Chapter 6: Bonding
Riley was led out of her stall by Alexis. "I'd like you to keep walking like a Pony, Riley. remember knees high and point your toes. It'll be easier without the boots but you should get into the habit of always walking this way." Alexis spoke reassuringly, she wanted Riley to want to do this, not because she was being forced to.
She wanted Riley to embrace this lifestyle and enjoy it as much as she did. As they walked out of the stables and towards the main house, Riley stumbled slightly, her knees still not used to the high lifting position.
Alexis placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, guiding her steady. "It's okay, Riley. Remember to keep your balance and focus on your steps. You're doing great. There isn't going to be any punishment or correction, I know how tired you are, just try your best." Alexis reassured her, Alexis's touch was comforting, but Riley still felt a twinge of embarrassment at her clumsiness.
As they entered the shower room Riley was taken aback by how sterile and bare it was. The floors a drab grey tile and the walls were white. There were a set of 4, what could loosely be describe as, shower cubicles. In actual fact the were a small alcove with a drain on the floor. There didn't seem to be a shower head and Riley wondered where the water came from.
"Do you need to pee?" Asked Alexis.
Riley nodded, her cheeks still flushed from the heat and exertion of their training session. Alexis led her over to one of the alcoves and gestured for her to go ahead. Alexis then turned her back to Riley. Riley stepped inside, grateful for the privacy.
Riley sighed and as she relieved herself, she noticed the strange shower heads embedded in the ceiling. They didn't look like normal shower heads, they were more like large, round nozzles. She shrugged it off and finished her business, looking forward to the cool water she knew was coming.
Just as she was about to step out, she heard the sound of water beginning to flow from the ceiling.
She looked up and saw that the nozzle was directly above her, and the water was coming out in a strong, steady stream. She yelped in surprise, but there was nowhere to go. She was trapped in the small alcove, the water hitting her with full force.
Alexis chuckled from outside the alcove. "Sorry, Riley. I forgot to warn you about the showers here. They're a bit... intense. But you'll get used to it."
Riley gritted her teeth as the water continued to pummel her. It was cold, much colder than she had expected, and it was hitting her with a force that took her breath away. "Let the water ease your muscles Riley, bend over and the flow hit your backside." Alexis instructed. Riley quickly complied, bending over at the waist to let the water hit her back and shoulders. The force of the water was intense, but the sensation was invigorating. She could feel the tension in her muscles slowly easing as the water worked its magic.
Alexis watched Riley with approval, a small smile playing on her lips. "See, it's not so bad once you get used to it. The showers here are designed to be intense, but they're also incredibly effective at cleaning and soothing sore muscles."
Riley nodded, her eyes closed as she let the water do its work. Now your legs, get them under the stream." Alexis instructed, her voice soft yet commanding. Riley complied, turning so that her legs were directly under the water. She let out a gasp as the cold water hit her thighs and calves, the force of it almost painful. But she gritted her teeth and bore it, knowing that this was part of the process.
"Good girl," Alexis praised, her voice soothing and encouraging. I'm proud of you."
Riley felt a warmth spread through her at Alexis's words. She wanted to please her, to show her that she was capable and strong.
She wanted to be a good pony girl, the best pony girl. So, she focused on the sensation of the water, the way it stung her muscles, the way it made her skin tingle. She could feel her body responding to the cold, her nipples hardening and her skin breaking out in goosebumps. But she didn't complain, she didn't even flinch. She just stood there, her body tense and her jaw clenched, and she let the water do its work.
After a few minutes, Alexis turned off the water. Riley let out a sigh of relief, her body trembling slightly with the sudden lack of sensation.
She straightened up, her eyes still closed as she let the last droplets of water roll down her skin. She felt alive, invigorated, like she had just been doused with a mixture of ice and fire.
Alexis stepped in front of her, her eyes scanning Riley's body with approval. "You did well, Riley. I can see the transformation already. You're going to make an amazing pony girl."
Riley opened her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips as she met Alexis's gaze.
"Thank you," she murmured, her voice soft but filled with gratitude.
Alexis smiled back, her eyes softening with pride and affection. "You deserve it, Riley. You've worked so hard today, and you should be proud of yourself." Alexis held out her hand and Riley noticed a sugar cube sitting in her outstretched hand.
"Here, take this. It's a special treat for you. You've earned it." Alexis said warmly.
