Choosing the right partner is key to your sporting success and the joy of riding. Since every brand on the market has its own sizing and proportions, we have prepared this guide tailored exclusively for our JUHI hobby horses. We care about top quality, which is why every horse is carefully handmade by our skilled employees with health disabilities directly in our sheltered workshop in the heart of Hluboká nad Vltavou. We believe 100% in our honest Czech production, which is why you receive a lifetime warranty with every horse.
To make your decision easier, let’s take a detailed look at our three main sizes: Sport Pony, Foal, and Adult Horse.
Sport Pony: Ideal for high jumping and smaller riders
Our Sport Ponies are the perfect choice for high-level show jumping and easily handle even the most challenging jumps. Thanks to their scaled-down proportions and very light weight, they are also exceptionally suitable for small children and smaller riders who find the horse easy to handle. Despite their compact size, they maintain a beautifully realistic appearance and all the advantages of larger JUHI hobby horse types.

Main Sport Pony parameters:
- Total height: 80.5 cm
- Head height: 38.5 cm
- Head width: 29 cm
- Detachable stick length: 42 cm
- Weight: 490 g (may vary slightly due to handmade production)
Foal: Lightness and agility on the course
If you are looking for a horse that is slightly larger than the Sport Pony, our Foals will be the right choice for you. They are crafted for easy handling, allowing the rider to manage even more demanding show jumping courses. The Foal offers ideal proportions for dynamic movement and looks very realistic. The stick is also equipped with a special anti-slip grip, providing maximum confidence and support during every landing and for more complex dressage elements.

Adult Horse: A suitable choice for experienced riders
Do you need a reliable sport horse that is also a magical plush toy? Our adult hobby horse is designed for maximum comfort and elegance, which stands out especially during dressage elements. The adult hobby horse shines particularly with the charm and massiveness of its head. As with all our hobby horses, you will find a special anti-slip stick finish here as well, ensuring a firm grip and stability with every jump.
