Finnish Field Day: Hobby Horse Games

Hobby horses, also known as stick horses, have been part of play, parody, and performance for centuries. In 2017, hobby horsing gained popularity with Selma Vilhunen’s documentary Keppihevosten vallankumous (Hobbyhorse Revolution). Now it’s your turn to join the fun! Make your own hobby horse—or bring a one from home—and enjoy a day of jumps, races, and dressage-inspired dancing. It’s a celebration of creativity, movement, and community for all ages. Hobby horses: $10 each. For more information or to reserve your spot, call 309-927-3898 or email [email protected]. Come ride, play, and be part of this joyful tradition!