Riley hesitated for a moment, her stomach rumbling at the sight of the sugar. She hadn't eaten anything substantial since breakfast, and her body was craving nourishment. But something in her wanted to rebel, to assert her control over the situation. She was a college student, not a horse. She didn't want to be fed like one.
Seeing the hesitation in Riley's eyes, Alexis smiled gently and took a step closer. "Riley, please. This is part of the experience.
Pony girls are rewarded with treats when they behave well. And you've earned this, Riley." Alexis's voice was soft and coaxing, her hand still outstretched with the sugar cube.
Riley felt a surge of defiance, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at the sugar cube. She didn't want to be treated like a pet, like an animal. She was a human being, damn it. But at the same time, a part of her was curious, intrigued by the idea of giving in to this new world, this new lifestyle.
She looked into Alexis's eyes, saw the genuine concern and kindness there, and felt a sense of trust and safety. She took a deep breath and reached out, taking the sugar cube from Alexis's hand.
Alexis smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners with pride and satisfaction. "Good girl, Riley. That's a good pony girl."
Riley felt a warmth spread through her at Alexis's words, and she popped the sugar cube into her mouth, letting the sweetness melt on her tongue. She closed her eyes, savoring the taste and the sensation of the sugar dissolving in her mouth.
"Look at you two!" A voice echoed in the tiled bathroom. "Letting her talk, letting use her hands to feed herself. I can see I'll have no trouble at all." Victoria stood proudly at the doorway. A tired looking Starbeam was standing behind her, she had a collar on and was pulled along by a leash held by Victoria." You see Starbeam here has learned to be content with her lot in life, she is well trained and well mannered. She knows her place and she doesn't question it." Victoria said, her voice cold and harsh. She turned to Starbeam and barked out an order. "Get down on your knees and beg for your treat."
Riley watched in shock as Starbeam immediately complied, dropping to her knees and bowing her head submissively. Victoria grinned and held out a carrot. "Good girl," she cooed, her voice soft and condescending.
"Now, let's see if you can eat it like a good little pony." She held the carrot out, just out of Starbeam's reach.
Riley's eyes widened as she watched the scene unfold. She felt a mix of horror and fascination, her body tensing as she saw Starbeam struggle to reach the carrot on her knees.
Alexis stepped in front of Riley, blocking her view. "Don't watch," she whispered, her voice firm yet gentle. "This isn't how we do things here, Riley. Remember that."
Riley nodded, taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She continued to watch as Starbeam crunched on the carrot held by Victoria.
"Faster! We don't have all night." Victoria commanded as Starbeam bit off a large chunk of carrot and chewed frantically. "Good girl. You earned that today, you were very well behaved. Now into the shower." Victoria guided Starbeam into an alcove next to the one Riley had stood in.
Strabeam snorted and looked down at the drain below her. Victoria attached the leash to a metal ring at the back of the shower alcove and stood back. "Yes, you may." Victoria smiled as Starbeam stared right into Victoria's as she relieved herself in front of her trainer. Although the Pony Girl always made sure to do this you could see the embarrassment on her face.
Riley turned away wanting to give the poor Pony Girl privacy like, Alexis had for her.
She heard the sound of water cascading down and quickly looked back. Starbeam was just standing there, letting the water beat down on her. Victoria whistled loudly and Starbeam bent over to let the water soothe her back as Riley had just felt. Another whistle and Starbeam changed position again. This time constricted by her collar attached to the wall.
Riley felt a towel pat her down and turned to see Alexis wiping her dry. She returned to watch Starbeam who although had been given a similar shower to her seemed to enjoy it far less, only moving when she heard her trainers whistle. Riley was in awe of Starbeams obedience.
She was shocked that anyone could be so completely controlled by another person. She had never seen anything like this before, and it was both frightening and intriguing at the same time.
Alexis must have noticed Riley's shocked expression, because she gently placed a hand on Riley's shoulder. "Don't worry, Riley. That's not how I train my ponies." Alexis said softly, her voice filled with concern. "Victoria has her own methods, but they aren't the same as mine.
She believes in strict discipline and obedience, and while that can be effective, it's not the only way to train a pony girl." Alexis spoke softly, her voice calm and reassuring. She guided Riley out of the shower room and back towards the stables, her hand still gently resting on Riley's shoulder.
Riley nodded, her mind still processing what she had just witnessed. She couldn't believe how obedient Starbeam was, how quickly she responded to Victoria's commands. It was almost like she was a different person, a mere shell of herself, completely under Victoria's control.
