The annual Finnish Hobbyhorse Championships is a competition that simulates the gymnastic elements of real-life horseback riding.

Hobby horse riding (aka: stick horse riding) is becoming more popular globally.

Women gallop, jump and prance with their homemade stuffed horse heads on a wooden stick in the physically demanding competition as over 2,500 spectators watch.

One of the world’s top riders is Alisa Aarniomaki from Helsinki.
