Water hobby horse trend makes splash on TikTok

Hobby horsing is an unusual form of sport in which participants known as "hobby horse riders" perform various competitions while riding a horse on a wooden stick (hobby horse). It is a type of play that combines elements of horse riding with creativity and competition. The sport originated in Finland. It is currently most prevalent among children and adolescents.

TikTok, previously known as Musical.ly, is a social platform that has gained enormous popularity worldwide in a short time. The app allows users to create, share, and view short videos. New trends and challenges often appear on the platform.

One internet user came up with a brilliant idea. She decided to create a water version of the hobby horse. She even posted a tutorial on TikTok on how to make an innovative toy. You just need to buy a pool noodle and cut it appropriately. Then, attach eyes and ears. You can also opt for a less demanding option—buy a ready-made product online. The tutorial video has gone viral. So far, nearly 900,000 people have watched it, and 60 thousand have liked it.

A load of comments appeared under the video. Many hobby horse enthusiasts were thrilled with the water-based equivalent of the sport: "I have a new hobby: I'm a water hobby horse enthusiast," "'Water horse' is a better name," "I want a water hobby horse," "Let's make water hobby horses for camp," "I want a water hobby horse," "What a great idea, I need to convince other hobby horse enthusiasts," "New activity for the summer." Judging by the considerable interest from fans of the unusual sport, the water hobby horse could be a hit this summer. Will the trend go viral?