Alexis led the way as Riley followed behind her, she quickly realised she wasn't walking like a Pony Girl and immediately corrected herself, lifting her knees high and pointing her toes.
She felt a little foolish walking like this but she knew Alexis was right, she needed to get used to it. They walked in silence for a while, the sound of her bare feet padding against the cool tile floor echoing through the hallway.
Alexis turned into a different room before the main stables and Riley followed her in. Riley's stomach flipped as she looked at what appeared to be a room with a dentists chair. Riley shuddered, she had a fear of dentists from her childhood.
She could still remember the drilling and the smell of the latex gloves. She remembered how helpless and exposed she had felt, sitting in that big leather chair. She had never told anyone about her fear, she just avoided going to the dentist at all cost.
Alexis noticed Riley's expression and paused, turning to face her. "Riley, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Riley hesitated for a moment, her stomach churning with anxiety. She took a deep breath and admitted, "I'm sorry, Alexis. I have a phobia of dentists.
I haven't been to one in years." Riley confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. She could feel the panic rising in her chest, her heart pounding wildly against her ribcage. She hated the feeling of helplessness, the sensation of being trapped and vulnerable. She had experienced enough of that today, and she wasn't sure she could handle any more.
Alexis's brows furrowed with concern, and she took a step closer to Riley, her hand reaching out to rest gently on Riley's arm. "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to go in there if you don't want to but this isn't a real dentist room, it's just to give you an inspection."
A door at the other end of the room opened and a man walked in. "Ah Alexis, lovely to see you. Are you back for summer?" Alexis asked the man as he approached.
"Indeed, I am. And who might this young lady be?" The man asked, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Riley. Riley retreated and tried to cover her naked body with her arms, feeling vulnerable and exposed.
"This is Riley, my new pony girl," Alexis said proudly. "Riley, this is Dr. Ferris. He's the one who makes sure all the pony girls are healthy and happy. Riley, don't be embarrassed Ponies don't wear clothes anyway" Alexis said reassuringly, noting Riley's attempt to shield her nakedness.
Dr. Ferris smiled warmly at Riley, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Welcome, Riley. I'm glad to meet you. And don't worry, I promise I won't hurt you. I'm just here to make sure you're in good health."
Riley nodded, her arms still crossed over her chest in a vain attempt to cover herself. Dr. Ferris noticed her discomfort and offered a comforting smile.
"You know, Riley, in this lifestyle, modesty is not something we concern ourselves with. It's all about being natural, being comfortable in your own skin. Would you like to try relaxing your arms?" he asked softly.
Riley took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest. She slowly uncrossed her arms, her eyes downcast as she tried to meet the doctor's gaze. The cool air of the room seemed to hug her skin, making her aware of every inch of her exposed body. She felt a blush spread across her cheeks, but she forced herself to hold still, to be brave. She looked at Alexis who gave a reassuring smile and a nod.
"I understand you are new to this." Dr Ferris began.
"She just arrived today." Alexis interjected.
" Ah, I see." Dr. Ferris nodded. "Well, then let's take this one step at a time, shall we? Riley, I'm going to do a basic physical exam, just to make sure you're in good health. I promise to be gentle and respectful. You can stop me at any time if you feel uncomfortable, okay?"
Riley nodded, taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart. She was still nervous, still feeling exposed, but she trusted Alexis, and she knew that Alexis trusted Dr. Ferris. She could do this. She would do this.
Riley let herself relax a little, her shoulders dropping and her arms hanging loosely by her sides. She saw Dr. Ferris approach her with a stethoscope and some latex gloves, but she didn't flinch or try to back away. He smiled kindly at her as he began to examine her, his touch gentle and professional.
"Breathe in deeply for me, Riley," he said softly, placing the stethoscope on her chest. She complied, her breath hitching slightly as she felt the cold metal against her skin. Dr. Ferris listened intently, then moved the stethoscope to her back.
"And out," he instructed, after a moment. Riley exhaled, feeling a strange sense of calm wash over her as she followed the doctor's commands. She had always been a people pleaser, and there was something oddly satisfying about being told what to do, especially in such a clinical setting.
As Dr. Ferris continued his examination, Riley tried to focus on the sensations she was experiencing. The cool metal of the stethoscope, the way the doctor's hands lightly rested on her skin as he listened to her lungs, the gentle pressure of his fingers as he palpated her abdomen.
