[@Kate-is5mz]

I live for the ridiculous and stupidly hilarious things. The first time I saw this sport I laughed my ass off but I seriously didn't think anything of those people other than "what a bunch of legends". I've seen recently people in some place in the world who have a contest where they let frogs out and touch their bums so that they jump. And then they race frogs like that and try to jump them through a finish line. It's a serious thing, no one's fucking around and laughing, they're all fully invested in the suspense and cheering for the outcome, the whole community comes together to participate in this, most people have their own frog, etc. They literally found a purpose in that ridiculous, absurd activity and I had nothing but outmost respect for them while everyone in the comments were laughing and making fun of them. To me, these are the type of people that actually live life to the fullest and enjoy the ride - absolute legends. Sorry for a long and weird reply lol

I was able to show her this video where she could see Alisa’s confidence in her sport, and see you opening yourself up to be accepting and try new opportunities. I don’t know if she’ll be hobby horsing as an adult, but as a child she goes boldly on knowing somewhere out there other people have her same interests.

As a horse girl who used to do this with and without a hobby horse, as in prance around and jump over things constantly. It's super nostalgic and wholesome to see this becoming more accepted even if it's not really in the USA. But thank you Cody for bringing awareness to just how exactly taxing this acceptably odd sport is. This and real horses are the main reasons why I lived an incredibly active and happy life when I was a kid, and still do. Many times at real horseshows, the kids would gather in the arenas and have our own little people competitions after the day was over, and we'd have insane amounts of fun. And it's actually branched out into creating opportunities for me later in life as I decided that since hobby horsing wasn't very accepted and becoming a top professional in the real horse industry is mostly unrealistic for non-nepo babies I took up track and hurdling in highschool, and I got good enough to earn a scholarship at the D2 level. I have been a 400 hurdler for nearly 6 years now and have consistently been on the podium in my areas conference every year so far, and now I'm a senior wrapping it up.

I love this so much because he’s making it clear that even if someone thinks it’s goofy or dumb, it shouldn’t be outright insulted, because people just wanna enjoy shit, and they should be allowed to. I’ve always said that if I see something cringey, if the person is happy, I’ll never say anything. I value people’s happiness over my personal response of “oh cringe”. ❤❤❤

the best/worst part is how goddamn expensive hobbyhorses are and watching cody throw it around 😭

[@ddot9566]

You can just look at them and tell they must be expensive. My jaw was on the floor when he dropped the horse of the ground at the end of his routine.

[@livs9961]

as a certified horse girl watching Cody do actual dressage moves is pure gold he such a good horse

[@MegaDerpification]

The utter silence with just heavy gasping breaths and foot falls is the best thing cody has ever posted

[@nina.k666]

This is so damn wholesome dude. It's nice to see a youtuber with actual social skills and charm.

[@iamsocks]

the actual core strength it must take to do this regular is amazing. it's surely a great aerobic exercise as well. can't knock anyone who does it bc they're more fit than i am

[@brittskicks9800]

I really like that he took it seriously at the end and gave it his genuine best! What a man❤

[@raphaelgordh8251]

this is incredible, Cody. you're truly a renaissance man in a time when we need it the most.

[@Karionyte]

[@katrinhalookca]

This has to be my favourite Cody Ko video. I appreciate the effort you put in, risking embarrassment, and treating the sport with respect. Plus I laughed my ass off through the whole thing, so made my day! 100% proud of you for putting it out there.

[@ETGlifers_xo08]

I do hobby horsing,I dint compete I do it for fun,bc I do real horse riding but I do it for fun and I know some pepole don’t like it,but I don’t like when your competeing,I just do it for fun❤

[@che3zeitzchrist]

its really neat to watch you go from making a video to connecting with them in person & trying to get to learn their niche definitely my favorite part of watching over the years

[@yea0000]

yessss

[@milkyard8431]

I'm so glad that footage was posted raw, I laughed my ass off the whole time

[@americachavez2846]

The heavy breathing and no bg music during the floor routine was seriously reminding me of that scene from P-Valley where you see a girl pole dancing and it looks effortless and then they cut to her with no music and she’s breathing super heavy. I unironically love that shit lol. It gives you more respect for stuff that people devalue as being stupid or easy but is actually a skill that requires talent and strength. So cool that Cody gave this a try

[@pokie_bird]

hearing the heavy breathing the stifled laugh and the foot steps is what makes my day
