They featured in German and Spanish artwork, 18th century Anglo-Irish literature and still play a part in folk traditions today, such as May Day celebrations and Morris dancing. However, it’s only been the past decade that the sport of “hobbyhorsing” has really taken off, although in Finland the trend has been quietly growing since the 19th century.
