Hobby Horse Merlin is a noble spotted horse with a long, thick mane. Because of his spotted coat, one might mistakenly think he isn’t suited for sport, but the opposite is true. Merlin was bred specifically for sport and carriage driving and is a versatile horse with plenty of strength and determination. His spotted colouring makes him truly unique. Do you have a soft spot for spotted horses? Then don’t hesitate and make room for him in your stable.

Hobby Horse - Size S

Thanks to its ideal balance of size and weight, the S-size Hobby Horse is one of our absolute classics. It delights both young children and older athletes, and for good reason. It’s our most versatile model, perfect for play, fun, and every sporting discipline. Whether it’s show jumping, western, or dressage, indoors or outside on the grass, the S Hobby Horse is up for anything. For easy transport and space-saving storage, it comes with a removable stick. This also gives you the option to add a longer version whenever you need it.

Hobby Horse - Size M

Even though size M is one of our largest models, that doesn’t mean it can’t be ridden by everyone. Due to its weight, however, we recommend it more for experienced and taller riders. In sporty Hobby Horsing, it’s especially popular in dressage, where the added weight provides greater balance when performing individual elements. These horses also make a strong impression in western style. For maximum comfort during transport and storage, the Hobby Horse comes with a removable stick. This also gives you the option to add a longer version whenever you need it.
