Pony Tales #1
The Riding School
Meet Jenny. She's rich, spoiled, rude and obnoxious. She's also just been signed up for the BDSM ride of her life - without her consent. An intensive training course at the Albrecht Stables is not what it appears to be and training to become a human pony was not on Jenny's to-do list.
The trouble is, how do you escape when you're tied up, gagged and constantly sexually aroused? Which Master or Mistress do you turn to for rescue? And what do you do if you suspect you might actually be enjoying yourself?
This is Jenny's adventure into the world of BDSM and pony play. She's about to find out just how much effort it takes to become a pony girl and that she has no choice but to excel in every aspect of her training or she may never stand a chance of being released from her bondage.
Book One features Jenny's abrupt induction, where she finds herself being stripped naked, medically examined and intimately measured for her new uniform - as a pony girl.

Oh Yesssss
I've just discovered a naughty new series!
This was not my first rodeo with pony play - Ha! 'Rodeo'! See what I did there? - the theme has been touched on in several pieces of power-play erotica over the years. However, this was the first book/series I've read which exclusively focuses on the Pony-Play theme... And I'm already smitten!
We didn't even make it to a full pony scenario in this short story, so I can't wait to continue this series. If this book is any indication of what can be expected from the Pony Tales series, I believe I've stumbled across something quite special!
Jenny Redcliff
I'm still coming to terms with the fact that it was her father who made arrangements for Jenny to be trained by the masters at Albrecht Stables...
Jenny checks into the hotel only to find herself captured and tied down by two old ladies... She's stripped of her clothing before the two women begin taking detailed measurements - inside and outside - for her new leather uniform.
I love that we had the opportunity to see things from the perspective of the captors in addition to Jenny. The two women in the tack room were professional and single minded in their effort to outfit the new filly...
And I cant wait to see more of Master Mark in the next books!

I've just discovered a naughty new series!
As of now, you are an animal. There will be no speech, no clothes and no conscious will of your own. Ponies are no longer seen as human and your sole purpose in life will be to please your owner. You would do well to remember that.WARNING: This book is not meant for squeamish readers!

Jenny Redcliff
She was Jenny, she was not a filly, she was not a pony and she was certainly not going to be an animal for someone's entertainment.Jenny is a lazy spoiled heiress shipped off to an equestrian school by her father. She thought she would be spending the week perfecting her riding skills, but she was oh so very mistaken.

Master Mark
It wasn't a secret that he preferred it when the trainees played hardball. Give him obstinate, unruly, rude, sarcastic, narcissistic or greedy any day. They were a lot more fun to tame than the 'Miss Goody Two Shoes' variety. Jenny was definitely not going to fall under the latter category and that was so much better, She already had him smiling.Oh yes, Master Mark, the proper Englishman who strolls into Jenny's personal nightmare looking like a god in riding clothes *fans self* I definitely need to see more of Master Mark. I be he has delightful plans for Miss Jenny!

Jenny Redcliff is a rich and spoiled princess who is sent to Albrecht Stables for pony training. Ready for a weeklong session of horsemanship, Jenny soon finds out that she is going to be the filly trained and doesn’t have the recourse to leave. With her mind spinning over her situation, the hostesses quickly get Jenny situated for her initial evaluation so she can be properly fitted for her tack!
“As of now, you are an animal. There will be no speech, no clothes and no conscious will of your own.”
The exam puts Jenny at odds with her mind and body because while she is restrained, her body responds to the pleasure given. Once Jenny starts to feel uninhibited, the trainers are able select the perfect accessories needed to be a pretty pony.
“One of the things that all pony girls and boys have in common is that their asses are rarely left unplugged. That’s why you’ll need a ‘breaking in’ session.”
In this novella, the foundation is properly set and we meet an interesting cast of characters beginning with Jenny then Henrietta, Agnes and Master Mark. The entire plot is quite fascinating, and while the pony theme is new for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I look forward to reading the entire series to see how it all plays out. Giddy up!

