A Guide to the World of Hobby Horsing
Hobby horsing is a modern sports phenomenon that is gaining popularity among children and teenagers in the Czech Republic. Participants mimic the movements and techniques known from equestrian competitions, such as dressage or show jumping, but instead of a real horse, they use a so-called hobby horse – a pole with a horse's head attached. This sport develops physical fitness, coordination, and creativity.
This book is the very first official guide focused on dressage training in hobby horsing. The author, Andreas Karasek, one of the main promoters of this sport in Germany, guides readers step by step through the basics of technique, individual dressage figures, lessons, and competition rules. Everything is clearly explained, supplemented with photographs and illustrative diagrams.
In the book, you will find:
a description of the most important dressage exercises
practical training tips
competition rules, evaluation criteria, and the role of judges
The Czech edition of this book was created in collaboration with the vice president of the Czech Hobby Horsing Association, Mrs. Drahomíra Košvancová. Thanks to this collaboration, the publication is localized for Czech readers, including terminology and rules corresponding to...
