What a (Title) Year it has Been
EQUUS IPPE 2019 One year ago, Handler Jenn and I were awarded the NAP/T 2020 title, at EQUUS 2020. It was an exciting time, and after the excitement of the competition, we were able to start our title year strong! The experiences early in the year were formative for us, from teaching Pony Play at …
An Experiment in Educating from Home
As our community largely finds itself (quite rightly) staying at home, and events are (quite responsibly) being pushed back or cancelled altogether, many kink and leather educators are turning to teaching online classes or leading online discussions. This is great! Educators, as a rule, tend to enjoy educating, and we all need to find our …
Ponies being Ponies
Sometimes, you just have to make the best of a bad situation. Earlier last week I found myself re-evaluating my travel plans to Las Vegas, like so many other people. At first it seemed that the weekend was going to be a wash, but ponies never say die! Within two days, the pony herd had …

A summary of our fundraising effort for the NAPT travel fund, our upcoming trip to San Francisco for Folsom, and a Pony Play interview I did with peer educator Evie Lupine.
Creating a local Pony & Pet Group
There isn't a local social group for ponies. How hard is it to help create one? - Me, 5 years ago. Many other pony players out there, today. Ponies are social creatures. Unfortunately, compared to other pet play communities (puppies immediately spring to mind), it feels like there just aren’t that many social groups for …
Thoughts about Trying New Things
I have not, historically, been what you would call a “jumper”. And yet I somehow managed to earn a blue ribbon in hunter-jumper at Equus IPPE 2019. This was unexpected. My Equus IPPE 2019 experience included a number of firsts. It was my first Equus IPPE I performed my first Pony erformance. I participated in …
