Hobbyhorse riders straddle a stuffed toy horse on a wooden stick, complete with glued-on eyes and mane, and compete in front of judges.

The new craze which has swept Scandinavia, is now classed as a sport. It includes dressage and showjumping and has attracted more than 10,000 athletes and followers in Finland alone.
