Kinds of Ponies

There are probably three main kind of ponies: Cart, Riding and Show ponies.

Cart ponies are trained to pull carts or chariots, like the ones in the Perils of Gwendolyne video.

Riding ponies are ponies that can actually be ridden. Usually there are more men as riding ponies than there are women, simply because some women can't handle the weight.

Show ponies are ponies that are based on their appearance, their form and style.

There are also subcategories of ponies, like rubber ponies, humiliation or "pleasure" ponies (used for sexual gratification), and "sissy" ponies (men dressed up as women). In the John Willie Bizarre series, there's even mention of "banner" ponies (ponies with some kind of advertising draped across them)

Are there male & female ponies?

Most definitely. Even though this FAQ is admittedly biased toward pony girls, what little evidence there is available seems to indicate there are just as many (if not more) pony boys as there are pony girls. Which probably is a good thing, except there may be many more men eager to train and ride pony girls than women eager to ride pony boys!

Are there safe words used?
Yes, but since a pony isn't allowed to talk, there has to be some non-verbal action used to indicate a safe word. Since the pony usually has a bit in his/her mouth, traditional safe words can't be used. Sometimes you can tell when a pony has had enough. If your pony is shaking for example, that's a good indication they are tired and you should stop play.

As with any other form of play, aftercare is VERY important. This can be softly caressing, stroking or holding your pony or generally whatever kind of aftercare you do with any form of BDSM play.
