Pony play
Pony play or pony training is a type of BDSM play in which the bottom assumes the role of a horse, and the top the role of a trainer, rider, cart rider or caretaker. It is a form of human animal roleplay that is often preceded by doggie training. Some practicioners appear at public events. There is also a vast international social network of pony play organizations and private clubs.
Pony play is sometimes referred to as "The Aristotelian Perversion," in reference to a legend that the Greek philosopher Aristotle had a penchant for being ridden like a horse.
Basic training and equipment[edit]
In pony play, the bottom (who is then often referred to as a ponygirl or ponyboy, respectively) is usually put into a special harness and will not speak; he or she may also wear other horse-like attributes such as a bit gag, bridle, saddle and/or a tail (the tail can either be attached to the harness or inserted into the anus when mounted on a butt plug as in the illustration below).
The master/mistress will treat him or her like a horse and initiate various equestrian-related training exercises. Essential elements include adapting to the overall discipline, deportment, and learning to obey commands or signals, often with the help of a riding crop or a whip.
Ponies of both genders are often taught to prance like high-stepping show horses (as seen in the cover illustration for Le Dressage de la Maid-Esclave below). A ponyboy is usually trained to carry his mistress around on his shoulders in piggy-back fashion. There are also a variety of two-wheeled carts specially designed to be used for human pony play.
Types of ponies[edit]
The "pony" is often two-legged: the emphasis is on the treatment of the pony, what the pony does and the mind space it is in, rather than making the person physically look like a horse. People involved in pony play generally divide themselves to three groups, although some will participate in two or perhaps all three:
- Cart ponies: ponies who pull a sulky with their owner.
- Riding ponies: ponies who are ridden, either on all fours or on two legs, with the "rider" on the shoulders of the "pony" (also known as shoulder riding). Note that a human back is generally not strong enough to take the weight of another adult without risk of injury, so four-legged "riding" is generally symbolic, with the "rider" taking most of their weight on their own legs.
- Show ponies: ponies who show off their dressage skills and often wear elaborate harnessess, plumes and so on.
Pony play can come with many typical BDSM elements (power exchange, obedience training, harnesses, gags, etc.) but can also be considered a fetish costume or erotic fantasy of its own. Ponygirls occasionally appear in non-BDSM pornographic literature marketed to men.