"Now Alexis. Would it be ok to get her into the examination chair?" Dr. Ferris asked Alexis, his voice soft and professional. Alexis nodded, guiding Riley over to the chair. Riley hesitated for a moment before climbing onto the chair. She felt exposed and vulnerable, her bare skin chilled by the cool room.
"Just relax, Riley. You're doing great," Alexis said reassuringly, her hand resting on Riley's shoulder. Riley took a deep breath and tried to relax, her muscles tensing as the doctor began to examine her more thoroughly. "I'll be here the whole time."
Dr. Ferris began by checking her blood pressure, his hands gently guiding her arm into the cuff.
Riley tried to distract herself by focusing on the rhythmic sound of the pump inflating and deflating.
"Your blood pressure is normal, Riley," Dr. Ferris said, his voice reassuring. "Now let's check your reflexes."
He tapped her knee with a small hammer, and Riley's leg jerked slightly. She felt a sense of relief as he smiled and noted something on his clipboard.
"Good, good," he murmured. "Now, lie back and let me listen to your heart."
Riley complied, feeling a flush of embarrassment as she exposed her breasts to the doctor's gaze.
She quickly looked away, her eyes scanning the room for a distraction. She noticed a small vase of flowers on the windowsill and focused on them, trying to imagine she was anywhere but here.
Dr. Ferris placed the stethoscope on her chest and listened to her heartbeat, his touch gentle and professional. Riley tried to focus on the sound of her own heartbeat, the steady thrumming in her chest comforting and familiar. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm her racing thoughts.
After a few moments, Dr. Ferris moved the stethoscope to her lower abdomen.
"Now, Riley, I need to check your bowel sounds. Just relax and let me listen." Riley tensed slightly at the mention of her bowels, but she trusted Dr. Ferris and tried to relax as he listened.
He moved his stethoscope around her belly, listening intently before looking up at her. "Everything sounds normal so far, Riley. Now, I need to perform a rectal exam to make sure there are no issues with your lower digestive system."
Riley's eyes widened, and she shot up on the chair. "No way! I'm not doing that!" she exclaimed, her heart racing with panic.
"I can't do that! That's way too personal!"
Dr. Ferris looked at her with understanding in his eyes, his voice soft and reassuring. "Riley, I understand this might be uncomfortable for you, but it's a necessary part of the examination. I promise to be gentle and quick. You can trust me."
Riley looked at Alexis, her eyes wide with fear and uncertainty. Alexis gave her an encouraging nod and a reassuring smile. Dr. Ferris is a professional. You're in good hands."
Riley took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.
She trusted Alexis, and she knew that Alexis trusted Dr. Ferris. But the thought of someone examining her there was mortifying. She looked into Alexis's eyes, searching for any sign of doubt or hesitation. But all she saw was encouragement and support.
"Okay," she whispered, her voice barely above a whimper. She closed her eyes and took another deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what was to come.
"That's my girl," Alexis murmured, squeezing her shoulder gently. "You're doing great, Riley.
Just a little more to go," Dr. Ferris said softly as he applied a small amount of lubricant to his gloved hand. Riley flinched slightly at the cold touch but trusted the doctor. She buried her face in her arms, trying to block out the strange and invasive sensation. She focused on her breath, in and out, in and out, just like she had been taught in yoga. The distraction helped her to relax a little, and she felt her body loosen up.
"All done," Dr. Ferris said after what felt like an eternity. "You did great, Riley. We're all finished, I'd like to exam your teeth next if that is ok." Dr Ferris said as he moved to stand at her side.
"Riley has a fear of dentists, would it be ok if you did the exam sitting up instead of in the chair." Alexis asks.
"Of course" Dr Ferris said smiling. "If that would make you more comfortable.
Riley looked up at him and nodded, her heart still racing but she was relieved it was over. She climbed down from the chair and moved to stand beside Alexis.
"Open wide for me Riley." Dr. Ferris instructed.
Riley slowly opened her mouth and let the doctor examine her teeth, his gloved hands gentle and professional. She could feel a slight pressure as he used his dental mirror to look at the back of her teeth.
"Everything looks good here, Riley. No cavities or signs of gum disease. That's excellent." Dr. Ferris said with a smile.
"Now, let's take a look at your gums. Say 'ah' for me." Riley complied, her cheeks still flushed from the earlier examination. Dr. Ferris used a small probe to check her gums, his touch gentle and professional. "No signs of inflammation or bleeding, which is great. You must be taking good care of your oral health." Riley nodded, grateful that the examination was almost over. "That's very important, especially in this lifestyle. Now, let's have a look at your tongue." Dr. Ferris held out a wooden tongue depressor, which Riley took with a nod.
