I'd really like to mirror @chipthepony.bsky.social's post yesterday- finally opening up to pony play after so many years has been the post free and comfortable I've ever felt in myself- I had to leave Hoof it! early, but that led to me telling some close friends exactly what I'd been doing!

Hi folks! We're pleased to announce that Hoof It Camping is returning as a standalone ponyplay event in 2027! 25th-28th June 2027 in North Dorset We've secured a venue with a good field, yurts available to hire and indoor facilities too! Stay tuned for further details!

So, I feel compelled to write a bit of a disclaimer regarding my photos- I'm a person who likes to show off in a lot of gear. That's a sort of 'show pony' aspect of me. But what you see in my ponyplay photos is not what you have to *have* in order to do ponyplay. /

Since I've had less craft time, the ratio of #ponybuttmonday to crafts posts is shifting a bit One more from Pony camp, I've been experimenting with new materials so it's shiny now! Thanks to @raev.gay for wielding the camera! #ponyplay

I may have missed taking photos of some of the intervening steps here, I was hurrying to make my harness wearable for an event Step 1: stitch shoulder straps on Step 2: everything else If anyone's I terested, I can ramble details upon request XD

Follow up to my previous post, the belt part of a pont harness can be knocked up quite quickly if you use an actual girth for the front aection- you could even use it on its own simply belt adding two belts! I have cut two new straps, along with a basic back plate and a tail mount for now!

I'm having a busy year and my craft time has been... minimal, for most of it Right now though, enjoy my current hyperfocus as Tuesday when I acquired some cheap 2nd hand girths No time to make a harness from scratch? Bodge and recycle! P.S. -Will take advice on horse smell removal-

Hey y'all! Well goodness gracious, that heatwave I quipped about in my first post has not let up, huh? Anyway, just a just-under two week reminder about our next social on the 30th, link to tickets in the quoted post!

Is the summer heatwave not sweltering enough for you? Why not compound it by dressing in heavy pony tack and getting longed for hours to really get a sweat going? If you answered 'yes', you might have fun at our next ponyplay social on August 30th! Info on ticket pages at hoof-it-events.square.site

I spotted I've clocked 100 followers here a few days ago! Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest, given advice, and made friend's along the way! Finally opening up to pony play has been freeing in a way I never knew it would be! Here's a few pictures of my pony progress

While have been a little slow on the posts lately, but there are more crafty things in the works as soon as I finish filling the mannequin I've made!

I made it down south to the Hoof It! social a couple of weeks ago and had a great time as always, so many kind ponies and handlers to meet every time I visit! I get to show off my new mane now too 🐴 Special thanks to @tazonhusky.bsky.social for the excellent photos!

Just under a week to go! We're excited to hear the clip-clop of pony hooves and a cacophony of whinnies at our venue once more!

Hoof It! Events@hoofitevents.bsky.social

Hi ponies and pony accessories! Our next Hoof It! Ponyplay social is scheduled and tickets are available. We're now also offering Sponsor tickets for those who'd like to give a little extra to help the event! You can get tickets and see the event rules at hoof-it-events.square.site

I've not had a lot of time to do pony and crafts things lately, but I had to get out out of jealously after seeing lots of ponies in the snow lately!

Eee yay my Zebra is named 'Carousel' and inspired by them top to bottom! Still a work in progress!

Forced to stand properly on the tips of my hooves, it certainly got a lot more difficult to stay above the horse once @jessdegey.bsky.social was clipped up too

It’s a difficult thing being strapped on such a device. The pressure on the right spots to get you going, the desperation firing up from days or weeks without release, the humility of being in such a state in front of a stallion, 1/2

I have just landed after Pony Camp Denmark, my first event abroad! @raymond.fee.sh and co. built fantastic space and community of ponies and handlers and I hope they know how well they've done! I was a little nervous, but was able to try so much and meet fantastic ponies I hope to see again soon!

After other events I've felt elated, perhaps even a little high, and free. After this one I feel all those things as well as the most myself I've ever been (and I thought I was generally pretty good at being and knowing myself) I look forward to many more events like it

After a weekend away I had a five hour drive in the passenger seat to think about patterns for my mask, and I decided to keep my pink nose and add a split blaze- I stole the shape from a horse I saw among the New Forest herds! This was a nice way to wind down, tomorrow I can put the finish back on!

Final stages of my hooves- though I may tweak the position of the stitching on the soles so I can give them.a neater trim! Tongues and sleeves stitched on, ringlets added, and temporarily string laces until I go and but some actual ones. And I split my cutting board. Hooves feel good though!

That's the last of the external hardware on my hood, just need to trim the tongue and buy some actual laces! Oh, and fit a headband inside for padding and cut ports for an Internal bit if I decide it's worth it

Attempting to make the tongue for my hood tonight, it's a bit wide due to earlier miscalculations, which has led to a very screbbley bit of leather... This will happen when you're using your head in place of any sort of jig It's a method.

I can’t wait for this episode with @ponytromper.bsky.social The wisdom imparted is just so refreshing and comforting, it needs to be heard by more than just the ponies. This episode is for everyone. #ponyplay #podcast

A little test fitting of the main part of the hood tonight- my awls ae hamme based, so I can't punch all the holes right now. Got the line marked up for tomorrow instead! Still needs the back piece designing, and of course the fittings... fitting

Finally got back to adding the hood to my mask, having been using it with temporary straps! I'm trying a two piece design; the unpolished shape in the picture, plus a tongue to link the back (haven't started that yet) I'll decide on a way to attach the mane to the tongue, and add support straps
