LOS ANGELES—Sanctuary LAX is hosting EQUUS, an event designed for pony players and those who love them. The event takes place Aug. 7-9 and welcomes equestrian fetishists for games, shopping, parties, and the North American Pony/Trainer Contest.
"We have an amazing herd of 25 pony people at this event. This is more ponies than I have ever known being at one event," said subMissAnn, organizer for the event. "Participants are competing for ribbons in pony and trainer games, the Pony Spirit Award, and Pony Master Award. There is also a leather title contest, the next North American Pony/Trainer will be decided. They have brought auction baskets to bid for Saturday night. These funds go directly to the winner and is for their travel fund. There are amazing deals in those baskets."
Pony play fetish—where people dress as horses in leather tack ranging from simple to elaborate—has been a growing segment of the BDSM and leather scene for years. Events like EQUUS allow equestrians to stretch their fantasies by running courses, playing in the corral, and competing for ribbons and awards.
Pony play isn't just about human horses. Pony lovers and trainers get to have fun too. Not only do the trainers get to run their ponies through the courses, but there are games and competitions for the trainers as well, such as the Western Reining game.
Attendees can also learn more about leather care, rope harnesses, and training techniques.
