Male Riding Gear

Just to show I'm fair and not totally female oriented in my shopping, you guys can also pick up a few rather nice equestrian outfits for yourselves.

Mako Magellan offers a wonderfully detailed complete set, including I believe a hunting horn. Sadly, not having a need nor the male shapes, I haven't purchased this item.

Included are a traditional English red riding jacket, jodhpurs, boots and the detail is suitable to convince any pony you are the boss.

Weighing in at just under L$1200 for the whole set, though I understand the items are also available as separates for those on a budget.

Alternatively, E Watkins offers riding outfits for men also, and at a bargain price. Textures on the clothing are well put together and certainly create the look.

Riding jackets are L$300, jodhpurs are L$75. The riding boots are L$500 and look great on.

If the perfect English gentleman look is not your style, perhaps looking at some of the western based sims and stores can offer up a wonderful cowboy or ranch style.

There are so many to choose from that it's hard to single just one out, and, requires some more shop hopping to research :)

There is also the cavalry outfit featured a few weeks ago in men's sizes for a little more variety.

If i can find a rich, male volunteer, I will cover these in more detail. Sadly, this is something that isn't in my inventory, nor do I feel it would be prudent to get some.

Whichever look or style you guys go for, there is no reason us girls should get to have all the dress up fun, and jeans and a t-shirt just doesn't do it if you are serious.

So go on, get yourself some special riding gear to train your ponies in. Tell them Jaydana sent you. It wont get a discount, but it might get me a freebie.

Chaps

Hope you all had a great holiday period, and it's not been too bad returning to normal once it's all over.

This week's post is about trainer outfits - and more particularly, chaps.

The old Wild West is a popular environment, and features the equine theme rather prominently.

So why not a few cowboy or cowgirl trainers or owners of ponygirls?

One of my favorite sets of chaps are the leather chaps set from E Watkins. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Haddath/167/32/37

Wonderfully textured, available with two sets of "underpants" in jeans or jodphurs effect.

Some chaps are barely more than a all in one set of garters and stockings, great for sex, but, not so good for working a ranch.

The E Watkins chaps look great, and when worn with the jeans under pants layer, a pair of cowboy boots and a nice checked shirt - all that's missing is a lasso and 10 gallon hat.

And your pony. And maybe some rustlers to round up :)

The best thing about these chaps is, they look great for wearing off the ranch too and are reasonably priced at L$300 a set.

Available in black, blue, red or brown leather these are an essential addition to any ranch owner's wardrobe.

Or, if you are like me and love leather - well they work on that level too.

And if you are looking for a good ranch style sim for your ponygirls or boys - go visit Island of Questionable Virtues - a wonderful sim that's been around forever.

Equestrian Items

I know I have mentioned this before, but I think it warrants another mention now. Many useful items for use with or around ponygirls already exist in the equine world.

Items such as riding crops exist in the D/s realms. These things do not have to be exclusive to the ponyplay scenes.

Which brings me to my point for this week. The pony has spent a lot of money on tack. So the trainer should make an effort too.

A few themes and styles for a trainer now present themselves for classical equine trainer roles.

A western style of dress perhaps? Traditional English riding outfit? Prim and proper Victorian attire perhaps? Throughout history, horses were a popular transport method.

So why can't you include this with pony play? I do.

Let me talk this week about a popular wild western take on this - as i love this addition to my inventory - Cavalry officer.

E Watkins store offers a complete cavalry officer uniform, and if i am honest, I think it looks great, with a number of ways to wear it.

The outfit comes with several shirts, including short (with rolled up sleeves) or long sleeve and see-through variety, plus a buttoned up jacket. Perfect for the Dominant look.

The E Watkins store also offers different cap versions with attached hair, should you prefer that style, as an optional extra.

The basic cavalry uniform is a complete outfit (just supply your own boots and hair) for L$800.

It should be an item every uniform-oriented pony trainer can't be without.

It just remains now for me to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!