She placed it on her tongue and tried to keep her gag reflex at bay as the doctor examined her.
"Excellent," Dr. Ferris said, removing the depressor. "Your mouth is in great shape, Riley. Now, let's just check your throat real quick."
He handed Riley a small cup and a spoon. "Go ahead and gargle with this, please."
Riley took the cup and spoon, filling the spoon with the liquid inside. It tasted like peppermint, cool and refreshing. She gargled as instructed, then spat it out into the cup.
Dr. Ferris examined the contents briefly before nodding in approval. "All clear. You're in excellent health, Riley. Just remember to keep taking care of yourself, especially your teeth and gums. We want to keep them in that pristine condition."
"Alexis, as her trainer I will give you a full breakdown of her nutrition programme." Dr Ferris spoke directly to Alexis acting as Riley wasn't even in the room. "Your pony will be booked in for her gynaecological exam. I can see she her lips are puffy and wet so assume she has been sexually stimulated by your training?" Dr. Ferris asked, his voice professional yet curious.
Alexis blushed slightly, "Yes, that's correct. I believe it's important to reward pony girls for their good behavior, and Riley has been doing exceptionally well so far." Alexis spoke confidently, her gaze steady on Dr. Ferris.
Dr. Ferris nodded, "That's very important, and I must commend you on your approach. Too often, trainers focus solely on the discipline aspect and forget to reward their ponies. It's important to remember that a pony is a living, breathing being with feelings and needs. They respond best when they feel valued and cared for."
Riley stood awkwardly as her sexual stimulation was being discussed in front of her.
She felt a wave of embarrassment as she realized that her arousal was obvious. She crossed her arms over her chest, trying to hide her breasts, and looked down at the floor.
Dr. Ferris noticed her discomfort and quickly changed the subject. "Well, it seems like you're off to a great start, Alexis. Keep up the good work." He turned to Riley and smiled warmly. "And you, Riley, are in excellent health. Just keep listening to Alexis and following her instructions, and you'll do just fine. You've been a very good pony."
Alexis grinned. "Riley, please keep your front legs by your side." Riley slowly dropped her arms so the hung by her side. Alexis continued. "A pony girl should be proud to be in such good health and useful to her trainer."
Alexis said to Riley, her voice filled with pride. She turned to Dr. Ferris and thanked him for his time and expertise before guiding Riley out of the room.
As they walked back towards the stables, Riley asked, "So, what's next on the agenda?"
Alexis coughed as she saw Victoria and Starbeam enter the Dr's office. "Please Riley, you must try and learn not to speak outside of your stall." Alexis scolded lightly while guiding Riley into another small room. "Ponies are not supposed to speak unless spoken to."
Riley ducked her head slightly in apology, "I'm sorry, Alexis. I didn't mean to." Riley responded, her voice soft and submissive.
Alexis smiled, "It's okay, Riley. I know you're still learning. Just remember to keep quiet unless I ask you something or give you permission to speak. Now, come in and sit down."
Riley entered the room as instructed and saw a small, dark-haired woman sitting at a table. She was dressed in a black corset and stockings. Her eyes were downcast, and she sat with her legs pressed tightly together.
"This is Luna," Alexis said, gesturing to the woman.
"She's our resident beauty and grooming specialist. She'll be taking care of your grooming needs while you're here."
Riley nodded, her eyes darting between Alexis and Luna. She noticed Luna's eyes flick up briefly before returning to the table. The room was dimly lit, with soft, romantic music playing in the background. It felt more like a boudoir than a salon.
"I understand you're new to this," Luna said, her voice barely above a whisper.
She looked up at Riley, her eyes meeting hers for a brief moment before darting away again. "Don't be afraid. I'm here to make you feel beautiful and cared for."
Riley hesitated for a moment, her stomach twisting with a mix of nerves and curiosity. She looked at Alexis, who nodded encouragingly. Luna is very skilled and gentle. She'll take good care of you."
Riley took a deep breath and sat down at the table, trying to relax her tense muscles. Luna stood up and walked around the table, her movements graceful and fluid.
She had a subtle scent of vanilla and sweet almonds, and Riley found herself breathing in deeply, the smell calming her nerves. Luna placed her hands gently on Riley's shoulders, her touch light and soothing.
