A hobby horse is a toy that looks like a horse but it doesn't have real legs or can run like a real horse. Instead, it looks like a stick with a horse head on top and you hold onto it like a broomstick. You can pretend to ride the hobby horse like a real horse and imagine you're galloping through fields and jumping over obstacles. It's a fun toy that helps your imagination run wild and lets you mimic activities that you might see real horses do. Some people even use hobby horses for activities like racing and equestrian shows. It's a great way to pretend to be a horseback rider without having to actually ride a real horse!
