This isn't your standard intro class, rather a deep dive into pony play, covering roles, power dynamics, handling, training, headspace, sex, finding other ponies, herds, resources and more. Great for the curious, those just starting out or the seasoned pro, this class is perfect for ponies, handlers and pony fans just looking for how to interact with ponies!
Whether you’re brand new to pony play or just refining your reins, Pony Handler 101 is your crash course in command, care, and consensual control.
Before I start trotting around with my Pony for practice or an event, there are a series of activities I do. As I look around the Los Angeles Pony and Critter Club before Pony Play, we all do these activities with our Ponies, and I will be sharing with you today. These are the stretches, warm ups, and getting our bodies ready for this sport play we do. Safety first. And after play, there is after care, even if I only have 5 minutes, it makes a difference. Dress in your yoga, easy to move exercise stuff, or naked. Place your matt and get ready to move your body.
There is no need to be put out to pasture or retire from horsing around just because you aren't able to do pony play the way you see everyone else doing it! Do you use a walker or wheelchair, have trouble seeing or hearing, have trouble processing information, or just haven't been able to find your stride to adapt pony play to who you are... then this is the class for you! This class will be an interactive discussion about how to adapt pony play to fit individual needs and how adaptations can liberate you to enjoy pony play at a whole new level.
Interested in pony play but not being a workhorse? Love the grace and beauty of showponies but unsure about all the fancy footwork? As with many types of pet play, pony play relies on cultivating a headspace that is affirming to the player. This class aims to explore the intersection of ponies and dolls - what different “types” of pony doll play may look like, options for solo and partnered scenarios, and a shared discussion of why this intersection in particular is appealing. Join us for new ideas, collective joy, and being the prettiest ponies!
Welcome to Vet Play 101, where we trade hospital gowns for halters and stethoscopes for hoof picks. This class explores the deliciously deviant world of veterinary roleplay—perfect for ponies, puppies, and handlers who enjoy medical play.
We'll cover scene structure, safety basics, and creative ways to incorporate restraint, inspection, temperature-taking, and other hands-on procedures into your play. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and leave inspired (or slightly unnerved—in a good way).
Each of us comes into our pony-hood in our own unique way, some finding the parts of their pony-being easily right from the start, and some creating their pony selves over time. Likewise, some of us found the perfect tack right away and some of us have progressed in our tack as we've discovered the various aspects of our pony play expression. Trainer Liza and her horse Ferdinand's human alter ego, Jody, will lead us in a Show and Tell of pony-ness and tack. Bring your pony-parts (heads, hoods, hooves, tails, hair) and pony tack (bridles, harnesses, and so forth) as well as your stories of where you got each item, and we'll swap stories and sources from bargain basement to extravagant. Jody will lead us off with a quick PowerPoint about hoof-making for human feet on a flat shoe form. Can't wait to see your stuff!
So a horse walks into a bar, and everybody freezes. Ponyplayers like biohorses can be intimidating to some, seeing them outside of just some really cool fetlife picture can sometimes make even the usually most confident top/handler/trainer shake in their boots. Now let's add on some layers to make approaching ponyplay even more intimidating, like lack of equestrian background and in some cases also lack of (petplay community) handler/trainer background. Then what? Well join Princess as it provides you with affirmation to remain authentically yourself, alongside a simple rundown on what you can do when a Horse walks into a bar.
Who’s a pretty pony? Are you a pretty pony? In Mane Event, we will learn bootblack basics and pony maintenance. Pony and handler bonding via energy play that will be sure to cool your pony down after a long day of carting, agility courses, hitting the trails, chowing down on apples, or after a full day of licking salt licks. The techniques you will learn in this workshop will take your pony from drab to fab. Hope to see you there!
Ever wondered what really goes on in the breeding barn after dark? Saddle up for this tongue-in-cheek, tail-raising class where we trot into the fantasy-rich world of pony play breeding kinks. Whether you’re a prancing show pony ready to be bred, a no-nonsense handler with a clipboard and a stopwatch, or a stud looking to show off their, ahem, pedigree—this class will guide you through creating consensual, erotic scenes filled with whinnies, harnesses, and hoof-stomping desire.
As a community within a community, it can be difficult for lone pet-and-pony players to find a local herd, pack, or group. This leaves only one alternative for the self-motivated pet; start your own local group! While this can seem a daunting task, it is easier than you may think, and with a little persistence you will find yourself at the heart of a thriving local community. In this class, Tromper and Lark share their experience as with the Rocky Mountain Pony Herd, and provide advice for pets in search of their community!
Join Lady Leah, the Mistress Asherah and Domina of the Den of Venus Studio, for an introductory class on leatherworking geared towards the design process of those crafting kink and BDSM play items and fetish gear. We will touch on the sacredness of working with and caring for leather from both a spiritual and kink viewpoint; review beginner tools, supplies, and stitches you'll need to get started and some sources for affordable starter supplies; and then dive into Leah's personal design process for creating a kink piece or BDSM gear item with a focus on Pony Play leathercrafts.