"First, let's start with your hair," Luna said softly, her fingers running through Riley's long blonde locks. "Is it okay if I wash it for you?"
Riley nodded, her eyes closed as she leaned into Luna's touch. She felt Luna's fingers working through her hair, massaging her scalp gently. It was relaxing, and she could feel her muscles beginning to unwind.
She had always loved getting her hair washed, and the way Luna was doing it was soothing and sensual.
"You have beautiful hair, Riley," Luna murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's so soft and shiny."
Riley felt warmth spread through her at the compliment. She was used to hearing compliments on her hair, but there was something different about the way Luna said it. It was almost like a caress, a gentle touch that lingered long after the words were spoken.
Luna worked quickly and efficiently, lathering Riley's hair with a luxurious shampoo that smelled like almonds and honey. "Luna, may I help you wash her hair. I think it would be a good bonding experience?" Alexis asked.
"Of course," Luna replied with a smile. Alexis moved closer and soon Riley had Luna's and Alexis's hands running through her hair.
The dual massage was relaxing and pleasurable, the combination of the scents of vanilla, almonds and Alexis's familiar perfume making Riley feel like she was in a spa. The dual massage felt like a dance, with Luna and Alexis's hands moving in sync, a gentle rhythm that made Riley feel like she was floating.
As the shampoo was rinsed out, Riley let out a sigh of pleasure. "That feels amazing," she murmured.
Luna smiled. "Good. Now let's condition it.
This will make it so shiny and soft," Luna said, her hands working the conditioner through Riley's hair.
Riley moaned softly, the sensation of the cool conditioner and the gentle massage making her feel like she was in heaven. She could feel her body relaxing, her muscles loosening up with each passing moment.
As Luna rinsed out the conditioner, Alexis began to gently towel dry Riley's hair. The soft fabric felt wonderful against her skin, and Riley let out another soft moan.
"You like that, don't you?" Alexis murmured, her voice low and soothing.
"I can tell how much you're enjoying this, Riley. It's good to see you let go and just feel the sensations."
Riley nodded slightly, her eyes closed as she savored the feeling of the towel against her scalp. She had always been a tactile person, loving the sensation of different textures against her skin. The soft towel, combined with the gentle massage of Alexis's hands, was almost overwhelming in its pleasure.
Luna smiled and began to brush out Riley's hair, her strokes long and sure. "Now, let's set this beauty to dry.
You'll look absolutely radiant with your hair all shiny and smooth." Luna said as she guided Riley to a large, cushioned chair. Alexis stood behind Riley, her hands gently caressing Riley's shoulders as she watched Luna work.
"You're doing so well, Riley. You're really taking to this lifestyle," Alexis murmured, her voice filled with pride. She wanted to be the best pony girl she could be.
Soon the illusion that this was a normal spa was over as a tight @Posture Collar was fitted around Riley's neck. "This is just to keep your head straight." Purred Luna.
"It's a very important part of being a pony girl. It keeps your posture perfect, and it looks absolutely stunning on you." Luna spoke as she fastened the collar, her fingers brushing gently against Riley's skin. Riley could feel her heart racing as the cool leather touched her neck, the sensation both strange and exhilarating.
Alexis smiled, her eyes gleaming with pride. "It suits you, Riley. You look like a real pony girl now."
Riley felt a flush of heat spread through her as she looked at herself in the mirror that Luna had placed in front of her. She barely recognized the girl staring back at her.
The collar accentuated her long neck, making her look graceful and elegant. Her hair, now dry and brushed to a glossy finish, cascaded down her back in loose waves. She looked like a different person, a different version of herself. A pony girl.
Luna smiled at Riley's reflection, her eyes crinkling at the corners with pride. "There, all done. You look stunning, Riley. A real showstopper."
"Now lets deal with your dirty finger and toenails." Luna added as she ushered Riley to a nearby seat. With the addition of her @Posture Collar she felt it easier to remember she was now a Pony Girl and high stepped her way to the chair.
Alexis smiled watching Riley's pussy turn a deeper shade of pink.
"That's a good pony," Alexis purred, her hand slowly stroking Riley's inner thigh. "Just relax and let go. You know you want this."
Riley's breath hitched as she fought against the waves of pleasure coursing through her body. She wanted to beg Alexis to stop, but she knew that would only make things worse. She was at Alexis's mercy, and all she could do was submit. Riley stared ahead, unable to look down at where Alexis's hands were because of the collar.
"Is the leather @Posture Collar turning you on my Pony Girl?" Alexis cooed as she continued to draw little circles on Riley's bare thighs.
