I started cpony.com, and its predecesssor, for the same reasons: firstly, to share my enthusiasm for ponyplay via the articles, photos, videos, and stories (I've found that I thoroughly enjoy writing stories).

Secondly, but far more importantly, I started cpony.com to let other people and ponies know that they are not alone, that pony play is not weird (ok, maybe it's a little weird, but it's weird in all the right ways :), that ponyplay is fun, genuine, and that nobody should ever feel ashamed or alone for being interested in it, engaging in it, and certainly not for enjoying the f**k out of it.

When I first started my website, the internet was not nearly as ubiquitious as it is today. There was some spam and the occasional pop up (or pop under - I hated those) ad that ate your very limited bandwidth.

Niche websites, backlit by the fiery glow of their creators' passion for the subject matter, sprung up, and it was a satisfying adventure to wade through pages of links while circumnavigating web rings to find them.

Yet informative sites on other topics, like pony play, were, while not non-existent, decidedly uncommon.

There was a dearth of resources on fetishes, moreso on sub-fetishes (if you will :), aside from a handful of low resolution photos of ponygirls (no shade there - I immensely enjoyed those pics) one might find at the end of a train of links, there really wasn't much out there publicly.

However, I suspected that there were others, many others, out there, like me, who enjoyed the idea of being tacked up, trained, and treated like a horse. There had to be.

So, as an industrious, kinky young man, who happened to have a decent amount of bio-horse experience (though with absolutely no experience in web development, indeed, I was laughably inexperienced at the time, but I also had a(n) stubborn independent streak - that too is a moderately long, moderately funny story for a different day), I decided I would start a website exclusively about pony play.

I would create a website where I would frankly and unabashedly talk about my exploration of pony play.

I would talk about how I do pony play (adapting my bio-horse experience to the human pony), but I would stress that there is no wrong way to do pony play because, well, there isn't any wrong way to do pony play.

And, most importantly, in creating a public site, and sharing my personal story, my innermost kink with the world, I would dispel the myth that pony play is something to be ashaned of, something isolating, something to be pushed down and hidden away. For to do so would be to deny the existence of an integral part of myself, and I believed knew I wasn't the only one for whom pony play held such a cherished spot within.

Instead, I believed - and still do believe - that ponyplay should be embraced as part of who I, who We (human ponies and our handlers, owners, trainers, and admirers) are. We are not alone.

I knew then what I know, and see, today: We are a large, beautiful herd, and I am honored to be a part of it.

Happy Ponying, and I hope I get the pleasure of meeting all of you wonderful Owners, Handlers, Grooms, Trainers, and, of course, Ponies.

Thanks to each and every one of you for being your awesome selves and enjoying Pony Play!
