Take the strain; feel the pain.

Although I'm a shoulder rider, I'm interested to know what it feels like for a 'pony' to have someone sat astride their shoulders while giving the person a ride? What I'm particularly interested in is knowing what is the most difficult aspects of carrying another person on your shoulders and when you, as a pony, take the strain, at what point do you start to feel the pain?

As a pony, do you get out of breath first? Or do your shoulders start to ache first? Maybe it's your legs which start to ache first? Or does your neck (which acts as part of the saddle for the rider) start to get painful after a certain time? Maybe different ponies feel the pain differently when they take the strain? On this last point, when someone mounts your shoulders and you start to give them a ride, this is when you also start to take the strain. But when you've been carrying a person who is sat astride your shoulders for quite a while, do you mind when you start to feel the pain?

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

for me, I feel discomfort first at the base of my neck and lower half of my neck, usually after about 5 min

it can be sooner if the woman on my shoulders is wearing stiff jeans with metal snaps, or if she is keeping her legs in front and not locking her feet behind my back - both of these situations put more pressure on the neck

rarely I will feel a "pins and needles" sensation in one of my arms - it has happened a handful of times, also after about 5 min

in both these situations I know it's time to come down and take a break for a few minutes

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

In my first experience of having someone ride on my shoulders, I felt the pain in the back of my neck the following day. It was absolutely sore, and I've experienced discomfort throughout the day. I remember we were playing  chicken fight and my rider weighs the same as much as I do. Fast forward today, I squat a lot when I workout. My body then gradually adapted  - thus being able to bear heavier weight.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Hi...its a very nice topic..

Indeed what I love as a pony is my riders weight, and the feel that I am a pony, and my duty is to carry the rider.
The most beautiful moment for me is when my rider mount me on my shoulders, when her weight and thighs feels on my body.

Initially the rides are very good for first few minutes.  Then my Neck starts paining due to the weight part, but still I go for giving rides.

Its ironical, that what i love the most, being a pony, carrying the weight, and going miles doing so in my fantasies, in real my neck starts paining, and the pleasure starts going away, and I start looking for my comfort back.

But till now all the riders whom i have carried, has been on my requests or have been paid to do so. So they also dismount. and I have the habit of being in comfort after a few minutes.
Which i feel is wrong thing to do for a pony.

I would say that shoulder riding becomes mind game, after some time, where you have to only feel and think of the comfort of your rider, not your pain, if one can shift the focus, with practice, long rides can happen.

but for that i think , a rider should also be equally int in riding the pony, as much as pony does, and should be able to control him fully.

Wish i can get such a Female Rider, who can train me as her personal pony..which is my all time fantasy,,,,,though i dont know , how will i react to my pain in that case. as i am having a bad habit of running for my comfy zone..


Thanks..

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

As a pony, with shoulder carrying, my experience has been similar to the guys above. Parts of the 'saddle' - the neck, and sometimes shoulders - will start to ache after several minutes carrying someone larger and heavier than myself.
I fight not to give in to that - I don't mind, but eventually between that and occasionally wobbly legs as time goes on, reach a limit and need a short break.

The first strain feels good rather than bad even though it isn't "easy".

A little dominant or sensual behaviour goes a long way to distract from ache or tired muscles and to "make" me continue. A rider with enthusiasm wins over a sack of potatoes every time.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Thanks Wild fire - the only Ponygirl i believe on Earth.

Well I must appreciate that you are seriously into pony play, and like it.

Though as a pony, while giving rides on all 4s, and shoulders, what I feel is - Is this what I love..its so painful.

But as the rider dismounts, I again want them to mount me, and ride.

I always have fantasized the rides with a really heavy rider , but in reality, I have enjoyed light weight riders much more.

Hope that Wildfire girl, you can come to India once, and we can explore some riding.

I want to see what a pony feels like while i am on top, which i have never experienced.

Thanks.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

These replies are very interesting and helpful for riders. As a rider myself, I believe that the person who is giving you the shoulder ride should be treated with consideration (i.e. don't ride the pony too hard or for too long) and respect (i.e. you're riding another human being, not a beast of burden.)

