'm sorry, but when I hear the words Hobby and Horse in the same breath, this is all I ever think of:

straightshooter1Last time I rode one of those nags, I was about 6 years old. A couple of years later we bought Trigger (not THE Trigger, but a Shetland we named trigger). Lots more fun riding him than a stick.

Days later.... this appeared.

Powers77I tried to post a link but my tech skills suck.
Anyway this immediately made me think of a documentary piece I saw years ago.
Search "Pony People Roleplay" to see what I'm talking about.
It's some freaky shit.

I can get a nap in now, house cool with AC, in the recliner, NAPCAR race on TV and I'll go into mega deep rem sleep... Wake up in time for the finish and dinner.... Glorious stuff indeed...
Did you just wake up from a nap? I think you meant this post for
this thread.
Might also be a TBI from a hobby horsing incident.
I had almost every reaction on this thread when I first saw this. I didn't want to post the videos of it because sometimes "frozen" moments are funnier.
Remember, if you choose to hobby horse, beware the splintered stick!

BillyBonesNYThis ain’t right!
Kids hobby horse so when they get older they can ride a pony, horse etc.
This is so regressive.
What’s next, Olympic Swaddling?
Learn a skill, ride a real horse!
And horses are wonderful creatures, god knows I’ve loved mine like dogs.

ArtieSWhat in the ever loving nut knockery is this bullshit? Grown men mashing their onions going over horse jumps with a fucking toy!?!
I thought bronys were bad, but they are just freaks that want to fuck other freaks in horse costume. You be you. Rock on.
This shit is criminal idiocy. On the plus side, it has the potential of making a whole bunch of men infertile, and there is an undeniable plus in that.
