note: This was posted on the pony play mailing list and is from that post in 1998. Hello all: Since there are some new people on the list since I posted I'll give a basic introduction here again. I am trigger, a 2 legged/shoulder riding (and cart) ponyboy/horse from the southeast USA. I've been involved/interested in this area of play since 1977. Over the years I have had many different ladies on my shoulders to "see how it feels" or "try it" but never many who really made me feel anywhere near being a horse. And none that have ever tested or pushed my endurance, but I keep searching (never give up <grin>).

aving become friends with Paul Reed (Equus Eroticus) has certainly opened up more doors for me (and for all of us pony people I think). It seems that finally pony play is catching on and with the help of mailing lists, email, web pages and the internet, as well as publications like "Equus Eroticus" and the "Riding Cult", it begins to be easier to meet other like minded people.

Paul had mentioned a trip to San Francisco to do a pony demo for a class at QSM (Quality SM). Being the pony slut that I am <grin>, I went along (pardon the pun) for the ride! As the date for departure got near we realized we needed a rider for me (as the ponygirls were coming up from Phoenix, AZ).

Entrance, Mistress Ice! I don't know how she found the mail list, but I sent her a note after her first introduction and I think mentioned Paul and the address in the exchange of email. Paul called and said, would you like to be Mistress Ice's while we are in California (he had to ask <Grin>).. As if turned out, she opened her home to not only me, but to Paul and our friends from AZ. She went out of her way to make us, er them <grin> comfortable. She even had fixed an area in the back yard for her horse to stay!

Mistress Ice and I chatted a few days before the trip and exchanged all types of thoughts on pony play and interests. I hadn't been this excited or nervous since I got my drivers license!

We arrived at her home about 10 minutes early, TY (roommate) let us in and we waited for her arrival. When she walked in, my heart stopped! She was beautiful (words can not describe it)!! Introductions were done, the off to eat.

When we returned, she put on her riding clothes, had me lace up her riding boots and put the spurs on her then she put me in horse role. One (of many) thing I admire about Mistress Ice is her creativity and realism. She had a harness on my face (made from a dog leash) in a matter of seconds, my riding harness and hands tied followed, then tied to my stall post as she went inside. There is was, her horse in her back yard, no way to escape.. I was hers.

I'm not sure how long it was before she returned but the leash harness was replaced with a bridle and bit and in a matter of minutes I had a Goddess sitting on my shoulders ready to ride. I've had many women on me in the past but the feeling of knowing that she is thinking of me and using me only as her horse made the sensation unbelievable.

She rode me around the yard and had me jump a few obstacles she had laid out. I don't recall her using a crop but do remember how wonderful her spurs felt, sometimes even when she wasn't kicking (which she didn't do much of) I could feel them on my sides. The ride didn't last near long enough but it did end. After the ride she walked me around the yard (cool down) stopping and picking some grass and feeding it to me (of course I ate it, my owner wanted me to). Then I was put back into the stall area and left. That feeling was one of satisfaction that I have never known (the first of many over this weekend). I had no sense of time but I know it had been a while when she came out and got me out of pony role (and she showed me a few non pony tricks - what kinda of wrap was that? <grin>)

Being the hostess that she is, Friday was a day to get ready for some guests she had invited over, sort of a pre-demo demo (a rehearsal). I was so impressed when Mistress Ice asked me to wear her collar and help set up the yard. I even got to do her laundry!! (I know, that's not pony play). She kept me with her constantly, for all the errands and all.. I sure felt special (a feeling like that doesn't happen for a single person very often).

After the day of working and errands, it was time to be her horse again. On came the leash harness, off went the clothes and naked in her yard I stood, tied to my stall post. Time for a bath!!

Some of the guests were arriving about the time I was getting my bath. I remember seeing boots and Kat (she turned on the water) while the bucket was being filled with soap and water (remember, I'm outside in the yard.. garden hose and all).. This was the first time as a horse (or any thing else) that I've had a Beautiful woman bath me, not to mention with a bucket and garden hose. Yes, I really did feel like she owned me and I was just her horse.

After she bathed me and rinsed me off (soap in eyes and all).. she lunged me around for a little to dry me off, then back into the stall area I went. Tied to the stall post I patiently stood while the guests arrived and sat down on the patio for dinner.

After dinner (yes, she did feed me) my tack was put on. Care was taken to ensure that I was tied (not that I would have wanted to get away) and kept under control. Being a male pony, my genitals were bound in a harness as well and although not painful, it was a distraction to have them buckled tight. The feel of her putting on my tack, the way she buckled the latches as tight as possible without any concern to the discomfort of me was exciting. Being able to see her expressions as she harnessed her horse up for riding is something else that is hard to explain. Maybe I was feeling a bonding between horse and owner (like a real pet and owner develops) but it sure was wonderful.

Mistress Ice went for the first ride, showing how she could make me jump the obstacles and even run me around the yard. I don't know how comfortable she was, or how she looked, but from my horse point of view.. she was wonderful, she felt like she was made to be on my shoulders.

After her short ride, Mistress Reba (a guest and helper for the demo) was to try her first ride on a ponyboy (I think it was her first). She had a slave with her that was also excellent in helping the ladies mount (remember, I'm on 2 feet 15 hands high). Mistress Reba mounted and settled in pretty quickly. A short ride around the yard a few times and she started feeling like she was getting more at ease.

