stick horse

Child's fake mount

A stick horse is a child's toy consisting of a horse head—usually fabric-stuffed or plastic—mounted on a stick or pole.

The child straddles the stick and pretends to ride, galloping around while holding the "reins." Also called a hobby horse, though hobby horse has additional meanings.
