[@rokoklemetti1583]

Editing did her dirty, I think it would have been better to have little explainer about hobby horsing and not use simple surprise from real horse to hobby horse, which lessened the value of this sport. Nevertheless Ada did good to get this sport some more exposure, too bad she said she is the world champion and failed in the end

[@nomiefilms2532]

what a weird night 😅

[@charlielynne7550]

I found her youtube channel... She's extremely fast and agile. I think her issue with this audition was: She had the bars too high.. And people aren't accustomed to this type of sportsmanship... If she would have showed her speed and agility. It would have excited the crowd. And then maybe at the end she could have done a high bar? She started off at the highest level with the hardest ones to jump. And got nervous.. looked slow and unprepared

[@kevinhabanero6789]

More like AGT set the bar too low which enabled this ridiculous act to take the stage!!! Where were those red buzzers???! Unless maybe it was a comedy act???🤡🤡🤡🐴🐴🐴

[@rainedyani8505]

I’m with the no’s. It was just too weird.

[@NickZone-ep2fn]

She knocked over the bar and they should’ve buzzed. They should buzz when mistakes happen in the act

[@Heikki_Finland]

I don't think it was failing. The act was more about mimicing horsing than actually clearing all the obstacles. She could have set them lower if she really wanted to clear them, but knocking some off gave more content to the show and better mimiced real horsing.

[@oltsu96]

Simon said "no" in swedish when he should say it in finnish.😂😂😂 Hyvä Ada! Nuo on vaa liian typeriä ymmärtääkseen 😇 vois tulla nuo hienikset käymään Suomessa

[@Blossom-hobby-horses]

I do hobby horsing myself and I was so excited to see her doing it because I’ve never seen anyone do it on agt so I got so excited I think that hobby horsing isn’t really the performance they look for though it’s just not something the judges were looking for and Ada took it very well she was accepted the fact she didn’t make it which I love about her I’m glad she came out and introduced it to people who didn’t know about it

[@PinkerPanda]

This is a very bad example of hobby horsing! It didn't look good and the jumps weren't even high.

[@CC-zf4yv]

@@PinkerPandaI think the stage is probably too small and also have potential to fall off the front. She looked scared how close she was after the first jump. It might have worked better outside in the car park? And it might not!

you can’t bring a horse on a stage like that. it’s not safe. horses should only really be ridden on grass or sand something softer like that coming from an actual equestrian but this is ridiculous and it’s apparently going to be in the olympics😂

Same. This audition was just too weird!

[@TRACEWORLD2]

Why so many bad acts this year? Even if she didn't mess up this would not have been any good😂

[@ttiwaz4398]

When I first found out about this hobby a couple of years ago I thought it was silly. I still think it's silly (as an adult woman) but horse crazy kids and early teens absolutely love this hobby/sport. Kids which hobbied this and developed it being a gymnastic sport like Ada still hobby this as an adult. They have serious competitions with it. There is also a big market for the hobby horse heads. People get to craft and tune their horse heads and some horse heads are collectible. These young women don't care if they get bullied a lot in schools and social media having this unusual hobby they are proud having their own girly thing and community. This has became a phenomenon in Finland (where this gymnastic hobby was invented and developed) and other nordic countries and it has already spread in Europe and it's taking some place in US too now after years. So I think Simon Cowell did a big mistake not voting Yes. Adults don't necessary get this but young girls do. So after all this is not silly when thinking about the business.

I understand when you see something new, most of the people start laughing. I kinda even understand that, when you can't do that yourself, you start mocking. "It's a kids play" "it's not a real sport" "i can do it in a wheelchair". I'd suggest you to pay attention how much exercising this takes. Forget the horse head for a second and maybe you can actually see it's a real sport. And if you say it's not, how jogging or jumping is then? And I bet my hat you can't do this trotting and jumping from a wheelchair or you're a miracle. Just becauae you make a fool out of yourself when leaving these comments, doesn't mean she's the fool. And definitely doesn't make you a better person. You should learn from Howie. And all those who commented on her age or looks, just show a brilliant example of online bullying. Her looks has nothing to do with her act. Grow up.

[@Wimbold]

Why does the horse head need to be there?

[@Svuid]

@Wimbold For me, it makes sense as you trot like horses do, like look at those ankles & feet. Since you usually do over fence jumping with a horse, it's quite understandable that it's a horse head on a stick. But that's just my guess :) What comes to just the history of having a horse head on a stick goes as far back as to 1800.
