Official Trailer for Hobbyhorsing Movie 'Horsegirls' with Gretchen Mol

"The world is very good at making people feel small. You're not afraid to be yourself." 🐴 Sumerian has debuted an official trailer for an indie film titled Horsegirls, a coming-of-age dramedy marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Lauren Meyering. This first premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival last summer, and it's opening in limited theaters starting in July this summer. After her mother's illness returns, 22-year-old Margarita, a young woman with autism, discovers the world of hobbyhorsing and sets out to prove her independence to her mother—stick horse and all. Hobbyhorsing is the gymnastic "sport" of riding a stick horse around. Similar movement sequences to those also featured in show jumping or dressage are partly simulated in courses, without real horses being used. It was actually popularized in Selma Vilhunen's 2017 doc film Hobbyhorse Revolution (Keppihevosten vallankumous). Horsegirls stars Lillian Carrier as Margarita, with Gretchen Mol as her mom Sandy, plus Jerrod Haynes, Tony Hale, Matthew Schwab, and Iqbal Theba. This looks amusing and wholesome – a good story about finding joy and holding onto it. // Continue Reading ›