"Your nipples are so hard, Riley. They're begging to be touched, aren't they?"
Riley bit her lip, trying to hold back a whimper. She desperately wanted Alexis to touch her, to ease the ache that was building between her legs. But she also wanted to please Alexis, to follow the rules like a good Pony Girl should.
"Please, Alexis," Riley whispered, her voice barely above a breath. "Touch me."
Alexis chuckled, a low and sensual sound that sent shivers down Riley's spine. "I knew you'd break from that. Remember Pony Girl doesn't talk." Alexis scolded gently. Riley bit her lip, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She was new to this role and still learning the rules. She took a deep breath and forced herself to relax, letting her legs fall open slightly.
Alexis smiled, her hand trailing up Riley's thigh, teasing her. You're learning."
Luna watched the interaction, her eyes intent on Riley's body language. She could see the tension in Riley's shoulders, the way she held her breath, but also the way her nipples hardened and her thighs parted ever so slightly.
Luna looked on observing the young trainer, this was not the kind of behaviour she would have thought normal when she was being trained by Alexis's mother. But times change she thought. "Shall I begin on your pony's hooves? Miss, Miller" Luna asked.
She was used to vetting the rules of the trainer before she began grooming a pony girl. She needed to make sure she wasn't overstepping her boundaries.
Alexis looked at Riley then back at Luna, "Of course, Luna. Riley, you can talk if you have any questions for Luna, but other than that, please be quiet." Alexis said.
Riley nodded, her chest heaving slightly as she tried to catch her breath. She was feeling a mixture of embarrassment and excitement, and her body was a tense mix of arousal and anxiety.
She felt like a candle being burned from both ends, and she wasn't sure which sensation would consume her first.
Luna smiled warmly at Riley, "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll take good care of you. Now, let's see about these nails, shall we?" She gestured for Riley to place her feet on the footrest of the chair. Riley complied, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for Luna to begin her work.
Alexis watched as Luna began to trim and shape Riley's nails, her touch gentle yet firm.
"First, let's get these nails cleaned and shaped," Luna said, her voice soft and soothing. She took a small brush and began to scrub Riley's nails, her touch firm but gentle. "There's a lot of dirt and grime built up here. You must have been working hard."
Riley nodded, her gaze fixed on the ceiling as she tried to distract herself from the strange sensations coursing through her body. She could feel Alexis's eyes on her, their intensity making her heart race even faster. She longed for Alexis to touch her, to ease the ache that was growing between her legs with each passing moment.
But she knew better than to beg. She had to be patient, to let her trainer set the pace.
After what felt like an eternity, Alexis finally spoke again, her voice low and husky. You're doing so well. I can see how much you're enjoying this."
Riley's eyes fluttered open, meeting Alexis's gaze. She saw the heat in her friend's eyes, the desire that was reflected back at her. It was intoxicating, and she couldn't help but squirm in her seat, her thighs pressing together as she sought some relief from the ache.
Alexis smiled, noting the flush that was spreading across Riley's chest and neck. "You're a natural, Riley. I can tell. You're so responsive, so eager to please."
Luna finished trimming Riley's nails and moved on to buffing them, her touch light and precise. "You have beautiful feet, Riley. Strong and graceful, just like a pony should be." Riley felt a warmth spread through her at Luna's words, her toes curling slightly in response. She had always been proud of her feet, and the fact that someone else noticed and appreciated them made her feel even more confident in her new role.
"Thank you, Luna," Riley whispered, her eyes meeting the older woman's.
Luna smiled back, her eyes soft with kindness. "You're welcome, sweetheart. Now, let's get some polish on those hooves, shall we? A pretty color to make them really stand out."
Riley nodded, her gaze flicking to Alexis for approval. "You may whinny If you like, Riley" Alexis encouraged, a playful twinkle in her eye.
Riley hesitated for a moment, the idea of making a noise like a horse seemed strange and ridiculous. But she saw the amusement and encouragement in Alexis's eyes and decided to give it a try. She took a deep breath and let out a soft, "Neeeigh." It sounded more like a cross between a horse and a small child trying to imitate one, but Alexis and Luna both laughed softly.
"That's perfect, Riley!" Alexis praised.
"You sound just like a little filly. Luna, what color would you say suits her best?"
Luna thought for a moment, her eyes scanning Riley's feet before settling on a color. "I think a soft lavender would be perfect. It'll really make her nails stand out and complement her skin tone."
