CHAPTER 1: PONYBOY
*
The stream at the bottom of the path leading up to the moor was chill but Bryony and I were both hot, sweating hard in our harnesses as we plunged onto the fast flowing water making it splash over our naked skin. It was spring and the rain on the moor had raised the water level so it came up to our knees making it hard to wade through and the hooves of my pony boots sunk into the soft mud of the streambed as we crossed it pulling the chariot to which we were harnessed.
At least the thigh high pony boots kept my feet dry.
As we started on the hill ahead, dragging the chariot free of the water, I felt Bryony pull slightly ahead and knew what was coming; a moment later I felt the sting of the whip on my buttocks and redoubled my effort. It wasn't enough, the whip came again...and kept coming.
'I warned you PonyBoy!' Rubber Dolly shouted as she struck me again. 'Slack at the bottom and you get whipped all the way to the top.'
I grunted into my bridle and willed my tired legs to a faster pace. It was our fourth run of the morning.
*
It takes nearly ten minutes to climb from the stream to the moor and Rubber Dolly whipped me all the way so that by the time we reached the top of the hill my buttocks were burning almost as much as my chest and the muscles in my legs but it wan't quite over; there was still the obligatory final sprint; at least she divided the whip equally between us for that part forcing us to full gallop despite our exhaustion and then reining us in just before the end of the path.
Bryony and I stood gasping, sweat dripping from us, lungs burning as we sucked air in around our bits.
'Not bad.' Rubber Dolly said as she climbed down from the chariot and walked round to stand in front of us, patting my smarting bottom gently as she passed.
As usual our Mistress was dressed in tight rubber, this morning a figure hugging white rubber blouse that seemed moulded to her skin, clinging beautifully to her lovely firm breasts and outlining every detail of her stiffly erect nipples with their dressage piercings; her black rubber 'jodhpurs' also seemed moulded to her bottom and thighs like a second skin before disappearing into the shiny black riding boots that Bryony and I had spent the previous evening polishing.
She stood facing us and I watched her stretch, lifting the whip above her head, in a move that was clearly designed to display her lovely rubber clad body to her adoring slaves. Then she turned away and bent forward stretching down to her toes, legs spread, showing off the beautiful shiny curve of her bottom and displaying her rubber covered sex in anatomical detail along with her clitoral and multiple labial piercings.
My cock twitched in it's tight restraints.
Beyond Mistress, the moor stretched out to the sea, a rippled grey with sunlight shining on wave crests and bursts of white where waves broke in the wind. The sky above was grey, with white clouds whipped along in the wind.
'Beautiful view.' Mistress said straightening up and turning to face us.
*
She was beautiful, our mistress, the erstwhile dressage mare, Rubber Dolly or 'Miss Carter' as Bryony had once called her when she'd been the village schoolteacher. She had dark thick hair to her shoulders, pale skin, a straight broad nose and full lips always on the edge of a smile; but it was her eyes that held my attention; storm grey like the sky.
Well, her eyes and her rubber clad body.
Bryony and I stood before her, harnessed side by side to the double chariot; both bridled and shod in pony boots; otherwise naked save the heavy training harnesses strapped tightly to our bodies and polo pony sheaths that restrained our arms folded behind our backs, mitted hands fastened to opposite shoulders; a legacy of our visit to Argentina. And, of course, we wore our collars too; the slim metal bands locked around our necks, signs of our subjugation, our slavery to the goddess who was our rubber mistress.
We were hardly a matching pair, of course; Bryony (or 'Sticky Fingers' to use her pony name) a little over five feet even in her pony boots, pert and red headed; me (currently referred to as 'Ponyboy') nearly six feet tall, muscular and dark haired; this was apart from the obvious difference: as far as I knew, it was the first time a male and female pair had been trained in Mares-de-Launce.
The clue's in the name; in Mares, ponies are called 'mares'. I should probably also clarify that those who sit in the 'chariots' holding the reins and wielding the whip to drive the mares are called 'knights'. (It's a long story involving a knight of the round table and a village maiden and allegedly, the village name means 'Mares of the Lance').
There were, for the pony play aficionados reading this, important differences in our harnesses: they were both training harnesses with padded shoulder straps but where the broad leather straps ran down from our shoulders to our 'girdles', Bryony's had rings for her breasts; hers didn't have a crotch strap either; below, the thick leather girdle was stabilised with thigh straps that I thought looked rather like suspenders and stocking tops; mine didn't have breast rings although there were rings at the level of my nipples, joined by a horizontal strap around my chest; below my 'girdle' I did have a crotch strap and a ring for my cock and balls which were pulled through it and strapped tightly, vertically to the thick leather strap; openly displayed. Bryony ran with a bare sex (a common arrangement for racing mares to reduce chaffing) so, I suppose, it was only fair that my cock was on display too; below my tightly strapped shaft my balls were also strapped down too, equally visible (and vulnerable) in an arrangement I can only describe as 'spatchcocked'.
We were both wearing tails; like every good pony's, mounted on butt plugs; Bryony's was made from her own hair, relatively new; a size fourteen now to allow for the way her sphincter had been stretched by rather more frequent use recently; mine was on loan from our mistress and, mercifully only a size ten even if, the first few times I had worn it, it had felt like a beer bottle being shoved inside me.
We were, naturally, bridled too; there was no real difference in these; a complex mass of leather straps tightened to hold our blinkers in place and keep the rubber coated bits firmly between our teeth. Mercifully, for the time at least, we were being run with bit reins despite the complex collection of ironmongery piercing my fellow pony's nipples.
*
Toying with the coils of her whip our enigmatic mistress came towards us.
'Sticky!' She looked at Bryony addressing her by her pony name. 'You really are getting back into shape'
Turning my head slightly, I saw my fellow pony and new wife nod slightly but, like me she had a bit between her teeth and had not been given permission to speak.
Mistress reached out and hooked a gloved finger into one Sticky's multiple nipple rings, drawing her forwards.
Their lips met in a full on kiss that was, from my point of view unnecessarily long and passionate and would, if my lovely wife had not been bridled probably have been deep and involved tongues. I tried not to stare but the site of my rubber mistress kissing my tightly restrained wife was impossible to ignore.
My cock strained against in its restraints. I seemed to have a constant erection these days which, considering I was being kept as a slave and pony alongside my beautiful wife by a dominatrix who had a thing for rubber and pony play was, perhaps, not entirely surprising.
'Such a good girl.' Mistress murmured as their lips parted.
She turned her attention to me.
'Eyes front, PonyBoy.' She said taking my reins and drawing my head straight. 'Unless you want me to use the blinders.'
