I love the forequarters on that steed! I wonder if she yields her forequarters?
Bet this gal will be single and living with her cats in 20 years
You really finnished the internet this time.
I see what you did there.
Ha!
Some lives are so trivial that we are blessed not to live them.
Or can take pleasure in the harmless, unexpected, and fun. Your choice.
Stopping to smell the flowers is seen as a waste of time by many.
Susu!
This species has amused itself to death.
Ha! Thousands on lessons and horse leases (and those who been around horses, know that these beautiful creatures are always finding a way to finish themselves); countless hours picking stalls; trailing to-and-fro; ribbons earned through hard work and horsemanship. And you tell me that all what was needed was… a prop and my own jumping skills?! Holy crap, my family was robbed.
I was going to ask if a dirt-bike could identify as a hobby horse, then saw the number of jumps/hops that were expected. There has to be some way that the woke could play or ruin this, but what? (No, that’s not a challenge.)
First they nail some testicles on the stick, and then they knock ’em off.
Well done! I winced whilst reading. (On the assumption that the testiculars were still attached to the individulicar to whom they originally belonged.)
Those are words, right? Jeff Foxworthy speaks in engle-ish, right?
Unless he ends up “proud cut”, then there may be problems…
Minimal CO2 (Methane) output…
L – Am I the only one, who thinks the Finnish Hobbyhorse races
reminds me of Saskatoon City Council meetings?
It’s harder than it looks.
I disagree – some of those jumps look hard. I’m not sure I could have done all of them in my younger days, but there’s no way this grandpa could do them all today.
Otoh, I do love the earnestness on their faces as they proceed through the dressage steps.
Firstly, it’s already been done by Monty Python in “Grail” and secondly, do they make their own “clip clop” sounds?
There are no coconuts in Finland.
Dere are no coke u nuts in da white haus.
They could have been carried there by the swallows
What type of swallow? Ahhhhh….
ok, I got nuthin.
She’s a fine little filly.
Little on the skinny side.
And the puppet on a stick is stupid too.
Oh well. At least it’s a horse on a stick. In Canada it would be a squid on a noodle.
Used to be a men’s league, but there were too many painful and serious . . . injuries.
I saw a clip from this last night. These people are having a lot of fun. I have to admit, though, that the whole time I was watching, I could hear coconut shells going clop clip in the back of my head.
My parents were both Finnish. They hated the culture. The LAST thing they wanted me to learn was the language.
I was once in Helsinki and a had a very friendly conversation with a local shopkeeper who spoke excellent English. I said rather lightly that I should try to learn Finnish and he got quite suddenly serious, and told me, “Oh no, don’t do that to yourself! It’s far too hard! We wouldn’t learn it if we didn’t have to.”

The Finnish Wife Carry Contest is still a thing.
