See the following:

> **[Finnish Hobbyhorse Championships 2024](https://keppihevostensm.fi/en/home/)**
>
> Finnish Hobbyhorse Championships is the largest hobbyhorse event of the year organized by Finnish Hobbyhorse Association.

or

“Finnish Hobby Horse Championships 2023” on YouTube.

Google will bring up much more. Discourse wouldn’t let me post a Youtube link.

I don’t think it is necessary for me to ask a question or state an opinion in this post. Anyone who views these links will quickly formulate their own opinions and/or questions.
