Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6407) or the full path ("Toys & Games > Toys > Riding Toys > Hobby Horses"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Toys & Games > Toys > Riding Toys > Hobby Horses |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 6407, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Hobby Horses

Is anything more specific than Hobby Horses available?
No. Hobby Horses is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 6407 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Hobby Horses sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Riding Toys (2799). The chain from the top is Toys & Games → Toys → Riding Toys → Hobby Horses. If your product does not belong under Riding Toys, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Hobby Horses is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Riding Toys first — there are 4 other categories at this level: Electric Riding Vehicles (2753), Push & Pedal Riding Vehicles (2724), Rocking & Spring Riding Toys (3441), Wagons (6379). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Riding Toys (2799) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Hobby Horses compared with the categories next to it?
