And then you find more.
Some of the hobbies/ sports I have stumbled across that were a bit off the wall, so to speak:
Bicycle polo
Snail racing
Underwater hockey
Cup stacking
Horse-boarding
Worm charming
Bog snorkelling
Unicycle hockey
Extreme ironing
And now I have just come across hobby-horsing.
There’s even a world championship competition including dressage and show jumping! Just watch the video.
Well, whatever floats your boat I guess!
NB: the title picture shows actual horses

Extreme ironing???? Ha, and people made fun of me for saying I’m a professional miniature golfer!

@Fleura — yes. Retired because of my back, but I played professionally for 20 years.

@FourWalls I confess I also had no idea that was a 'thing'! So thank you for teaching me something new

Ironing in extreme situations - on surf boards, up mountains etc. Have a look
If you don't want to watch all 12 minutes, watch the first couple of minutes and then the last two minutes as well, those are the best bits!

Well well
I wouldn't have ever thought I would be watching eccentric people charming worms whilst I was on holiday
To be fair it looked like everyone was having fun
And it was nice seeing someone supporting a charity we subscribe and donate to

Anything I have to say about this is likely to offend some and possibly violate guidelines here.
The world needs nutters too, I guess.

None of these float my boat, What right now annoys me is a picture of a mouse running on the screen and the question asks do you have mice in your house?

I have seen the hobby horse one before. The funny thing is it is taken seriously!
