Last weekend was Reno Revelry (formerly Impact!), a wonderful BDSM education contest that hosted the first annual Nevada Bootblack Title Contest. We were happy to see petplay classes and a petplay space.
Even more excitingly, Pepper found something interesting on the ride there… Dogtown! (Click for full size.)
It just goes to show that there are ponies and puppies everywhere. You just have to travel off the beaten path sometimes!
Earlier this month we had our Fall Fox Hunt at Heaton Flat campground, in the Los Angeles National Forest. The fox won! Our spring fox hunt often takes place in Middle Lion campground, in the Los Padres National Forest. (Although, two years ago, we went to Malibu’s Sycamore Creek campground.)
What pony, puppy, fox, or other critter doesn’t love to explore the great, wide world? Our playdates are usually outside and we invite you to join us! Remember, we always host munches before our Hunts, and we are happy to offer carpools to those who need them. This year’s fox hunt is over, and the fox is safe for now… but the hounds will have a chance to redeem themselves in the spring!
Another TV spot featuring members of our club is out on the internet! We have gotten very mixed reviews from people, ranging from positive to negative, and we invite you to watch and form your own opinion.

All of the videos we do are cleared with all members before we film them, and we select for production companies who are willing to work with us in a respectful manner. The general public does not understand human-animal roleplay, and that is why some of us choose to put ourselves out there. Education has always been part of the mission of the LAPCC!
Last week’s Fox Hunt was a roaring success… our fox got away (and also snuck into camp and ate a pumpkin muffin while the hound was still on the trail).
The Fall Fox Hunt is one of the last BIG events of the year, but never fear, there are plenty more intimate meetings throughout the year! We have three more playdates: October 20th, November 17th, and December 8th. Our annual Christmas party is TBD, so please come to the October or November playdate to discuss! Every year, we have a gift exchange and it’s always a wonderful time.
Need more events? Remember, Barking Billiards is every Tuesday at the Eagle Bar in Long Beach, and on October 30th, they are having a special Howl-o-ween event! Some of our pups will be there, so don’t miss out!
Who attended Folsom this weekend? Folsom Street Fair has been around since 1984 and is the world’s largest leather event! We have always had ponies there; the Critter / Creature Cavalcade and Pony Parade are a part of this amazing weekend. Here’s an example of the Cavalcade from 2013. Our very own subMissAnn was there last weekend giving pony cart rides… and as always, got her mane done up in some pretty elaborate braids!
Mark your calendars now for next year; Folsom is always the last weekend of September!
The Fox Hunt is Saturday, October 6th.
Have you heard of it? Are you curious? Surely, this year, you’d like to participate?

Yes, that is us! And you can join us! Come have fun – we always do. 🙂
The first step is to come to this Fox Hunt Social. If we don’t know you or you have NEVER been to any of our Fox Hunts, you must attend the social.
It is also nice for ALL the people planning on participating in the Fox Hunt to attend the social, as this way we have a better idea how many Foxes, how many Pups, how many Ponies we have, even if you have gone before. The Experts answer the questions of the novice players. We need you there!
We are meeting October 3rd at 7 PM at El Bravo Rio, located at 5853 W Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232. There will be a tan horse on the table so that you can spot us!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since EQUUS. Time flies when you’re having fun!
Since we know that sometimes dates can creep up on us, we are already working on EQUUS 2019.
The Equus IPPE 2019 Event Schedule outline is up. It includes Draft Horse Games! Click here to see what awaits you in next year’s EQUUS program.
Can’t wait ’til then? Remember, our biannual fox hunt is this fall. We will be chasing down human foxes on October 6th at Heaton Flats campground. More info here!
Remember whenever you were rough housing as a kid, and your mom would ask you if you were “raised in a barn?”
Well, now you can say YES!
AR Design Studio in the United Kingdom is one of many companies who are working on converting old stable and coach houses into modern living spaces for humans. Of course, if you’re a human pony, living in a barn is a dream come true. These converted stables are a perfect combination of modern and rustic design, and we love them!
There are a million ways pony play (and pet play as a whole) can be integrated into other types of scenes. Some people like pony play to fulfill fantasies of humiliation and degradation, while others like to be pampered and groomed. Some human ponies enjoy the bondage-like aspect of being fitted with reins, hooves, and other tack, while some human ponies enjoy the freedom that comes with being able to run across a wide, open pasture.
Whatever it is that interests you about pony play, the LAPCC is here to help! We have playdates every month and 4-6 BIG events every year, such as Derby Day or Puppypalooza. Coming up soon is our fall fox hunt, and we’re already looking for ponies, hounds, and foxes to participate! Check out our calendar to see what we’re up to!
This weekend is the fourth celebration of Dog Pound, a puppy mosh held at the Bullet Bar in North Hollywood. SoCal has a vibrant community with lots of ponies and puppies; the LAPCC loves to cross-promote and work with other communities to ensure that human ponies, puppies, kitties, and other critters can have as many opportunities as possible to explore animal roleplay!
Dog Pound includes a puppy mosh (no gear required!) with lots of toys and treats. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of LA’s leather and rubber pups, including current LA Pup title holder, Rush. Everyone 21+ is welcome to join, and there will be members of the Los Angeles Mutt Pack as well as the Los Angeles Pony and Critter Club. Woof!