The first comment by Jeff highlights one common problem with shoulder riding and that is it is technically better (from a safety point of view, i.e. to prevent the rider falling off) to ride astride a pony's shoulders with your crotch pressed up to the back of the pony's neck. Sitting back on a pony's shoulders, particularly sitting too far back, may cause the rider to inadvertently fall off backwards. Apart from the safety aspect, some riders enjoy riding their pony with their crotch pressed close up to the back of the pony's neck. Some of these same riders ride, as Jeff said, with their legs out straight or with their legs dangling down either side of the pony rather than with their feet tucked in behind the pony's ribs. I have to confess that I enjoy riding this way but only for short periods so as not to put too great a strain on the pony's neck. As a rider, I'm never sure how much strain - and hence pain - my pony can take. So I have to balance my desire for pleasure with my pony's need for comfort. I guess that if I was shoulder riding a slave, maybe in a foreign country or I was some kind of invader who had a suitably strong prisoner of war at my disposal, I'd get the person to be my pony and ride that person mercilessly purely (and selfishly) for my own gratifying pleasure regardless of the strain or pain that person felt. Indeed, the greater the strain and pain felt by the pony, the greater my pleasure. But in the real world, of course, one has to moderate one's instincts!

Since becoming a member of this Community, I have gained the impression from reading the posts that some (probably quite a few) ponies enjoy feeling the weight of a rider on their shoulders and, once that happens, feel that they are then under the control of the rider and must do what the rider wants (i.e. how far to walk and where to walk and for how long to walk.) Some ponies, when they are under the control of the rider and they themselves as ponies lack any control, can become aroused and excited by being in that situation and subjected to the will and whim of the person riding them. Obviously, where shoulder riding takes place, it's the pony rather than the rider who has the hardest job because the pony has to carry the rider's weight and sometimes suffers by being ridden too hard or for too long - hence they take the strain and feel the pain. But, amazingly, as this Community shows, there are plenty of willing ponies waiting and willing to be shoulder rode!

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Hi Checkmateguy...

I think, the persons who are willing to become ponies, like the weight of rider, like to be under control, like to be dominated, and somewhere deep inside they want to get rid of their originality even, that's why they are willing to be in the position of a pony, which is at its riders disposal.

This is what i like, and I believe many of ponies would feel the same.

Though as Human ponies, we have the liberty to chose our riders, but after that I think the game should be in the hands of riders.

A Rider should ride his pony to the full extent, to get his or her pleasure, and should not be worried of pony, as the pony has itself chosen his rider, and his rights stops their only.

That is the ideal situation, which I like and want to be into.

Thanks.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

A very interesting series of replies.As a pony,I always like to give my rider as long a ride as possible,but,weighing only 63 kg,only one of the riders I have met on the Forum has been lighter than myself.I ALWAYS feel that it is my duty to serve my rider's needs,but to answer the original point,it is my SHOULDERS that actually feel the strain first.Feet and ankles are quite strong.But i dont know whether other ponies have the same problem,but I have several blood vessels which are very close to the skin surface,and so,even if I have only given one ride,when I take my shirt off,I find that there are a number of red streaks where my rider,s legs have been rubbing against me.Funnily enough,this isnt uncomfortable,it goes away eventually.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

I can't speak as pony, but I keenly observe my pony after every ride to see how tired he is. As rider I have sat astride my mount in mainly two ways: 1. pushing his head forward so that I have a more comfortable seat on his neck - in some instances he was practically supporting me on his neck, and 2. sitting back further away from the neck and resting on his shoulders. In method 1 my horse is usually looking at the floor (not directly down but about 3-4 feet in front of him), and in method 2 he is generally looking straight ahead. Method 1 is obviously more comfortable for me since I am resting on my butt, whereas method 2 is less so since my weight is on my thighs.
When I employed 1, I noticed my horsing tiring almost immediately, and fidgeting to get me off. He starts to perspire at once and sweat is dripping off his face. On the last occasion I saw him rotating his head and rubbing his neck and shoulders a little. 2. was better usually, and sometimes looked effortless.
I agree with Checkmateguy in thinking that most people will (instinctively or otherwise) sit closer to the neck than away from it. So it's very likely that the neck will be strained first. Also, very few us work on strengthening our necks even if we are avid exercisers, and this no doubt also contributes to the problem.
In case people were interested in strengthening their necks, they can do various exercises, and use a head harness (http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/exerciseImage … le/l/29_2.jpg (New Window)) to add extra resistance. The head harness is a very popular piece of equipment amongst boxers.
Personally I enjoy being as comfortable as possible, which means (like Checkmateguy) resting on my behind as close to and on the neck as possible. I don't prefer locking my legs behind my horse's back since I would have to actively engage those muscles (why do any work when you don't have to!). To all the pony girls and boys out there I suggest adding neck strengthening exercises to your workout routines!

