Игрушка- лошадка на палочке существует на протяжении многих веков, некоторым изображениям три тысячи лет.
Термин "hobby horse" восходит к эпохе короля Генриха VIII из Англии (Henry VIII-тот, который многоженец). Он любил скачки и гонки на лошадях и разводил их специально для гонок.
Также этими словами называли в некоторых традиционных сезонных праздниках ряженых в чучела лошадей и танец Морриса в Англии:

Так же, как сегодняшние дети подражают взрослым и любят играть в машинки и "водить автомобиль", так и в прежние времена, дети играли в скачки верхом на деревянных палочках с небольшой головой лошади ( чучела из ткани или из дерева), и иногда вожжами. Нижний конец палки иногда делался с маленьким колесом. Эту игрушку также иногда называют "cock horse"(петух- лошадь,как в английском детском стишке).
Лошадки на палочках были самой популярной детской игрушкой, выпускались сотнями тысяч. Но популярность их упала почти параллельно с заменой лошадей автомобилями и лишь немногие были сделаны после 1940 года.

Toy stick horses are a classic toy and have been around for centuries.
Just as children today imitate adults driving cars, so, in former times, children played at riding a wooden hobby-horse made of a straight stick with a small horse's head (of wood or stuffed fabric), and perhaps reins, attached to one end.
Rocking horses as we know them date from about 1750 for bow rockers and from around 1880 for horses on swing stands. . Rocking horses were made in hundreds of thousands from about 1870 to 1920.
There were hundreds of makers but sadly few were documented and so little is known about them.
Rockers declined in popularity almost in parallel with the decline of horse drawn transport and few were made after 1940.
The bottom end of the stick sometimes had a small wheel or wheels attached. This toy was also sometimes known as a cock horse (as in the nursery rhyme Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross ).
A hobby horse is not always a riding-stick like the child's toy; larger hobby-horses feature in some traditional seasonal customs (such as Mummers Plays and the Morris dance in England ), and they are constructed in several different ways. .
The term 'Hobby Horse' dates back to the era of King of England (the one with six wives). Henry and his court enjoyed all forms of gambling and King Henry introduced a stable of horses bred specifically for racing.
These were referred to as his 'Hobby Horses' - from the Middle English word 'hobi' or 'hobyn' meaning a small horse. The term 'hobby' then became synonymous with any 'Activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure'.
The word 'hobby horse' was then given to the name of a stick toy with the head or figure of a horse, on which boys make believe to ride.
