Here Comes Camp

It's May and time for Camp! This pony will be there in all his finery and champing at the bit. As in the lat two years, I plan to fly - this time from two hooks (I need a challenge and that qualifies). Last year it was four, the year before it was 6.

The past year brought a whole lot of change - some of it not so welcome but probably very necessary. My stable mate Stormy and I are no longer owned and yours truly has done more pony handling in the past year than anything else. It's all in a good cause, though. If we want a healthy pony community, some of us have to do the job of training the younguns.

I got my first real taste of that at the winter Flea in Providence. It fell to me to organize and run the pony paddock this year. I threw myself into it with all I had and things went pretty well. It didn't hurt that I had Stormy and two other wonderful ponyboys along to help. I still prefer to be the pony, but in the interest of keeping pony play alive and well, I will do what it takes.

It's my hope that I'll get to pony up at camp. But who knows? Stormy and I will be presenting the Pony Play 101 class this year.

This could get interesting!