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Krisbean raises an interesting point about neck strain and the possibility of strengthening the neck muscles. A few years ago there was an avid young Taiwanese shoulder rider called god524057. One of his memorable videos (now banned by Youtube) showed him purposely or inadvertently strengthening the neck of his fellow student who was his regular pony-guy. He did this by getting his pony to kneel down on all fours (hand and knees). god524057 then started the video by showing him riding astride his pony's back. Nothing unusual there, I hear you say. Quite correct. But as the video progressed, god524057 changed position and, instead of sitting astride his pony's back, he sat much higher astride the back of the pony's neck. As god524057 sat there like that, he got the pony to raise and lower his head - this meant that his full weight was being supported by his pony's neck. The last few minutes of the video showed god524057 with his feet off the ground and 'riding' the back of his pony's neck as the pony knelt there on all fours bravely supporting god524057's weight on the back of his neck. Incidentally, god524057 was wearing black shorts in this video and the front of his shorts showed something projecting upwards and outwards...!

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

personally I prefer my rider to sit astride my neck as far forward as possible forcing my head down, there crotch almost on the back of my head,in this position  its always my ribs that start to hurt first.
Standing upright with a riders weight on my shoulders my legs are the first to feel the strain.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

... the now banned Youtube video of god524057 riding astride his pony's back and neck is called 'Back Ride.' I have a copy, of course, but I don't think it can be shared directly but only through video sharing websites like Youtube or Daily Motion and similar ones. Unfortunately, I no longer have an account with Youtube because of the difficulty accessing my videos after Google bought Youtube. And I have not been able to find another suitable video uploading website as good as the original Youtube.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Thanks to KrisBean for the neck strengthening exercise idea. It could be good for all us ponies.

There was another neck strengthening exercise mentioned by Checkmateguy involving a 'training partner'. smile For those who have one.

Has anyone else tried all fours shoulder/neck riding?

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

I have tried giving it many times, but it never last too long..

first - the rider is not able to sit properly, and second - i get so much pressure on my neck, that i quit, and i am not able to move.

But i like, when some female sit on my head and neck, when i am lying on my back....I have stayed in this position for quite long time, and did many times.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

i'm not a carrier, i like  only wow or me riding on woman.

My only riding experience occurred when i was 14 years old and  i was a very thin guy. At a school event, 1 girl more tall than me(my schoolmate, 15 years old) offered a ride on her shoulders for fun. when i get off after 3 minutes she complain a little about her neck sore, but i think it was my fault, because i'm not a very expert rider.

anyway after ten minutes she picked up another girl, so i dont think it was a serious injury big_smile


So, you feel the pain AFTER the ride or while your rider ride you?

when i was on her shoulders, she dont want drop me. If i dont request her to put me down  (make love to shyness) she could hoisted me for more long. As far as i was on the floor her neck begun to hurt.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

I  should first  explain  that  I  am  exclusively a rider  and  most of  my  ponies  are  submissive  men  so  my views on the subject is decidedly  slanted.   
I  believe  the  woman or  man who is riding  on  another person's shoulders  should  be in  charge  and  the strain on  the  person  he/she is sitting on  should  be  secondary  to the  desires  and  comfort of  the person being  carried.

I  find that long rides on  someone's shoulders  can become uncomfortable after  a  period of time  if my  weight  is on  my  thighs and  my  bottom  isn't  supported. This  can be especially  true if  the shoulders  I'm  sitting on are  thinner than  average. 

A  male  friend  of  mine  who enjoys riding  on  shoulders   demonstrated how this  discomfort  can  be alleviated  by  pushing  the ponies head  down ,resulting in his  back  arching forward so you  can actually  sit with  more of your  bottom resting partially on  his  back.  He  demonstrated this on  a submissive  who was  smaller and  lighter  than  he was  and  while   his  carrier complained  briefly about the added  strain ,  he  managed to continue to  carry my  friend  nearly as well  as he  did in the more  upright  position.
Naturally I  followed my  friend's example  since  I  was  lighter than he was  and  my  carrier was bigger and stronger than  his skinny  submissive.

We  rested our  respective  ponies after about  a  half hour  ,  as  much  to stretch our legs as to  give  our  carriers a  rest   and while his  submissive  was  sweating  and  rubbing  his  neck  quite a  bit, his  complaints were  rather  quiet after  a threat  from  his  master.

