When Sarah (13) discovers the Finnish sport of ‚hobby horsing‘ online – in which teenagers compete in tournaments on hobby horses – she is immediately hooked. Her best friend Dilek (13) feels that this embarrassing new hobby is jeopardising her street credibility; the two fall apart and Sarah is left on her own for the time being. But then she meets Beatrice (13), a real horse rider who is suffering under the pressure of her ambitious mother, and the two of them set off on their own to the big Hobby Horsing Championship in Finland.

HORSE ON A STICK is a feel-good family adventure rooted in the real global phenomenon of hobby horsing. It’s a story about following your passion no matter what others think, and finding your people along the way. Directed by Sonja Maria Kröner and produced by Lieblingsfilm (MOUNTAIN MIRACLE, DEAR MR. FÜHRER) — the acclaimed German production company behind EXTRAWURST, Germany’s most successful box office release of 2026.
