Hoosier's hobby gallops into the mainstream

A young Hoosier is gaining national attention for a unique and unusual hobby you may not have heard of. But if your kids are on YouTube, chances are, they've seen the trend of "hobby horsing." Yes, this is a thing, and it's growing in popularity. In Carmel's Saddlebrook subdivision, not far from Homestretch Drive, 12-year-old Ava Apodaca is part of the new breed of competitors.

It's all comes down to opinion," Ava said. "I think it's a sport, but some people think it's a hobby because they don't do it competitively.
