For women, it is this feeling of power and control that makes equestrian training so appealing. The woman who trains her man as her pony during a play session, may find it easier to train him in more practical matters in her everyday life. The purpose of the harness绑带 — straps that hold a toy on the body, bit, spurs and whip on a real horse is to break the mighty beast mentally through physical domination so that the powerful animal will eventually become docile and submit to its master without the need for the instruments of discipline and control. Once the animal is broken, it will be at peace being under the control of its owner.

The same law applies here with a male pony. While Pony Play is primarily D&S fun and games (thus the word “play”), the psychological application is that the male is broken through humiliation羞辱 — shame given on purpose, bondage捆绑 — being tied or restrained and discipline so that the male becomes obedient to his female master and owner. The woman is doing the riding and the training and she is elevated as the conqueror and the male is reduced to her property.
