Hobby Horses for Sale in the UK

Looking for quality, vetted hobby horses for sale? You’re in the right place.

More than a children’s toy

Hobby horses have been around for centuries. They used to be mostly for young children, galloping round the garden on an imaginary pony.

In the last ten years, TikTok and YouTube have changed all that. Teenagers and young adults in Finland, Poland, America, Australia and right across the world now ride hobby horses in show jumping and dressage competitions. The sport has arrived in the UK, and so has the demand for a really good horse.

Why buy in the UK?

You can import hobby horses from sellers in Europe, but import taxes and delivery costs soon add up. You could end up paying far more than the horse is worth. We wanted to fix that.

A quality handmade horse can take a craftsperson a full day to make, sometimes up to 14 hours. Add good materials, and you can see why they aren’t cheap to make or to buy.

Our trusted makers

After months of vetting and quality testing, we’ve chosen some of the best UK makers and suppliers:

• ByAstrup Hobby Horses
• Handmade Hobby Horses
• WaBor

They’re all preferred suppliers, which means we bring their horses to our competitions. Riders can see, touch and hold them before choosing such a personal purchase.

See it before you buy

All our hobby horses for sale are listed in our online shop. You can either:

• pre-book a horse and collect it at a Hobby Horse Adventures competition near you, so you can check it’s exactly what you want, or
• order online and have it delivered straight to your door if our events are too far away.

At our events, every horse is on display, and plenty go home with new owners. We love seeing the smiles!

Something for every budget

Whether you’re buying a first horse for a beginner or a custom-made horse for a keen rider, we can help.

We fall in love with every colour our Handmade Hobby Horses come in. Each one takes extra time to sew together. My daughter’s bedroom is full of them, collected over several birthdays and Christmases.

Not just for children

Hobby horses are loved by all ages. Owners handle them with such care that they almost become a real pet.

We hope you enjoy browsing our hobby horses for sale. 🐴