I have  of  course  been  willingly  carried  by men  who volunteered for the task  but  I   maintain  that  the person  who is riding should always  be in  charge,  the  rider's  comfort being the  higher  priority and  the  duration of the ride determined  by the rider  within  reasonable  limits.

Carriers,  whether  volunteers with  their own  agenda,  or  submissives  put to  the task  will often  slack off ,  wanting  more frequent and longer  rest  periods ,  wasting  the  rider's  time  and  interrupting  your enjoyment.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

I really enjoyed your comments Audreyb. I am a submissive pony that loves having his limits pushed by the rider.

Although I'm a shoulder rider, I'm interested to know what it feels like for a 'pony' to have someone sat astride their shoulders while giving the person a ride? What I'm particularly interested in is knowing what is the most difficult aspects of carrying another person on your shoulders and when you, as a pony, take the strain, at what point do you start to feel the pain?

As a pony, do you get out of breath first? Or do your shoulders start to ache first? Maybe it's your legs which start to ache first? Or does your neck (which acts as part of the saddle for the rider) start to get painful after a certain time? Maybe different ponies feel the pain differently when they take the strain? On this last point, when someone mounts your shoulders and you start to give them a ride, this is when you also start to take the strain. But when you've been carrying a person who is sat astride your shoulders for quite a while, do you mind when you start to feel the pain?

personally I prefer a rider that has no or little  consideration for me as a pony and are only interested in there own pleasure no matter where it hurts.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Riding shoulders isn't  a  major  part of  my  life   but rather something  I do when I'm  with a  certain  segment of  my social  group or when I  have a  reason  to do  so. One of  my  male  friends  rides  his  submissives  far  more  regularly than I do  and he  is far  more  demanding  of them.

When I  talked about  pushing  the  limits  of the  person  I'm  riding,  I  didn't  mean it  to  imply  that  I'm  merciless . I  just mean  that I  expect  the  best effort my  carrier  can  provide  and his  strain  and even  discomfort is  part of his service  to  me.  Even if  he is just a  volunteer ,serving me  completely out of his  own  choice or  desire,  he is  my  beast of  burden  at  the  time  and I feel  that  I'm in  charge.   If  I  felt otherwise  I might  feel  that  I'm  not  worthy  of  his efforts.

The  positioning of  the  rider  and  his/her carrier   implies a superior vs  inferior  scenario.
In  short,  the  rider is sitting on  the  carrier  and  obviously  should be  in  charge. The stain of the carrier should  always be  secondary  to  the riders  comfort,  enjoyment  and  purpose.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

I agree. It can be a gift and a homage form a boy to a girl; the carrier is showing his strength and dedication and the rider can push the carrier's performance.

Audreyb is it hard for You to find a good carrier?

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

In  answer to Misiulo.

No,  I don't have any problem  finding  a carrier. I'm  not  very  heavy (133 lbs)  and  I  know  quite a few  submissive  men  who  will  carry  me willingly,  or  will  do  so  because they are submissive  or  masochistic. Their  desires  in  this matter is not a  matter of  significance  to  me/  I  have  had as  much  fun with  a  mostly unwilling carrier as I  have with  one who  was  enthusiastic about the task.

One of  my most amusing experiences was many years ago, as a young  teenager ,  involving a  chicken-fight  at the  beach.  I  had  just  broken  up  with a  boyfriend  and since  the  other kids paired off with the  people they were involved with, I  found myself  pair  with  a skinny dweeb of a  boy  that  I found  unappealing .  None the less  I made  him  my carrier with  some taunts and threats  from  my  friends  helping to  make him  consent . He  was a little taller  than  I  was  but  probably didn't weigh  as  much. His shoulders were so  narrow  and round  that I  had  some difficulty  just sitting on him  and he staggered  while carrying me .  Needless to  say  I didn't  win the  chicken fight  but  did  manage  to stay  in  a  bit  longer than a few of the  girls.  My  skinny  carrier was  unable to  move and simply stood  for a  short time ,stooped over, partially supporting himself  in the semi-upright position with his hands on his  thighs. This  gave  me at least a stable seat  and I  managed to  unseat  two  of the  girls before the  dweeb  beneath  me  fell. Fortunately  I  landed  more on top of him  rather than in the sand  and he  was spitting sand out.  every one laughed  at  him  and   while I  was  angry at  him  for  failing (I  simply hate  losing) I  laughed too.