3,5 'Naughty filly' stars
I have no idea how to rate this. I tried this series some years ago but it wasn't my thing back then. Honestly, it still isn't. Not really. You can imagine that going from fifty shades straight to pony play was a little too abrupt. But people change and what shocked me in the past, now wouldn't even lift my eyebrow. I won't say I just became a big fan of pony play out of a sudden but I can't deny that it does have some appeal. Strictly in books. Say a word pony to me in person, and I'll strangle you with my shoelace.
Ok, so about the book. It's a very short novella. Practically only a few chapters long and is like an introduction to the Pony Rides Hotel or The Albrecht stables, which is a school for ponies? or something like that. This novella kind of sets a stage for the series. It introduces us to the setting and main characters Jenny and Master Mark.
Jenny is to become a filly at The Albrecht stables. No, it wasn't her choice. No, she didn't apply to this. Yes, she'd probably kill to escape. But what are you to do when you are bound and gagged and about to have a forced orgasm?
Master "Drop dead 'I've died and gone to heaven' gorgeous" Mark (Jenny's words, not mine but, yeah, I wholeheartedly agree) is probably one of the most haughty Doms I've ever come across. His sadistic desires seem to be as wide and shiny as his posh English smile. And yet, I can't wait to get more of him. Jenny and I are screwed.

'There, there, horsie,' said Hetty, who had watched Jenny's attempted protest with amusement. 'Most of the fillies around here would kill for a few minutes of Master Mark's time. Give him a few hours and I'm sure you'll be drooling at the mouth along with the rest of them.'
That was exactly what Jenny was afraid of.

Okaaay…… That has got to be the weirdest thing I’ve ever read.
It was so disturbing yet utterly intriguing at the same time. I don’t know if I can say I like it, but it was something. And for something so short, I’d say the author accomplished to shock and entice me for more.

I originally read this somewhere between 3 and 4 years ago, so I'd forgotten that it's pretty short (27 pages), but since it was a freebie I'm not complaining.
This can easily be read just as an erotic short story but if, like me, you become addicted to Jenny and Mark's story it continues through 5 more books (8 if you count the Velvet series). One thing that stands out is that the author certainly has a way with words, despite the initial scenario requiring somewhat of a suspension of disbelief, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this boundary pushing, slightly (very?) dub-con, erotic romance.
Whilst I can imagine this type of school existing for the willing, enrolling unwilling participants and 'selling them on' would open them to a whole host of criminal charges, should that person ever get to contact the police. That said, this is fun erotic fiction and so, in the interests of enjoyment, I'm happy to let that little fact slide.
Despite Jenny being a selfish, spoilt individual, I kind of felt sorry for her. Particularly as it struck me that poor parenting might have been at least partly to blame. This is too light a read to worry about such deep topics (at the moment anyway). The heat level isquite very high, though the content of this book is fairly tame. I do seem to remember it getting kinkier and kinkier as the series progressed and I'm certainly going to be 'Learning the Ropes' next 😉!

I've gotta say that I didn't see this one coming. I thought that I had heard of just about everything, but a literal "pony" fetish is news to me. I'm a firm believer in different strokes for different folks, but for me, this wasn't it. I think if it weren't for the whole pony thing, I probably could have gotten into the story. That said, I couldn't. It was just a little too far out there for me. I think I was more surprised than the female lead to discover that the word "pony" was not some slang term for something else entirely, but did actually refer to a pony. It was definitely a WTF moment for me!
Aside from the pony fetish, I did think the story was well written and probably would have really enjoyed the story otherwise. So, I would read other stories by this author. I'll just need to be sure and read the synopsis more thoroughly. :)

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I have never been that into pony play. I have been into non-con/kidnapping. That being said...
I really liked this book! It wasn't your typical grab the girl off the street type of kidnapping. That was refreshing. Jenny's realization of her immediate future as she entered the tack room was wonderful and I felt like I was there with her as she eyed all of the devices and thought of what they were used for. That helped bring me into the pony play aspect of the story.
The forced sex was great. It made me wonder what I might enjoy (drooling because of a ball gag??) if it were forced upon me and I didn't have the embarrassment of asking for it.
I wonder where the Daddy angle is going (I'm hoping somewhere!) in the future stories since it was Daddy that sent her to the school. Jenny doesn't think her Daddy knows what type of school it is but I'm sure he does. What will she do when she figures this out??
I am looking forward to the next installments.

