verywhere I go doing workshops and teaching classes, I get asked a variety of questions, as well as questions via email.  There seems to be a mind set that pony play has to do with having sex with animals.  This is NOT pony play!  So, I've put a little FAQ list to help you understand what Pony Play is.  First keep in mind that Pony Play is done by consenting individuals who want to have fun, who want to PLAY.  Some enjoy skydiving, some enjoy water or snow skiing, some horseback riding, and some pony play or human pony riding.  For this FAQ the term "pony" is in reference to a human who is role playing like or as a pony (or the animal).  The term "bio horse" is used to describe a biological born horse (equine).

What is Pony Play?  It is different for each player but the basics is where one takes on the role of a pony (or sometimes a mule, donkey, etc..).  Sometimes it is just the one person, like playing dress up, dreaming of the peacefulness of fields.  Other times there may be more participants.

Do I have to be Kinky? No, although a lot of my riders have been or are into the various forms of kink and/or a bdsm lifestyle, I have had a lot more riders that aren't.  These may or may not want to be mentioned or seen on the internet.  Other riders are Professional Dominants and/or lifestyle Female Dominants and some are more submissive in the lifestyle, etc... They all just enjoy the Pony Play idea and the adventure of something new and different.  99% of the ladies who have ridden me LOVED it and I think a high percentage would own a human equine 24/7 if logistics were right.

Who does Pony Play? Almost EVERYONE at one time or another has done some form of pony play in our lives.  Mostly as kids when we would ride our parents on their backs or shoulders around the house, or in the park.  Or with the neighborhood kids, playing Cowboys and Indians and sometimes one is playing as the horse, etc... For some reason, some adults think as we become adults, we can't have some of the same fun or do things we did when we were kids.

Where Does Pony Play Take Place?  I've seen a lot of pony play on sitcoms and television shows.  Most recently, the ABC show "According to Jim" which aired February 4, 2003 (Season 2: Episode 15).  I've seen it in vacuum cleaner advertisements, in magazines, in movies (and I'm not talking about adult or X-rated movies but main stream movies such as Smokey and the Bandit, Seabiscuit, etc...).  Pony Play is all around.

Is Pony Play for Everyone? Probably not, just like broccoli or auto racing or running a marathon... not everyone will enjoy or want to do Pony Play, but there are a lot of those that do.  It's all for "kicks and grins" as they say.... it's Challenging and fun.

Is Sex A Part of Pony Play? For me, no; It is a power exchange, a challenge, endurance test, etc... (like weight lifting or marathon running).  So is sex a part of Pony Play? Not Usually, however; this is a question that is determined by the consenting individuals who are participating.  There are couples I know that enjoy pony play with each other as a form of foreplay or to enhance their sex life.  There are others, such as myself, that enjoy Pony Play more as an adventure or sport.  Similar to a marathon runner that works hard, pushes himself, for the race.  There is a wonderful feeling of satisfaction upon completing the race (even if in last place).  Some may understand that, most will not but that is the best I can explain it.
