That’s right, we’re talking about pony play.
What is ponyplay?
Ponyplay is a type of role play within the pet play family, in which the bottom assumes the role of an equid. The bottom may be referred to as a ponygirl or ponyboy. During pony play, the Trainer/Owner is typically the Top or Dominant.
Pony play will typically come down to two General Types:
Forced: This is where the bottom is consensually forced to take the role and still considers themselves human.
Equine Role Play: This is where the bottom fully embraces the role and while in play has no human persona.
Many times the pony will be given and adopt a different name used during play.
You absolutely do not need any equipment to take part and enjoy pony play. But if you want to add in equipment, there is a lot you can use to enhance the experience.
Pony Tack
Like any equine work, you will need Tack. You will need items such as, but definitely not limited to:
– Saddles
– Bits
– Crops
– Hoof Boot and Mits
– Body Suits
– Bridals Reins
– Brushes
– Hobbles
– Plumes
– Blinders
And much more to properly set up and care for your pony. Again while not necessary, it can bring a whole new level to the play. However, it can get costly. Take your time and make sure you enjoy this type of play before going all in.
Some Types of Ponies
– Work Ponies- Strong ponies that can handle heavy loads of work.
– Pleasure Ponies- Some ponies are strictly maintained for the pleasure their Owners.
– Show Ponies- Ponies training for shows, events and dressage.
– Cart Ponies- Used to pull carts either alone or part of a cart team.
– Riding Ponies- Carries their Owners and others.
– Breeding Ponies- Engages in sex with other ponies. (It is not necessarily for actual breeding purposes.)
Pony Training
Pony training is the staple of the play. It can also be extremely involved. Pony training is one of the most involved of any pet play and any play for that matter. Much of the training takes its traditions from actual horse training and can be very in depth. For that reason ,this is just a few samples of what might be included in pony training:
– Basic training may include things such as leading, tying and grooming.
– Intermediate training will look at much of the tack. Using reins, bits and crops for example.
– Gating is training that usually refers to training the pony on walking, trotting, galloping, cantering and longeing.
– More advanced training may include things such as driving, leg yielding and some will even mix in Veterinarian play.
No matter what level you’re at with your pony play, if you enjoy it, it is sure to create a strong bond between Owner/pony.
This is just a basic overview and definitely not a complete guide to Pony Play. Do your homework and learn as much as possible if this is something you enjoy or are interested in.
