What is a Hobby Horse?

A hobby horse is a child’s toy that lets them "ride" by holding onto the stick and imagining they’re galloping on a real horse.

The term "hobby horse" dates back to the 1400s, originally referring to a small or medium-sized horse. By the 1500s, it was being used for a stick-mounted horse's head, much like the ones we see today. Fast-forward to now, and hobby horses are not only a timeless toy but also the stars of organised competitions and fun events for children.

And for those who are new to the world of hobby horses, they’re not just about casual play. Children can learn coordination, build confidence, and even prepare for real horse riding through hobby horse activities. They make the perfect gift for kids who love animals. 

What Age is a Hobby Horse For?

LeMieux Hobby Horses are designed for children aged 3 and up.

By this age, kids are starting to develop the physical coordination needed to "ride" their new toy horse, and their imaginations are flourishing. Whether they’re riding solo across a make-believe countryside or trotting alongside friends at a riding camp, these toys help bring out the adventurer in every child.

These hobby horses are perfect for children who already have a love for horses or for those who are just starting to discover the joy of the equestrian world.