Next was Mistress Miranda. She was probably the tallest of the ladies there (I'd guess 5'7"). She climbed on and in no time it felt like she had been riding a while also. During these rides, some of the ponygirls were getting ready for some fun. I couldn't see all that was going on, as Mistress Reba and Mistress Miranda kept me busy for a while. I'm not sure where Mistress Ice went but I think I did see her riding ponylynn (from AZ.. a 4 legged AND 2 legged ponygirl.. she is fantastic "I like ponylynn!)

Somewhere in all this fun, boots got put into a full bodied harness.. it wasn't long until the creative minds of the Mistress' had the horse harnessed to pull the "log" on the ground.. yes.. they had me pull him around the yard a few times.. calling me a work horse and talking to me as a horse! I love those creative minds (I was surprised one of them wasn't riding me to motivate me though <grin>)

I noticed a really good looking lady eating and had wondered about her riding, I later found out her name was Lady Red and she had plans for the evening so we just did a few photos of her on me and she left. The night ended too soon but all good things must come to an end.

I was a nice night, I should have slept good, wasn't too cold or anything, but I was so restless and high from all the attention and riding that I didn't rest well. I guess that is part of the life of a horse.

Saturday we all headed in for the demo at QSM. We arrived and Mistress Ice and Mistress Reba put me into my harness. As all were being put on, some of the buckles on the penis straps caught and I made a noise.. I remember 2 comments that made me feel really owned and used for their pleasure (1-he sure is whinny today 2)-he'll have to deal with it)! The feeling of being owned is unbelievable!!

The demo started, Paul had ponygirl annie (from AZ also) and Mistress Reba led me out. Paul started his talk then introduced ponylynn (Mistress Ice rode her out on 2 legs with her saddle and all, really an awesome site!) then Mistress Reba went and got ponygirl wendy (her first time as a ponygirl). There was a break then it was our time.

The second half started with a few words and intros from Mistress Reba. After she talked a bit, Mistress Ice came and rode me for all to see, then Mistress Reba offered others some rides. I had noticed a really nice looking lady dressed in riding pants and boots sitting in the back and wondered if she would ride. Mistress Reba had asked her on break if she would and she agreed (not knowing I was a 2 legged horse). Her name was Julia (I hope that is right) and she was the person who was responsible for inviting us to do the demo at QSM. She came up to the stage and with a little help mounted on my shoulders. She rode me a few times around the room and made comments of how good it felt (made me feel good!). Mistress Miranda was on the front row so she rode next, followed by Lady Red, and Mistress Reba.

Then the ponies were allowed to answer questions. After the demo, I had a few other people try the feel. Kat (Mistress Kat I have found out since) made a comment that she had a fear of being on someone's shoulders but was willing to try it.. she felt wonderful and must have a desire to ride as she did say she would ride me on my next visit (gonna hold you to it!! <grin>)!

As Mistress Reba was leading me off to take of the harness, ponylynn (who I'd talked to online about riding for many weeks) came up to me for a ride (yes, some ponies switch too!).. Finally I thought!.. she rode me a little then rode me up to her Master and trainer and said "can I keep him?".. what a feeling!

The demo ended and some of us were off to do a photo session with Eric Kroll (fetish photographer). I wanted a few photos done of me with some riders but really didn't expect to be in the photo session, was I wrong. it was a long day, I had my pony harness and tack on for over 11 hours. It was an experience I won't forget. It was also the last time I would see Mistress Ice, Mistress Reba and all the other wonderful people I met in SF (some I didn't even get to say goodbye to as I was being photographed so much).

Sunday we are in Felton, CA to shoot some video of the Madame and her 4 ponyboys pulling a chariot. We head off to the red woods and get to the location (the home of Lady Zen). Along with the 4 ponyboys are Master Robert and ponylynn, me, Tara, the Madame and Lady Zen (of course Paul is there to video the event).

While the carriage is being set up, Tara took me for a test ride. She had never been on a human horse and seemed to like it. She rode later while Lady Zen was in the carriage for background effect. Then Lady Zen put on the spurs and mounted. She didn't have any problems with taking control and rode me 3 different times, and even just sat on me while other things were going on (like a rider just sits on her horse). The last ride, she rode me at a run for over 15 minutes (timed that much) while using the crop and spurs (although the adjustments on the stirrups could have been made to make them hit better).

After all the fun was over, something was said about a Halloween parade in New Orleans and the 4 ponyboys and the carriage with Madame would be in the parade and wouldn't it be nice for Lady Zen to ride me in front or along side.. yes. I'm going to New Orleans for Halloween <grin>!

Of course the 3 day drive back was full of pony conversation on the visit and a very restless trip it was.. I'm still on my high!

in summary....

I met soooooo many wonderful people (I didn't want to leave.. was hoping to be tied and kept <grin>).. I think I've mentioned everyone in the posts, if I missed anyone I'm sure it's cause my mind is still in ponyland!..

I do want to add (and hope this isn't out of line)...

Mistress Ice won my heart and made our trip wonderful.. she is the most beautiful person (inside and out) that anyone could ever meet - going out of her way to make out trip and the demo wonderful. I hope a new found friendship was started.. who knows what lies in the future, I hope she's in it somewhere.

any regrets?.. very few.. 1) I didn't get to say good bye to a few people I met.. 2) I wasn't ridden long and hard enough <grin> 3) I don't live in the bay area!!! <wink>
