eather Retreat has grown to be one of the best "small" events in the country. It's held the second weekend after Memorial day at a camp ground in PA. Cabins that hold from 4 to 20 people, a dining hall, plenty of colas, snacks, beer, food, & fun. Inside and outside bdsm play and the all time favorite "PONY CAMP" with a Sunday afternoon horse show. This year, 19 entrants plus several presenters were on hand (not counting me). Below are some photos from Monday, June 11 the last day of camp. Leather Vixen and I had met in January when she declined a ride for fear of the height. It's always a wonderful feeling when someone comes and asks to ride and I was honored to be her first human horse. Once she was situated on me, her control was obvious.. I was her horse. This was also being filmed by the crew from NYC who are working on a documentary on pony play evolving around me, Piper pony, and yet another horse. After the riding from Lady Vixen, Tam (the camera person) rode me to take some "point of view" shots. After she had done this, she wanted to just ride for fun.. she was not hesitant to take me to a trot and back down to the water for some more riding in the creek (it is very hard to trot in water!)

I was fortunate to have 2 great riders to end Leather Retreat 2001! I do hope I will spend more time as their horse in the future! Special thanks to the photographers! (please note: these images were taken on slide film and scanned on new film scanner - the look a little fuzzy to me but I wanted to get them up ASAP. I'm going to have prints made and rescan on my print scanner)
