Mr S Leather presents one of the most unique pony play items ever created, Rubber Pony Fist Hooves. Transform any boy or girl’s hands into beautiful, rubber, pony hooves. The openings are snug for a secure fit, so you squeeze your fingers to get your hand in and then you can open it up inside the hoof. Some ponies walk on their knuckles, others with open hands.

The bottoms of these one-of-a-kind hooves are beautifully crafted, with accurate shaping of the hooves on top (in front and back), and horseshoe imprints on the bottom. The rubber is just right, being neither stiff nor flimsy. This is a great item for your stable.

On Sale, too!!

A letter from a “Furry” Reader

 I get a lot of compliments, praise and appreciative email regarding this silly blog.  The below had to be shared…. 

A while back, I went with “Bruiser” & a few others to my first Fur-Con (aka Furry Convention).   Here’s the Blog Entry (lots of photos and video) that I did with some photos.      “Sprocket D. Husky”, a reader of my blog, sent me a very sweet letter after reading the entry.   He gave me permission to share the letter and a few of his photos.   Many thanks to “Sprocket”.  I hope to meet him and others next year at Midwest FurFest 2011.  And maybe even get to try on a suit if I’m lucky.

Hello Ruff!

 You probably don’t know me, or of me for that matter, but I’ve been an avid follower of your blog for some time. I wanted to write you a short note with respect to your MFF post on your blog. I guess all I wanted to say was “Thank you” from my heart for coming out to visit with a open mind, and moreover an open heart. To many an outsider we’ve been branded by the media and others as “freaks”, “weirdos” and “sexual deviants” . MTV, CSI and Vanity Fair have done a fantastic job of making us look very bad. I was very impressed with your post as you nailed it right on. I wish others within kink had the level of maturity that you have shown. I’ve been involved in kink&bdsm communities since the 90’s but only furry since early 2000, and I’ve found more acceptance in furry. At one point I removed my Recon profile simply because folks there were harassing me online via my profile for being furry. Sad that. As as result, I’ve abandoned all my kink profiles save for Gear Fetish, which doesn’t get a lot of attention these days. Having seen your post, it gives me some hope that maybe there’ll be a better future, and I can enjoy both my interests in both realms.

 I’d pondered a few of your comments too, and I’ll offer my 2 cents if I may. Furry is a fandom that seems “fluid” and is hard to nail down to one exact thing. For many its art, others live performance, for those like myself fursuiting and entertaining. Yes in some ways we’re all misfits of sorts, but it’s truly the one time of the year where we all can be ourselves, me included. In the case of MFF, I load up a vehicle and drive 550 miles one way for that.

Fursuiting seems to have gotten a rep from some about being sexual. While a few of us do find some suits attractive that way,and there are folks how have suits just for sex, I generally think fursuits express our “inner beings”. When I’m in suit, I become ageless, and I can be way younger than my actual years. The barriers come down right away, and I can make a child or adult laugh, put a smile on someone’s face, and offer a hug to brighten someone’s day. Its a freedom or high that no drug can duplicate. I had a young child at Anthrocon 2 years ago , come up to me on Sunday night when she was going home with her folks(they attended as a family). She had been having fun being silly with me at the dealers room on Saturday, and spotted me in suit again Sunday evening. She ran up and hugged me, and tried to say good bye. We hugged for what seemed like forever, and as both her and her mom walked away, she waved goodbye and started to cry. That got inside me so bad I had to go straight to the headless lounge right away, get my head off, and bang, I fell apart right then and there. I cried for a while after too.  That’s why I suit. If I made that child’s day even for a little while, then it makes it all worthwhile.

My suits aren’t for sex play. I still have my leather dog gear for that. I just wanted to share a perspective that maybe you hadn’t pondered.I’m not that great with words, so I hope I haven’t rambled too much. I’ll say thank you again, and If I do have the chance you’ll be getting a big husky hug some day. Here’s a link to me. Sam(boundinrubber-Jet der Hund) took this last year for me. http://fursuitphotos.dexcat.net/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=1

Midwest FurFest 2010

Last weekend I went to my first Furry Convention in Chicago at Midwest FurFest. Furries have never been a turn on but I absolutely love the fun vibe you get when you’re around somebody in costume.


We drove by the front of the hotel convention center and saw about 5 in costume hanging out (read that as COOLING DOWN). I think we all cheered from inside the car. A couple waved.

There was an instant feeling of excitement when you walked into the lobby and… BAM!   There they were. Dozens of them.

We decided to just go for one day so we could see the vendor market ($25 was a bit much to ask for entry) and the Parade.  The first person we saw, of course, was Reddy. 



Many outsiders see a Furry and automatically think something Sexual is going on. I didn’t see anything sexual the entire time we were there nor were there any sexual advances toward me. (Although there was one “blind puppy” there I think is incredibly cute). There was sex going on in the hotel rooms but nobody was sexual in the market, lobby, etc. Bummed I couldn’t attend the unofficial Gear Party that was going on that night but I had a Shiatsu class in the morning.  Sometimes, I really hate being a responsible adult.

Personally, I can’t say that seeing a Furry is a turn on.  But, then again, I haven’t tried on a costume.  I didn’t think Neoprene would be so fun and sexy to wear until I tried it on.  Somebody should help me out with this problem.   

I’ve been to many different kinds of conventions. From Kink events, to Metaphysical/Physic events (Mom’s a High Wiccan Priestess) to Comic Book conventions. With the Furry Convention, I noticed one thing they all seem to have in common. Nearly everyone there has a bit of insecurity or awkwardness about themselves… but it’s all respected and pretty much dismissed as everyone is all there for the same reason. Same interests. The ice has already been broken. Where they might not feel comfortable other times of the year, here they are with their People… just like when I go to a Kink event. I seriously have never been to any event where I didn’t feel like I was in the middle of one Giant Colorful Furry HUG.

Many thanks to Reddy & Co for being our tour guides for our first Furry Con.   We had a great time.     And we’re still pulling fur off our clothes.   LOL!
