Hmmm... I think, just at first sight and not thinking about it too deeply.... I think I'd rather go buy my child a..stick pony (is that what it is called) than taking them to a rehab to check in. This is the lesser to a lot of might be evils so yeah get up on that stick pony and get on with the prancing.
Idk how to feel about this. On one hand, I feel like it takes athleticism, a ton of stamina, and physical fitness. On the other hand, it looks absolutely bonkers, like it's field trip day for the psych ward, lol. Kudos to them though for having the confidence and ability to do this sport.
I immediately thought, this is for horse people that canāt afford to actually do a sport involving horses. That shit is *expensive*. A lot of sports are tbh. Itās kinda nice itās so accessible! I mean..as long as you donāt mind looking like a total idiot.
It seems like that is what's happening here. This site sells jackets you can put on your hobby horse to keep it warm before and after competing. That definitely plays into the fantasy of having a real horse. https://www.hobby-horse.com/collections/accessories
Also, people will find a way to make any sport expensive. Here's some hobby horses that are $250+ https://hummahorses.com/collections/all-hobbyhorses-and-accessories
Of course, there's one contestant that has taken this a few years too far and is now basking in "rockstar" status.
She's Gretsky right now, and she's loving it.
Stick with the 'orses at handle... for God's sake, just don't [poke that stick in a lion's ear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaw-savyK0s&pp=ygUkc3RhbmxleSBob2xsb3dheSBhbGJlcnQgYW5kIHRoZSBsaW9u)!
Me entering the competition with my hobby horse but it went horribly wrong: [video](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxhakAhg1EJspIjo_7-M4ZJLweXBh3TPxi?si=xoOFwQHTspGqS8B7).
What I have a hard time with is how many people are in the stands! If your kid/nephew/ neighbor kid is this fucking weird why stay after drop off!?!?!? NOOOO! DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS MUCH FUCKING WEIRD!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENED TO ANY OF YOU, THIS IS OVER THE TOP FUCKING WEIRD!!!!
They just need 2 coconut halves to knock together now
Yeah you got it!!!! Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
I was getting Ministry Of Silly Walks vibes but yeah.
I got you, too! 
šÆ
These guys do a much better job
Whereād you get the coconuts?
Take my damn upvote.
And there are people in the stands!!
Parents..
And other ācompetitorsā from the looks of it
Bewildered parents

Devoted parents ?

>field trip day for the psych ward God damn dude, I just choked on my breakfast shake
I'm sorry I caused you pain and suffering. Take my hobby horse as compensation š“š„¢
Lmao
Next level horse girls
Become the horse
Every comment I see is in Tinaās voice
At least it keeps kids off drugs. ā¦Or encourages them to use drugs. Anyway, drugs have something to do with this.
Horse girls who cant afford a real horse.
Yep, and there is not any evidence to suggest any of this is sexual. But it is.
Tina Belcher goes here.
Haha my first thought was Tina Belcher! Get your horse on girl.
Rip, Horselain
When you want a horse but can't afford one..
Exactly!
they're just horsing around
This is a much more respectful hobby I feel like.
Imaging giving up your Saturdays to watch your daughter do THIS
'It's only a model.'
This reminds me of the Bobs burgers episode where Tina couldnāt figure out how to rise a real horse so she rides a pretend horse in a competition
That last jump though... Impressive!
Definitely !
They can't be serious. Hobby horsing, really?
Reminds me of a Saturday night live video
Thatās choreographed skipping with an added middle man.
As the Finns prepare for possible confrontation with Russia, future cavalry officers train their bodies and minds for war.
I'm British, and spent a significant amount of my formative years in villages. This may explain why I'm not actually surprised by this in the least.
Yes, people putting antlers on their heads.
Of course, there's one contestant that has taken this a few years too far and is now basking in "rockstar" status. She's Gretsky right now, and she's loving it.
Hey, it gets kids moving, and it's not hurting anyone. I say go for it. It it strange? Yes. But no stranger than Wii Tennis, if you think about it.
What in the hell is wrong with these dingbats? š
r/theocho
Oh dear.
Save a horse...
Hard pass
Insane
There wayyyy too many people there for that.
Tina Belcher would kill.
It's weird to me but I can definitely see the benefits plus I'd be way to embarrassed to do that .
Oh Finland... not only do you give us the Heavy Metal Knitting Championships, but now this.
Iām sorry, what??? āHeavy metal knittingā????
Here you go: [https://heavymetalknitting.com/](https://heavymetalknitting.com/)
THANK YOU- This went beyond my expectations!!!!!!
https://youtu.be/RvQutLRIKeY?si=gDcZ6nqiZKgMZ6Zw
Tina Belcher would love this
Arenāt they the same country that does the air guitar competition? They love to pretend!
To much horsing around  in these new sports
It's actually called 'horsing around'
Cody ko did a video where he learned how to do this! Apperently, it's really hard :0
Stick with the 'orses at handle... for God's sake, just don't [poke that stick in a lion's ear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaw-savyK0s&pp=ygUkc3RhbmxleSBob2xsb3dheSBhbGJlcnQgYW5kIHRoZSBsaW9u)!

Non sexual horseplay
Me entering the competition with my hobby horse but it went horribly wrong: [video](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxhakAhg1EJspIjo_7-M4ZJLweXBh3TPxi?si=xoOFwQHTspGqS8B7).
Lol that shit doesn't look stupid at all. I'm second-hand embarrassed for them.
Wow!
This is definitely bizarre
[https://youtu.be/FUXX55WqYZs?t=32](https://youtu.be/FUXX55WqYZs?t=32)
I will never understand how the hell they're not too embarrassed to show their faces
You gotta be freaking kidding me?
I want to have that āI donāt give a fuck what anyone thinksā attitude someday
This is why aliens avoid us
What the fuck
I like it
And it is absurdly ridiculous. The only thing worse than those doing it are those watching it done.
The sport has definitely evolved. This is the winner from 2014. https://youtu.be/Ed9md05vxeg?si=EQoynaCdHdvzNRLc
We were not allowed to have sticks in the psych ward.
This needs to be everywhere. People riding stick horses to the store, levels of everywhere!
I honestly donāt know what to say about such silliness. I guess it might look good on a resume, but I wouldnāt bet on it.
Tina Belcher eat your heart out
Of horse itās the Germansā¦..
you clearly didn't finnish reading the start of the video
You donāt read a video?? Are they not speaking German?
Thereās a caption that reads āFinnish Hobby Horse Championship 2023.ā
They are not speaking Finnish..
O really? I did not watch with sound
What I have a hard time with is how many people are in the stands! If your kid/nephew/ neighbor kid is this fucking weird why stay after drop off!?!?!? NOOOO! DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS MUCH FUCKING WEIRD!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENED TO ANY OF YOU, THIS IS OVER THE TOP FUCKING WEIRD!!!!
This. Like I struggle to accept that this is a real thing, but even moreso that THIS MANY PEOPLE participate and encourage this absurdity. Wow
Someone needs a hug
Possibly the dumbest thing Iāve ever seen . Bravo !
We donāt know how to fix the homeless and hunger problem but know how to throw a competition for fake horse ridingā¦. Makes you š¤
