"Ask a Pony" Q&A video footage now available on YouTube
13 years ago
The first Q&A session session was a blast. Thank you to everyone who showed up to ask questions or just to keep us company. We had more than 30 attendees. Sheesh... I never expected such a crowd
The questions were pretty good and my pony collegues offered a very open insight into how they experience pony play.
There will be a next session, planned for the end of January.
The session is available on YouTube. And to offer you an easy access I marked every question as a chapter:
JohnnyPuppy: What got you into pony play?
DovieCaba: Where did you actually end up meeting people of similar interests? Fetlife? or other places?
_Phantom_: How did the Fury stallions come together; and how did you meet each other?
DovieCaba: Ok, what exactly is a munch? It sounds intimidating...
Caius: For you is becoming a pony an act that is put on for fun, or an expression of what you truly want to be?
Caius: I'd also like to know how comfortable you are in your gear. Do you find there are some flaws?
Stalleques: Have you ever considered using synthetic hair for tails or will it always be real hair for preference?
Bigwig: You talk a lot of the horses - what about the handlers - is their play comparable deep? (would you continue play if you enjoy it less than your handler?). Is there horse play without handlers?
Horsy boy: Do you like equine fursuits? What is similar with ponyplay? Trapa: How much do you define and relate to Furries? Do you feel pony play falls similar to furries?
Thorphax: How comfortable are the hoof boots?
Sprocket: That would be my question too, how comfortable are your hoof boots?
Stalleques: How often do you let your pony side out? - do work commitments keep gettting in the way :P
_Phantom_: You mentioned you have / own horses. Do you find it is easier to be a pony when your handler who works with real (bio) horses?
Horsy boy: Can you see clearly through the eyes of the mask?
JohnnyPuppy: How fast do u get into pony headspace? is it quick as in once the mask is on your in the head space or is it slow as in when your putting on your gear u slowly get into the pony headspace?
_Phantom_: In the video where the Fury stallions are pulling the carriage the driver seems very experienced in the driving of carriage 'horses,' by looking at the masks it seems the bit is not in the human's mouth. so are you responding to rein cues and voice commands?
Fortuna: What do you do if you have to use the men's room while wearing this stuff?
DovieCaba: Racoon, what is your favorite part of pony play. What is your passion in it?
Stalleques: How hard was it pulling the carriage?
Trapa: Any plans to do a 6 or more pony carriage?
_Phantom_: Is there a specific breed that you relate to?
Horsy boy: What do you like most of ponyplay?
dragonfly1001: Have you put in practice any horse whispering techniques? "principles of developing a rapport with horses, using communication techniques derived from observation of free-roaming horses, and rejecting abusive training methods."
_Phantom_: Outside of dressage, pulling a carriage, log pulling are there other forms of pony play you want to try?
JohnnyPuppy: This question is mostly for Nighty: are u ever uncomforatble when ur face shows instead of wearing your mask while doing pony play?
_Phantom_: Do you find the vanilla people you encounter as ponies are curious and want to know more or do they seem offended? Outside of ponyplay / bdsm events of course
jez: ...and what are you saing to this peoples when asked: "What are you doing? Theater stuff?"
DovieCaba: How do your families react?
Caius: How much weight does your handler’s word have in play and outside of play?
Abraxas: Norica, could you tell us about your pony vacations on a farm?
DovieCaba: Where do you sleep while on vaccation?
Bigwig: Probably a stereotype, anyway - ever dreamt of being a horse?
Horsy boy: You are a horse boy but ... Would you like to be a real horse?
Stalleques: Are you vocal ponies or more silent ponies during play?
_Phantom_: Some view pony play as submission -- do you view it as this or more of an expression / experience?
DovieCaba: How are you disciplined as a horse? Such as in training or when you act up?
JohnnyPuppy: Besides pony play, are their other forms of animal roleplay that you have tried or would like to try?
Fortuna: I didnt quite see from when you showed the masks before. Can you eat/drink at all while wearing those? Also, do you have a salt-lick?
Trapa: How well would other species be recieved at a pony play event? If i were to bring a meerkat, in pony gear to the event, would they feel that this is a outsider?
Horsy boy: When I'm wearing my fursuit they ask me to ride me or mount me. Does it happens to you too?
_Phantom_: Have you ever met Rebecca Wilcox or is there any other well known pony players you would like to meet?
Tsume: Have you ever thought about 4-legged ponyplay?
Fortuna: ...Aint it very heavy to carry people around? I've got this picutre in my head with a skinny little pony trying to heave this 200kg fella onto his back...
STT: Have you ever been with real horses?
Trapa: Do you have any suggestions on how to get away from being a wall-flower?
Abraxas: Closing the session

how do you order a product from fury-fantasy.com? do i just send an email and the money via paypal, or is there an order form i'm not seeing. is there any other reliable place where i can order a mask or other gear?
http://www.fury-fantasy.com/Fury-Fa.....-pricelist.htm
You place your order via Email. Fury's waiting list is long so you may have to wait for 6-9 months. But on the plus side: You pay the day the assembling process of the product is finished - not one day earlier. And during the process of building he'll send you photos of the progress. So you can make good use of your waiting time and save money to pay for your order. Once he receives the money, Fury sends your order out.
i'm probably going to place an order around next month if the waiting list is that long. :)