Alexis nodded in agreement. "That sounds lovely. Let's go with that."
Riley felt a flutter of excitement in her stomach as Luna began to paint her toenails. She had never had her nails done before, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of indulgence and luxury.
The soft purples sparkled under the salon lights, and she wiggled her toes, watching the colors shift and change.
"There, all done," Luna said, her voice filled with satisfaction. "Just a few moments to dry, and you'll be good to go."
Riley looked down at her feet, a smile spreading across her face. She felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, like she had just completed a marathon. She looked up at Alexis and Luna, her eyes shining with gratitude.
"Now her finger nails, match her forward hooves to her back ones." Alexis asked Luna politely. Alexis stroked RIley's soft hair. "Your toes will be hidden inside your @Pony Boots most of the time but your fingers will be on full display." Addresing Riley who leaned into her touch.
You look so beautiful." Alexis murmured, her eyes shining with pride. "And you've been so good, taking everything in stride. I'm proud of you."
Riley's cheeks flushed with warmth at Alexis's praise. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this good about herself, this proud of her accomplishments. She had always been a bit of a tomboy, preferring the company of her brother and his friends over a day at the salon.
But here, in this room, with the soft music and the dim lighting, she felt a sense of femininity and sensuality that she had never experienced before.
Luna began to paint Riley's fingernails, her strokes precise and confident. Riley watched as the polish dried, her heart fluttering with excitement.
"Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath. "I feel...beautiful."
Alexis smiled, her eyes softening with affection.
"You are beautiful, Riley. And it's not just because of the polish or the grooming. It's because of who you are inside. Your spirit, your kindness, your determination. That's what makes you truly beautiful."
Riley felt a lump form in her throat, her eyes welling up with unshed tears. She had never expected to feel so seen, so appreciated, by her best friend. She looked into Alexis's eyes, the love and admiration reflecting back at her, and felt a profound sense of connection.
Luna finished painting Riley's nails, her touch gentle and comforting. "There you go, sweetheart.
All done," Luna said, her voice soft and gentle. She held out a small mirror so Riley could see her newly polished nails.
"They're perfect, Luna. Thank you so much," Riley whispered, her eyes shining with unshed tears. She looked up at Alexis, her lip trembling slightly. "Thank you, Alexis. For everything. I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I'm so grateful."
Alexis smiled, her eyes warm and kind. "You don't have to thank me, Riley. I want to do this. I want to take care of you, to help you grow and flourish.
That's what trainers are for, after all. To nurture and guide their ponies." Alexis said her voice filled with sincerity. She smiled at Riley and it was so genuine and heartfelt, Riley couldn't hold back the tears any longer. A single tear escaped and trickled down her cheek. Alexis brushed the tear away with her thumb. "It's okay, Riley. It's okay to cry. Let it out."
Riley lowered her head as much as the collar would allow, allowing the tears to fall freely. Alexis held her, letting her cry into her shoulder. She stroked her hair gently, soothing her with soft words and gentle touches.
Let it all out. You're safe here with me."
Riley cried until there were no tears left, her body wracked with sobs that felt like they were coming from the depths of her soul. When she finally pulled away, she felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She looked up at Alexis, her eyes red and puffy, but her cheeks flushed with a mix of shame and gratitude.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice hoarse from crying. "I don't know what came over me."
Alexis smiled softly, her eyes filled with understanding and compassion.
"There's no need to apologize, Riley. It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and emotional when you're going through something new and intense. You've been through a lot today, and it's okay to let it out."
She handed Riley a tissue, and Riley wiped her eyes and blew her nose. "I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "One moment I'm excited and aroused, and the next I'm terrified and crying my eyes out."
Alexis nodded, her expression serious. "That's completely normal, Riley. Now lets get you something to eat before we take you back to your stall. Now no more talking, Pony Girl." Alexis turned to Luna who had packed up the nail polish. "Thank you. She's everything I dreamed she would be." Alexis said to Luna as she looked at Riley's back.
Riley felt a fresh wave of tears threaten to spill over as she heard Alexis's words. She felt overwhelmed and exhausted, her emotions a whirlwind of confusion and excitement.
Luna smiled warmly at Riley, her eyes filled with kindness. "She's a natural, isn't she? You've done a wonderful job training her already, Miss Miller. She'll make you proud."
Riley felt a warm glow spread through her at Luna's words. She had always been competitive, always striving to be the best at everything she did.
