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!

It was very good, the atmosphere was great and there was plenty to do even with the weather pushing us indoors a bit

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 13h

I think I spotted it when I did a search for pony play under the events tab, rather than via one of my groups
It is also relatively close geographically for me!

Side note, I really need to proof read when I type lying down apparently

Photographers credit goes to the excellent bsky.app/profile/raev... now that I've got the link! I'll be sure to actually leave space in the caption for it next time

I shouldn't really after I've spent so much this month, but I am tempted if you're still open?

You too! Hope your journey home was good!

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 3d

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

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!

I enjoyed this a little too much

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 11d

Yes! I've been figuring it out over the last couple of months, just need to get the finish on over the next couple of nights and sort out a proper mane now, the it's done and I can start thinking about a harness

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 11d

Thanks! It's my first go with the acrylic dyes, so I am guessing a little but I think it went well!

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 12d

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!

(Also love the composition, the contrasts, the entire vibe!)

The flame is pretty good. I miss the flame

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 14d

I was all the way down to Old Windsor that time in fairness, but I was still a bit surprised

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 14d

It was the painted mini roundabouts when I went down south the other week that got me

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 21d

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

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 24d

I will in fact, be a firm second!

I will not, in fact, give transphobia a fair hearing. Gtfo.

I shall try to be more diligent with that than I've been with my leather mitts!

Wanders @wanders3.bsky.social · 25d

I was 'well trained' and 'patient' yesterday simply because I couldn't see well enough to run off in a ground tie

I need defogger

I've been intending to make some wooden hooves and maybe hoofboots, so this going straight on the watch list!
