[@hors3g1rl94]

I've read over multiple comments and would just like to add something to it. Today, I went out (only into my backyard) to do quadrobics and hobby horsing. Both are tiring, and both are difficult. I've never done hobby horsing before, but I could only get a few walk-trot-canter circles done and jump over a tiny raised wooden pole jump (maybe 10 or 15 cm tall) about four times, and then I was already sweating and feeling tired and sore. I only did two circles of trot where I tried to get a good form and raise my knees high, but on the second circle, my legs were feeling heavy and I could barely keep trotting. Mind you, I am a healthy young person who typically has a lot of energy. Before, I would laugh at this, think it's funny, but then I gave myself a mental slap for getting so worked up over people beiung themselves and having fun. As a quadrobist, I feel ashamed for ever thinking that. Running and jumping around with a stick horse or on all fours both seem extremely easy, yet both are very difficult. I do horseback riding (I can canter well and I'm going to soon learn how to jump), and my parents promised to buy me my own horse when I start competing as we have the money and time to afford it, but I won't stop doing either even when I do get a real horse - I'm saying this because a lot of people are saying to just 'go get a real horse' or 'ride a real horse'. But either way, most importantly, these people are going out to do what they love and enjoy despite the negativity they recieve for it. You may say they are wasting their life or doing something stupid, yet here you are, spamming hate on your little keyboards targeted at some kids that are just having fun. I think we both know who's wasting their time here. I saw this argument be used already, but I will repeat it: take hurdles, raise the jumps, add a stick horse, and boom. Hurdles is a sport. So why can hobby horsing not be a sport? I rest my case.

[@MeganDalton-th2bz]

Just saw this on Americas Got Talent! The girl from Finland had won multiple championships, but was nervous as she should be and only knocked down two of the highest poles. All I can say is that I was absolutely disgusted with the Judges Sophia and Heidi! They were mean and absolute B!t@hes to the poor girl by humiliating her to where she almost cried! Simon sat there confused and the only person in the whole theater that knew what this was and how hard it is was Howie Mandel! So sad! I guess America just isn’t ready for this!😢

[@ChristopherMarsh-ii6or]

I genuinely think all of the people who hate on these hobby horsers are allergic to happiness. Like- let these ppl live their lives. They aren't physically harming you. So what if you dont like content like this? There's a thing called "ignore." Use it.

[@BruceBerry-g4b]

Freedom is a great thing. So riding a hobby horse if that is your wish is your choice. But so is stating what a person thinks. Hobbie horse competition seems to be a intensional reliving of a childhood pastime. To call it a competition is a pretense as seems to be the general trend these days. Similar to the pretense of a man pretending to be a woman. It can be said this trend of pretense is postmodernism. The insane Marxist pretense of rebelling against reality to create a world of your desires.

[@lanceng4295]

It’s funny and I laughed. But I sincerely respect them, because they did what they like despite all the negativity from everyone else. How many of you negative commenters can say the same?

[@MarzzRover]

I have only just discovered the sport. I'm deeply saddened that there isn't any place local to me that does this kind of event, but I'm just happy to know that it exists at all. I will admire from afar.

So thx to the hobby horse persons we are save from aliens! Great! BTW When I looked this I couldn't do any of this in this precise manner. Real impressed. Also no animals harmed, also cool and also not something only for the rich..

[@stonehobbit]

Next comes Broom stick racing.

[@karlia_mc]

Show jumping is truly astonishing; I dare anyone who scoffs at it to try clinging to an object that must stay put and leap those heights without using their arms for balance or propulsion. As for the dressage, pure elegance - a delight to behold. I had never encountered this sport before, but thanks to a random KZbin recommendation, I definitely will be watching more. ♥Karlia

[@dinosaursprinkles9669]

So impressive!

[@pbbrut]

What you get when you mix Monty Python and a country that has 8 straight months of snow. The only thing that would make this better is a person galloping behind them clopping coconuts together.

[@gitrpicr9917]

Aside from being hilarious, a lot of those moves are anything but easy. Is it a rumor or is hobby horse competition really going to be in the Olympics this year?

these aren't furry's. furrys dress up as animals, they're holding a fake one.

Are you trying to imply that kids can’t enjoy themselves? I don’t get why people are getting so pressed about kids like 10-13 playing with plushie horses on a stick. Effort with what? People are so stupid these days. What do furries even have to do with hobbyhorses? Who knows. People hate for no reason.

@@MFnDahkthere is people of all ages that do it, that’s what makes it so fun and the community so welcoming. Most sports now days is all kids and teens and it gets super toxic and drama filled and none of the adults step in so really it’s super cool that all ages do it
