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]
