Well... it's horse-something, anyways. Might be fun for little kids.

Do you get coconut halves to clap together?

I was skeptical at first. The woman in the film introduced herself as Meri Satama, which literally means Sea Harbour. An unplausible, quite an industrial name for such a pretty and perky woman. On the other hand, some people do have parents who were cruel or just "witty" when naming their child.

Also the sport itself seemed too ridiculous to be true, but a visit to their website revealed this has been going on for years and they have dozens of newspaper articles to prove it. I am astounded, they don't seem at all embarrassed to prance around pretending to be horses, grown women.

On the other hand, if you want to have a group that prances around and pretends to be horses, you'll have to take into account prancing around pretending to be horses is now a licenced sport and you'll have to buy a licence from Ms Satama. It's 300 euros. So I understand why she at least is not embarrassed.
