Walkers are frames that allow horses to exercise by themselves in a circle. For horse owners, they reduce the amount of supervision required, and like a lot of equestrian equipment the idea can be adapted to BDSM. Horses spend their whole lives in some form of bondage or captivity if you think about it You do see horse walkers appear in pony play contexts now and then: there was one at the old Deferre woodland in Devon, and a couple of Insex scenes had them made out of some of PD's scaffolding. So it's something I'd had at the back of my mind for a while when at the end of last year @mia had a dream about being in one.

After we watched one of the Insex videos, I started working out how to put a pony walker scene together in the cellars here. I put some chain between the existing eyebolts in the ceiling, and rigged up a length of steel tubing attached to the midpoint. Then I fastened the tubing to a leather collar to do the scene mia blogged about last month.

Today we did a longer scene, using an improved set up. The tubing is about a metre long, with vice-flattened ends drilled with holes to take snaplinks. I got a swivelling snaplink from Screwfix to go at the pivot point on the ceiling: otherwise the tube and links twist up and you have to change directions or unravel the chain every few minutes. I put a new eyebolt in the ceiling which is closer to the centre of the room, again recessed an inch into one of the massive Victorian ceiling/floor joists.

In the picture you can just see the leather posture collar with the tubing clipped to its D-ring. Out of shot, mia had a corset, ankle cuffs with bells, leather mitts, and a belt pinning her upper arms together. Later on I replaced the posture collar with a black bag hood, which heightened her feeling of just having one thing to do and no choice about it.

I've also been thinking of ways of setting up a pony walker at Bridgewood, but that would be something more substantial that also didn't require direct supervision (with a rigid attachment to a collar, you want to be there if the pony trips over.)
