What a hobby horse? Ive never heard of one
It looks like a horse but it was held up by springs, one on each corner. Actually they could also rock or put it between your legs like a broom.

Oh yeah, my brother and I had one of those, I just never knew what it was called.

I kept riding mine even when one of the back springs broke. I think it tore out of the plastic or something. I'll still play on kid's toys and playground equipment with my nephew to this day if I think they're strong enough to hold me.

Yeah I should have kept mine but finally got rid of it like 2 years ago. :lol1: Thought I would keep it for when I had children but started to get weathered. Oh well I guess when that day comes I'll just have to get the new Mustang/Hobby Horse model. :-D

Hell yes I had one. I used to get my sherrifs badge from cracker barrel on, my cap gun on my side, and wearing nothing but whitey tighty's and a t shirt hop up on that thing and ride all day. Good times, miss it. And yes, getting your leg caught in the springs hurts like hell.
