Children and adults have been riding hobby horses, or stick horses, for centuries for play, to mock elites, and re-enactments. In 2017, hobby horsing competitions (where teenagers and young adults mimicked horse competitions) were introduced to the public through Selma Vilhunen's 2017 film Keppihevosten vallankumous (Hobbyhorse Revolution). Come make a hobby horse or bring your own and enjoy a day of jumps, races and dressage/dancing. Hobby horses are $10 each, but you are welcome to bring your own for free. Supplies are limited and reservations are suggested. Call 309-927-3898 or email [email protected] for more information.
