LOS ANGELES—Jesse Pony is a woman of few words, but plenty of action. A petite powder keg, she plays shy when she wants to, then explodes in extreme gonzo scenes for studios like Evil Angel and Kink.com, among several others.
Like Ginuwine lyric goes, “If you’re horny, let’s do it. Ride it, my pony. My saddle’s waiting, come and jump on it.” An experienced feature dancer, Pony must have heard that track hundreds of times, in clubs all over the country where she’s headlined. If you go to her Instagram page @onetriickpony, you can watch her skillfully pole dance at a gentlemen’s club like Cheerleaders in Pittsburgh or a kinky venue like Bar Sinister in DTLA. Her latest stripper-themed virtual reality scene for VR Bangers is titled “Exotic Night With Jesse Pony.”
“I’ve been working in adult entertainment for a while,” Pony, who is represented by OC Modeling, told AVN. “Before being in porn, I was an exotic dancer. Then during Covid, I had started doing some OnlyFans stuff, and—because the clubs were all closed down—I decided to take that more seriously, which led me to the professional porn industry.”
Lean, petite, flexible and strong, she does easy splits in white vinyl thigh-high platforms that look like stilts on her, on a mainstage littered with cash.
Then, Pony also lets her body do the talking in scenes like the clip she’s currently nominated for at the 2026 AVN Awards—Best Anal Sex Scene in Elegant Angel’s Oil Explosion 8 (with veteran swordsman Vince Karter). “I am into hardcore sex off-screen. So, for me, hardcore is just what I am actually into, and comes naturally for me when shooting,” she said.
But if you’re trying to collab with her, she prefers to keep it professional—and has said so very directly.
In a 2023 post on X/Twitter, Pony said, “If porn is just ur ‘hobby’ pls never hit me up for content or even paid work. I only wanna work with people who eat, shit, sleep and breath Fucking porn. This is a passion and a lifestyle for me. I only wanna be around people who feel the same/think the same/dream the same.”
Today, she still takes work very seriously, even when she’s really enjoying herself. “I very much feel the same. Porn is something that I am very passionate about and, for me, it’s important to work with people who feel the same way. I have worked with people who don’t or are very casual about adult work, and it’s just not the same as working with people who truly care and want to make the best content possible.
“I love that the adult industry is a safe space sexually, and that you’re not shamed for being promiscuous or sexually expressive,” she added. “Instead, it’s celebrated, respected, valued and allows for exploration and creativity."
In the new year, Pony hopes to do more of her own projects and is looking forward to the AVN Expo in January, which will be capped off by the Saturday night awards presentation.
In Vegas, the star will be “meeting with as many fans and friends as possible! I’m signing with a few people and am nominated for Best Anal! So, I’ll be running around a bunch. I love AVN because it’s like a big reunion where you get to see everyone and all the exciting things that are going on in the industry.”
In 2026, she’s also hoping to expand her brand with more self-produced content, maybe under her own label. “I am exploring launching my own platform, where I get to produce and direct my own ideas!”
Though she enjoys being in a lot of different roles and positions, of course, Pony said being a producer suits her. The talent and experience she gained on professional sets has polished her skills as a content creator for social media platforms.
“I like both of them for different reasons,” she said. “Both are great. When doing studio work, I love how professional everything is and the community of people involved. A lot of these people have become friends and it’s lots of fun to work together, creatively, to accomplish the vision of the director.
“With doing content for my own platform; a lot of those are collabs, but I do produce my own content where I get to play director and really produce my own vision or the collaborative vision of who I’m working with. I love this because I get to be creative and explore different things with different people—and that’s really fulfilling.”
Not just a “one trick pony” anymore, she’s a thoroughbred and off to the races. For more, find Pony’s social media links here.
