So, back to the ponygirl thing.
One thing I’ve realized about this fetish is that it can mean very different things to different people. There seems to be three basic varieties of it, and while there may be plenty of overlap and commonalities across them (bit gags, ponytail buttplugs), they seem like things that may appeal to very different sets of people.
One variety is the “saddle her up” version. If you go to the clips4sale store called “Ponygirl Videos” what do you find? A bunch of videos of girls on all-fours with guys putting saddles on them and riding them around a living room. I’m pretty sure that’s all they have. I guess some people are into that, and that’s perfectly fine. I find the idea quite unsexy myself, so my ponygirl fantasies are not about that.
Another variation emphasizes what Tree mentioned - dehumanization by figuratively transforming a slave girl into a pony (or horse). This is much more psychologically interesting, of course, though it’s not what does it for me either. In extreme forms the slave is forced to wear, and work in, a very realistic looking horse-head mask, along with boots and hand mits resembling horse hooves (not for me at all). In a less extreme (but very common) form the slave is forced to wear a bit gag and a pony tail. Another common thing is to have the slave perform the work of a pony – such as pulling a cart. In my mind, there’s plenty of fun to be had here. I actually love the idea of being bound to a cart, my mouth gagged and my arms restrained behind me, and being made to pull my Master or Mistress around town in it. But frankly, this whole human-into-equine aspect isn’t what draws me to ponygirl fantasy either.
The third version is where the equine aspects recede into the background somewhat, and other things receive more emphasis. A huge one, of course, is public humiliation. Here is where I start to feel at home, and this is what got me interested in ponygirl fantasy again 8 years ago. But now I realize there is another huge aspect I never really saw. It has to do with one of the words in the title of this very thread. That word “elegance.”
I now see the huge emphasis that is placed not only on putting a naked female forward for public display, but making her look elegant and dazzling (in a ponygirl kind of way) as well. It’s generally not enough to take a naked girl and tie her to a ponycart and have her pull you into town. No, you must
decorate her as well. Attach a big colorful feather to her head that sticks up high. Put her into a strappy harness (perhaps a red one!) and be sure to pull and tie it tight so as to highlight her figure and make her breasts seem to pop out. And speaking of those breasts, we MUST attach some cute clamps to those nipples! How about some that dangle and jingle as she walks…wouldn’t that be dazzling? Furthermore, we want her to be in high heels, since we all know that heels make lovely legs even lovelier, and an enticing ass even more enticing.
Of course, the highly stylized marching is very much part of the elegance as well.
It is this emphasis on mixing public humiliation with elegance and sexualized glamour that I missed before. But it’s a theme that is seen over and over again in ponygirl fantasy art and photos. The attached drawing by John Willie is a great example. Don’t these ponygirls look positively glamorous? I’ve seen it in much of the poetry sitting over at Sir Jeff’s site as well.
This sweet mix of public humiliation and glamour is what I find so intoxicating about the ponygirl fantasy.
So sure, make me your ponygirl. Being paraded naked through the streets will be utterly humiliating, no doubt. I’ll likely be in tears the first time it happens. But I know I will be utterly ravishing as well. People will stop what they’re doing and admire me. I will melt their hearts. I will cause cocks to go hard and pussies to go wet. And for this, I will be proud.
