Hobby Horse: DIY stick pony
Hobby Horsing – that’s is a sport with gymnastic elements that found its origin in Finland, from where it spread more and more. But the modern Hobby Horses don’t look like cute toys from grandma’s attic, but are made as realistically as possible.
The riders often sew them themselves. And it’s not as difficult as you might think – you can make a Hobby Horse yourself too! Mastery skills on the sewing machine are not necessary at all. And did you know that most Hobby Horse fans from the very beginning sew their horses entirely by hand?
Hobby Horsing – great fun not just for the small ones!
Whether you want to sew a stick pony as a toy for a child or as a competition Hobby Horse (yes, there are even real Hobby Horse tournaments!), making a stick horse is best done with detailed instructions that explain each step in detail and with a lot of pictures.
Then, if you already have some experience with sewing, you can sew a really great Hobby Horse according to your very own ideas. You can easily vary the color of coat, mane, blazes, fur patches and eyes and bring your dream horse to life.