Tallyho!
The Riding School (Pony Tales, #1) is a fantastic read. First, I love short erotic stories. Long stories are, well, all that sex gets old after awhile. The writing style is engaging and vivid. The characters are wicked cool, and the story line is original and creative.
Who doesn't love it when a spoiled, little rich girl learns a lesson?

Not sure what to expect, I dived into this book and enjoyed it. I rate it 3.5 star and it's one for pony-girl lovers. Ms. Mandara is a new to me author. She writes a wickedly fun tale of non-con slavery.
Jenny is a spoiled brat who spends her daddy's money. Unfortunately for her, her daddy's fed up and sends her off for some schooling. What she doesn't know is that it's a "pony" girl school.
The scenes in here are smoking hawt. The story is tightly written with just the right outrage from the unsuspecting Jenny. The staff at the Albrecht Stables are perfect. I loved the fitting scene. It is deliciously depraved. I enjoyed every little detail. Ms. Mandara does a great job of stripping Jenny and turning her into a vulnerable little girl. Delightful!
This teasing story is just the beginning and I can't wait to read the next ones in this series. Ms. Mandara is creative and incorporates just the right amount of sexual tension. This book is recommended to kinky readers who love watching a pampered princess receive a sound spanking.

The Riding School is a pony play short, the first chapter in a series, which follows the shenanigans, exploits, and training of a spoiled rich girl, whose father is apparently super perverse, as he's sending his only daughter off to get trained in pretty outrageous circumstances.
The plot, essentially, is spoiled Jenny, born into wealth, and lazy as all getout, has made nothing of her life, her Dad is sick of it, and sends her off to the stables to be turned into an obedient, speechless filly.
Is it realistic? Oh heck no. But its pretty hot, and the scene is well done. I didn't much care for Jenny, she's your typical bratty "non-doormat" that makes its way into every story these days, but maybe with time and training, she'll become a worthwhile pet. We'll see in future installments, as this one ends before she even has her first scene with her trainer.
I liked it, for what it was, a steamy but short ride(pun intended!)

A great book pulls the reader into its world in the first few sentences because its seductive, tantalizing and very visual. C.P. Mandara’s 5 Star Read, “The Riding School (Pony Tales)” is BDSM Erotica at its finest. This pony romp generates a lot of heat and is perfect alone or paired with your own stable of toys. The minute you start reading you’ve submitted to this world and the “Scene”, much like the wealthy, arrogant, and willful Jenny. Be prepared for a book that will dominate your senses.
Jenny isn’t prepared for riding school and her shock and disbelief of the school’s very disciplined curriculum amuses her elderly, hilarious and totally delightful “guidance counselors” Agnes and Henrietta. Despite their sweet personality, these ladies are strict; they know their jobs and are certainly not to be disobeyed. Jenny’s world is turned upside down by fear coupled with uncontrollable excitement. She’s such a naughty pupil that Master Mark must take over her education. You’ll want to know about all she learns, but we’ll all have to wait for Mandara’s next book. Hurry, please.

This short story is about Jenny getting sent off to riding school. Jenny thinks she has a boring week ahead of her & is already planning on ways to skip school. Oh boy is she in for a surprise!
In this first installment, Jenny is bound, gagged, measured, & thoroughly examined. After all a young new filly does need to be properly inspected.
We also meet the very sexy Master Mark. At this point in the series we don't know much about him, but the hints that he is going to be a harsh & sadistic master are very exciting.
Overall
The focus is on the non-consensual medical kink, but there is a pet/pony play theme throughout.

Pony play is something I've been wanting to learn more about, and WOW did I choose the perfect book to start with! I loved the non-con aspect of Jennie's "training" and the trickery that got her there. She's an adorably bratty heroine and we love to see what is done to her. C.P. Mandara weaves humor and a playfulness into her erotic story with the two older gals who measure her for her gear, and ahem, examine her. Things start getting really steamy when the drool-worthy Master stops in to check on his new trainee. Cue the sexual tension and let the orgasms ensue. I have to read the rest of this series immediately. Highly recommend!

