1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,119
Speaker 1: You're listening to women Woody.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: Now though.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 3: Hobby horsing, will hobby horsing.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 2: Can you explain to everyone what hobby horsing is?

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: Because sure so when you see children a lot on

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 3: the stick horses, it's a horsehead on a stick and

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: they and they run around pretending they're on a horse, right,

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: that's you see that with kids all the time. Now,

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: what is I think truly awesome news is that hobby

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: horsing has gone viral on TikTok. Adults are getting back

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: into hobby horsing, into it. They're doing it, and they're

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: doing it competitively. So it's like it's like you're watching

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: an equestrian with all the obstacles and stuff, and they

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: take it very seriously.

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: They don't take it seriously.

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: There is a world championship will happening in twenty twenty

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: four in Finland.

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: And I am running around either side with your legs

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: other side of a stick.

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: And you jump over the jumps and you've got to

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: do it and start. Well, I tell you who can

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 3: talk about it more? Will the I think we've got

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: resident I'm not sure if you're the president or not,

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: but we've got Coraally here from Hobby Horse Australia. Hello, Coraly, how.

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Are you going?

26
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm really good and I genuinely am excited about this, Coraally,

27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: Now a question for you to kick things off. Are

28
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: you going to be competing in Finland in twenty twenty four?

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Definitely not okay, because I'm a little bit past that now.

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather be on real horses in their legs rather

31
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: than mine. Yeah, it's a very athletic sport.

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, hobby horsing is, Coraally, Yeah, hobby horsing is a

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 2: very athletic sport.

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: That's correct, right.

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: That's because you're the one doing the jumps will at

36
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: the end, and you've got to get the stick horse

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: over these jumps. Now, Coral, I've got to ask you

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: how did you get into hobbyhorsing? So no doubt you

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: would have been into the stick horse stuff when you

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: were a kid, but how did you get back into

41
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: hobby horsing in later life?

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: Well, I was organizing a question an event and wanting

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: to get lots of people there, and I heard about

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: the competitions in Finland where they attracted from three hundred entries,

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: probably crowds of three or four five thousand watching, and

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I thought, well, let's bring it to Australia, and so

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: we've been giving a go since then for five or

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: two years and getting people more and more interested in it.

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: Absolutely outstanding and so Coralie. Some practical questions here, How

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: does one choose their stick horse or does the stick

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: horse choose you?

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: Well, it could be either or couldn't it. Some people

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: make their own own stick horses, don't have to be

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: pretty good and pretty artistic to do.

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: So, Yeah, what do you mean sure? Who else makes

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: the stick horse? This isn't like Olivander's wands? I mean

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: you're not like, surely there's not like a stick horse maker.

58
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 2: That's a Harry Potter reference for everyone playing at home.

59
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: But I think they might be in Europe because they're

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: selling pot three, four or five hundred dollars over.

61
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: There for a stick horse a horse stick right, and so.

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: No more little kiddy stuff. This is a real deal.

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: Sorry, Curly. Can I just make sure like you're you're

64
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: being one hundreder cent serious here, aren't you?

65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely. You saw the young people having simon connecting

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and just outside, getting getting going and doing everything physically.

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: We were at an event on the weekend and the

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: girls were jumping one point one wow wow wow.

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do the noise of the horse as they go.

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: No, they just concentrate on the jump.

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: You don't get extra points for doing a name chucking

72
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: a name in there?

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: No, No, because I actually don't ever see real horse

74
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: name as they go over a jump. Anyway.

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: That's a great point, unrealistic check mate, And so Coral,

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: you're not competing in Finland. But do you do you? Firstly,

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: do you have a stick horse?

78
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: Me? No, I've given her the way. I encourage the

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: young ones to get into it. Now to pasture, trying

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,559
Speaker 1: to be more the steering committee.

81
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so you're in the committee, but run us

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: through when you were getting out there on the stick horse.

83
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: Can you just run us through like the enjoyment of

84
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: it or why were you so into it when you

85
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: were doing it currently?

86
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Well as an old girl, I was really doing it

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: to put my money where my mouth was. All my

88
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: horse was, so to speak. I'm just encouraging others to

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: do and I did not do the jumping. I was

90
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: into the dress rush, which was all dress a little

91
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: bit less physical.

92
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: What does dressage on a stick horse involved? If you

93
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: don't mind me asking where do you.

94
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: Have to look that up? A real horse is about

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: training around the.

96
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: Marina and doing exactly no dressage on a real horse.

97
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: I get it, there's definitely a spectacle there.

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: But yep, so same rules, same rule, So you warn

99
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: your rules on the stick horse and maybe progress to

100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: you a real horse if you wanted to.

101
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like there's a bit of a there's

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: a quantum leap between putting legs either side of a

103
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: broom and having a bit of a a play around

104
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: and jumping on a real horse. Personally got a broom,

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: personally got a broom, had well, people got to start

106
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 2: somewhere woods, but all have have you know, elite hobby

107
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: horses there three or four hundred dollars a pop.

108
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 3: What happens if you rock up in Finland with a

109
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: broom curly? Would you get disqualified?

110
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Most likely? I'm not quite sure what the year check

111
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: wheels are, but more likely they wouldn't pass the bet check.

112
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: They wouldn't pass the Bechally good on you.

113
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: I just can't wait to see when the Australian team

114
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: rocks up in Finland or everyone does the oversized baggage

115
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: spit at the fin The airport is just gonna be.

116
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240
