A 28-year-old woman from Finland who goes by the name Maikken online. I have been making hobbyhorses since 2008 and commission horses in smaller or bigger quantities since 2010. I graduated as a Clothing Artisan in 2014 and in 2017-2019 I had an 4H-entrepreneurship, a lighter version of a business for younger people. In September 2019 I created my own business and I plan to keep going as long as I can! This is my full-time job. In my free time, I edit videos and photos, cook and bake a lot, watch movies and spend a lot of time listening to music. Otherwise, I spend my time on hobbyhorses almost fully.
Each hobbyhorse is a unique art piece - even horses made with the same pattern are not completely identical in design. My horses are liked for their rideability and because of the different size classes, the buyer will probably find a hobbyhorse of the right size for themselves. I have always liked to make dressage horses and Finnhorses, my other favourites are welsh ponies, drafts, other heavier breeds and riding ponies. I still like to make a variety of breeds! As a maker I am precise and careful and the horses have been made to last for years with proper treatment, I concentrate on making a durable product. Unfortunately, my hobbyhorses are not intended for young children (under 10) they are more targeted at teenagers and adult enthusiasts. |
