Cheval Roi Hobby Horse - Diva (2024 Model)
A beautiful light-coloured horse, eagerly "whinnying" for its owner and ready to shine on both show jumping courses and dressage arenas — or gallop straight into imaginative role play.
Unlike previous hobby horses, Diva now features a metal threaded joint, so the head and stick can easily be taken apart.
The Diva hobby horse from Cheval Roi is now hand-stuffed around a moulded foam core, helping it keep its shape even better — ride after ride. It also features a hand-stitched, rustic seam on the left side of the neck, which is more visible than the machine-stitched seam found on earlier models — see photo 2. Some hobby horses think it looks pretty cool, while others simply toss their mane to show off their best side.
The 2024 models are lighter than previous hobby horses, making them easier for your child to carry and ride.
With a nicely sized forelock and mane, your child can easily brush, braid, and style their horse just the way they like.
A wonderful hobby horse for imaginative play, dress-up fun, and backyard tournaments with friends.Â

What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Hobby horses should not be underestimated. With one or more hobby horses stabled at home, they have ready access to physical activity, social play, and imaginative play, in fun horse games.
Build obstacles, braid the mane, and organise a race or a horse show – or buy equipment to set up a show jumping course or a dressage arena in your garden or on the playground. Hobby horses are true classics for a good reason. That's why all of us at ToyAcademy just love the fact that hobby horses are enjoying quite a revival among children, teens, and adults alike.
Does the hobby horse need tack? Then it’s important to remember to make sure that your tack and your hobby horse are the same brand. That way you can be sure that the tack will be the right size for your hobby horse.
The activity supports skill development and is great for your child's well-being:
- Excellent for stimulating your child's sense of empathy.
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- In role play, your child imitates us adults and experiments with everyday situations or their own universe.
