THE WORLD’S BIGGEST HOBBYHORSE CHAMPIONSHIPS 

If they included western competitions like Barrel Racing and Pole Weaving, I would totally do this

Not going to lie, the height they're getting on jumps is impressive

More reasons as to why Finland is the happiest country✨

Nearly all those horses look malnourished

I think this is wonderful and very sweet. Have fun girls!

It's like hurdles for the odd ones!❤️😂😂😂

“Oh no, the kids these days are getting off the couch, exercising and socializing in a way I don’t understand ☹️” - every boomer in these comments

Thanks for making this- comedy gold. Haven’t laughed so much in years.

🤣 i cant breath... ... i cant breath... ... 🤣

This is amazing!! I love your channel Artemis!

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.

I feel like this is just a big SNL skit.

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?

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.

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!😢

No animals were harmed in the making of this video.

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 RU-vid recommendation, I definitely will be watching more. ♥Karlia

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?

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.

When you can't afford a horse 😂

I can't believe this is real. This is crazy

Got to love the Finns! I can't decide which I love the most, Hobby Horsing or Wife Carrying championships 🤣

its hard to believe that there are grown people in the world who would have time for this

Super ! ❤❤❤❤❤

It blows my mind that this is real.. at least the furries put in some effort..

If art is in the eye of the beholder, these people are blind

I’ve got an idea for your next video! I would like if you show us all of your hobby horses and their names! Btw love your Channel and your such an inspiration for me

Great highlights from this popular event. Wonderful.

ahahahahaha. we need a meteor .

I'm weirdly hooked now. I need to know what the rules are.

✅️ This is why the aliens drive on by without stopping here on Earth.

Can’t believe this is a thing but I’m here for it!

I would love to go goooooo but being 10 years old living in the uk and being 124cm tall I won’t stand a chance

Well, at least they are off their phones...

Really …? They give out trophies now for “Playing Make Believe” ?

can you film next time how you and other people perform in competitions, not like there are cuts with different people, but so that you just sit and watch how they perform😊🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Next comes Broom stick racing.

My biggest dream is coming to a real hobby horse champion. I love this videos so much🐴🐴

I love you channel!! Your horses are amazing!! Can I ask where you got your buckles? I’m trying to find some that fit 😅

😂

And the europeans call Americans crazy? LOL

I really want to go there I hope I can one day but I live in America and have a really bad fear of flying

My gooooood❤❤❤

I wish I could go ❤

🤣🤣🤣

Modern madness.

Ty jseš z česka

I want to get a hobbyhorse so bad

What did I just watch

Who clears up the poo afterwards ?

Couldn't they jump without the stick horse???

Why is this only for women?

9 out of 10 people with common sense say this is a gateway drug to becoming a furry

😢 can they please sign up for the hurdle and stop chopping off horse heads

I’m surprised a group of adults doing this would be supporting pride month so much

And they tell us go back where we came from 😂😂😂😂

Weird

Second!😊1 minute ago!

Thrd❤

This isn't right.

How come no spurs?😊

i was the 10th like! :D

I saw no men, that was a surprise

😂😂😂😂😂

😍💗

Haha

what is going on here? make believe horse contest !!! this can not be real 😂😂😂😂 my three year old does this. this 100% has to be a joke lmao. no way anyone really does this and take it seriously 😂😂

Yasss

You're not gonna go far with those horses...!!! 😆😆😆

This is fucking ridiculous

Look after your labia please.

Jak bardzo zryty beret trzeba mieć,,aby płacić tysiące za łeb konia na patyku i trzymając go między nogami przeskakiwać z nim przez płotki.? Ruch.? Można iść pobiegać i bez tego, a nie robić z siebie pajaca za taką kasę.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It seems like gen z just doesn't want to grow up

I'mma tell my kids if they ever ask for a horse, hobby horse son that is all

No è troppo ..,.

A lost generation. I guess next year there will be kids dressed as turtles and race

First! Btw i Love ittt!❤

We are all doomed i this is our world's future

Sad, So sad.

The only thing weirder than doing this is people that want to watch it.

First❤

No comment…..except FJB!