I was given this book, in exchange for an honest review. Well, this is my honest opinion. It is an absolutely fabulous story, and I can't wait for the next books! Ok, I may be slightly bias here, I have a huge thing about Pony Girl/Boy stories. Although that could have gone against this review if the book itself wasn't any good.
I absolutely love the main character, how petulant, stubborn, and bratty she is, and how Master Mark, so far, is calm and authoritarian. I can see roughly what sort of Dom he's going to turn out to be, and I'm very excited about the dynamic between them. The reasoning for her being there, wow, phenomenal! I never saw it coming, although looking back, yep, makes sense. I'm saying nothing! I love that money isn't the dominating factor of the story, ie "I'm rich, therefore you must do as I say". Which is how a lot of erotica stories are written at the moment. I'm not complaining, it's just something I've noticed !

In the spirit of kink with meticulous attention to detail combined with delicious torture, reminding me of a great Kitty Thomas novel, The Riding School left me weak in the knees and wanting more.
Jenny, the heroine, is a real character, flawed in her self-centered obstinance--this steadfast personality sets her up in a fight to the death to avoid being made to love the twisted pleasures of the pony school.
The author creates an enticing alternate universe with a huge variety of toys, torture devices, and a pony collar system--this is all before Jenny is taken to the stables.
All the characters have strong personalities and presence, even the elderly attendants assigned to "measure" Jenny, which make the book a fun and page-ripping read.
I instantly fell for Master Mark and his sense of authority (I'm wiping the sweat from my forehead). May he grace my dreams tonight!
The story is a cliffhanger, but it left me hanging in a good place--satisfied, but oh so ready for more.

*The Riding School* has been on my 'to read' list for some time, so after I'd unwrapped my shiny, new kindle at Christmas, it was the first book I downloaded! It doesn't disappoint. I love the taboo nature of the content and knew already that I'd be transfixed by the pony-play!
Jenny is set up to be the spoiled, little rich girl; easy therefore to enjoy her denigration as she arrives at the school. I would have liked to know a little more about what was going on in her head once she is naked and strapped down... How does she process the mixture of resentment, fear and arousal? ... This wasn't always clear to me. But I liked the small touches like the 'clinical' nature of her treatment and the interaction with Master Mark.
This book is really a 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed it, but the word count was unexpectedly low and for that reason only, I give it a 3 out of 5. I will definitely be checking out the next instalment in Jenny's 'training'!

This wasn't always clear to me. But I liked the small touches like the 'clinical' nature of her treatment and the interaction with Master Mark.
This book is really a 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed it, but the word count was unexpectedly low and for that reason only, I give it a 3 out of 5. I will definitely be checking out the next instalment in Jenny's 'training'!

Pony play is one of those subjects that both freaks me out and turns me on, so I jumped at the chance to review this book, which is the first part in Jenny's story. Overall, I enjoyed the story; there are plenty of squirm-worthy moments, it set the stage for the next part of the story, and for the most part it was edited well.
I was more than a little creeped out that Jenny's dad paid for her to be kidnapped, molested, beaten, and turned into a pony. Also, if you put a brand name product in the story, please make sure the brand name is spelled correctly. On the very first page, Jenny is sipping Crystal in the limo; since she's a spoiled brat, I'm assuming she's drinking Cristal champagne and not Crystal brand bottled water.

Fun-loving, rich, pampered Jenny, daughter of a millionaire oil tycoon, used to partying and lazing around, is seemingly packed off by dad to a riding school for instructor training. But this is a riding school with a difference. Employees Hetty, Agnes and Mark get to work leather-strapping her down and applying objects to her body in a most intimate manner, such that she is transformed into a bound and gagged filly ready to be ridden. And Jenny loves every second of it; she becomes a pony existing purely as the plaything of its owners, as shown in an explicit series of insertions and torments. And don't worry. This is not the end. There are further episodes of Jenny's 'training' and ecstatic reaction to come. Not to be missed.