My  ex  husband  carried me on  walks and  hikes quite often when  we were  dating. He  was  very strong  and it wasn't  any  great effort  for him,  but  there was never any  doubt that I  was in  charge.
He  didn't  particularly   like carrying  me,  but he  did  like showing  his  strength  which made  me  feel that I had to  be  more dominant in the  matter.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

MY QUESTION IS:

DO YOU PONNIES FEEL EXCITED WHILE CARRYING YOUR RIDER?

For a long period I have been thinking about....what make us so addicted to watching these pictures, videos and why is it so exciting for us?

I wasnt sure if watching someone being carried on shoulders is what is so exciting for us or carrying someone ..

I came into conclusion , that in many cases just watching any movie,or clip or picture is so exciting for us. Carry someone on shoulders- it is different story! Those of us who ever carried any adult woman or man know what I am talking about- I am talking about PAIN in our neck and HUGE EFFORT we have to make to carry our rider. The question is: do you feell excited at this time? I realised..I dont..I feel pain in my neck after about two minutes carrying girl who weights about 60 kg and I weight 75 kg..after 3 minutes I have to dismount her because of the pain in my neck- I need 5 minutes rest and than I can continue. She is sitting on my neck mostly,,I realised that I have no chance to move her to sit on my shoulders, she immediately sits mostly on my neck tucking her legs behind- what is great for me as a pony because I dont need to keep balance.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? ARE YOU EXCITED WHILE CARRYING SOMEONE? OR LATER ..WHEN YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT.-)

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Gyulasziposz Your question is obviously for Audreyb.

I can answer about what is so exciting about Shoulder riding however! It's a special activity, which requires some above average qualities of body and mind to do it right. A dominant Female who needs and who knows how to be in control, a male who is strong, and dedicated, it's not such easy thing. Look how many people here are say things like that don't happen in real life! Many women are chickening out because being up there riding on shoulders of someone bigger stronger then You can be scary. Many boys fantasize about being ridden like that, but they don't have the balls to volunteer to carry a demanding Lady. both roles take control, responsibility and strength.

Personally I'm getting a little tired writing about it, I'm yearning more and more to be DOING IT.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

When I was a teenager (years ago!) another teen guy gave me a great shoulder ride and several more over the next few weeks. I asked him whether he was okay about giving me rides on his shoulders because he was smaller and younger than me. He said he was and added that as soon as I got on his shoulders he felt really s*e*x*s*u*a*l*l*y aroused. So there is your answer although some carriers/ponies may feel excited in different ways.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Hi bro..

I am also facing the same issues,....I get tired after just say 2 min of shoulder rides or all 4s rides, then break some water, and again I start.

When I am alone, I keep imagining how will i give rides and all those stuff, and when in real it happens, rides are of very short duration plus pain , tiredness and all those things.

Conclusion to which I have come is  - First that I have to limit seeing the videos and pics of riding stuff, as Imagination is always different from reality, so If I am too much into imagination, i will never enjoy reality...So, I will limit this.

Second, I have to exercise more, I am now over 30 yrs, and I am not able to give rides, like I used to give in 25-26 yrs of age, plus I am now over weight, which is weakening my horse capabilities.

Thirdly, Its a mind game, you only have to push yourself,,,I don't think there is any Girl Rider, who will dominate you and push you, even Professional Dommes are kind in real, and all those things are in stories, videos, all fiction.

I think, some of these issues, you might also be facing, do reply back.

Be Fit...to be a Fit Horse.

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

I think it is really mostly "mental": if you concentrate mainly in how you feel as a ridee while carrying somone it can lead to some kind of wimpiness, that is not really helpful:)
instead i have good experiences in encouraging the pony by focussing on the positive side, like being strong, doing good excercise, giving joy and pleasure, being a Hero etc
if it really hurts a lot, it might be that you have not found a good riding position and should rather work in that and not give in too early smile

Re: Take the strain; feel the pain.

Pain and strain - within reasonable limits - make me feel extremely proud.

If it was easy to offer my rider a satisfactory performance, my effort would not be as worthwhile for her.

The neck is always first to start aching. But I do not hesitate to bend my head, so my shoulders can be used as a comfortable saddle. That's the whole point: my rider is comfortable and in charge, while I give up control and offer myself as her beast of burden...

Can the pain reach a point where I have no fun anymore? Yes. Should I stop at that point? No, unless I come to believe that I am about to get seriously injured. Most riders are sensitive enough to push you hard, but not all the way to that point... which allows the carrier to trust her completely, creating the magic that every true shoulder riding fan cherishes...