First off, this book was much shorter than I expected because (silly me) didn't notice it is a novella. However, what it loses in length, it gains back in content. Jenny is the epitome of the spoiled rich girl, and it seems it time for her to learn a lesson.
It opens with Jenny on her way to a camp where they break horses. When she gets there, she's very rude to the employees, but that will be taken care of later. A few minutes later she realizes she's not at a normal camp, and maybe, just maybe, she's the pony that's going to get broken.
This book was actually really informative. Jenny sure doesn't have any background in it, so the author explains everything in detail. By the end of some of these explanations, I feel bad for poor little rich girl Jenny. She's been a VERY bad girl.

The Riding School was an unexpected, hot little gem! I've read some pony-play before, but I've never seen this kind of detail--I am simply salivating to know the use of each and every piece of equipment mentioned in this sizzling short. Though the heroine is unwilling, her self-absorbed attitude made me root for her captors, and Mark has me completely enthralled with his torture-by-pleasure technique. The ending left me in sultry suspense, wondering, "Where the heck is Pony Tales #2?? I need it NOW!"

This was my very first pony play book, and I really enjoyed it. The author is an excellent writer and knows how to craft a fun, sexy story. There are some parts of this book that are branded into my head, and that is just fine with me. Looking forward to reading the rest in this series!

I am continuing 2019 with my challenge I made to myself in 2018 to read new genres and stretch myself as a reader. I got this free and after reading it I am not sure how to review it. The subject matter was so far out of what I am comfortable with but at the same time the story was well constructed and I couldn't stop reading. The characters are all unique and interesting, and part of me wants to continue the series just to see what happens to Jenny.

3 stars!
This book is insane! I honestly feel confused about what I read and why I read it! The concept is unique, unusual and kinky and still I was glued! The writing of Ms. Mandara is strong. Although it's a totally crazy world with crazy hero still I needed to keep on reading. I need also to be honest that the plot part is really small on the contrary with the naughty stuff!
A negative point is the constant change of POV in the story and still the writing was good.
I will keep on reading the series as I want to know how this will go on from here.

The Riding School is book one of an in-progress work called Pony Tales. This short e-book introduces Jenny, the spoiled and ambition-less daughter of a very wealthy Englishman. Presumably to give her one very serious wake-up call, Jenny’s father has paid a great deal of money to forcibly enroll her in an intensive training course for human ponies at Albrecht Stables.
One can only speculate what sort of naughty discipline and humiliation she will endure in the following books, but this portion of Pony Tales is limited to a span of several hours during which she is prepped and outfitted for the first phase of her training. At the hands of the riding school’s staff Jenny experiences forced bondage while having each of her body cavities measured and pleasured, and suffers the humiliation of being brought to orgasm against her will in front of virtual strangers.
While this is a fun, sexy and well written read, it is annoying that it just stops before anything substantive happens. Realistically, The Riding School is chapter one of a book of indeterminate length; calling it book one is disingenuous. I am not a fan of serialized books in general, but this is ridiculous.
Why not wait until all or most of the book is written before publishing any of it? If readers like it well enough to want book two, then they can go buy it without waiting around for the author to crank out the next installment. It’s kind of hard to follow a story if too much time has passed since finishing the first installment. You may need to re-read or skim what you've already read just to keep it all straight. With that in mind, I would recommend waiting until a couple more “books” in the series have been released before purchasing this one.

OMG. OMG!
Loved this. I am officially a pony-girl story fan now. This book is clever and hot and leaves you with a big dose of WTF just happened?
"What does the paperwork say under 'status'?..."
"It says 'Subject has not been notified."
I think I damn near fell off my couch reading that bit.
The fact that Jenny doesn't catch on for a little too long that something is seriously amiss just proves what a flake she has been previously in life towards self-preservation.
I love that this is presented as a hotel though (I read book 4 first, so I was a little confused, this TOTALLY helped clear up some of the questions I had.)
Hetty & Aggie provide some rather strange comic relief. Strange, because this is all sorts of non-con, but my gosh are they enjoying themselves. Enter Mark, who I know have a better feel for and I totally like him better as a character. He is a evil sadistic little monster, but he knows it and embraces it.
Poor Jenny. She is in for quite a ride. (Pun may or may not be intended. ^_^ )

I liked the beginning of this series it had my attention. I am looking forward to her interactions with Master Mark who is hot and sexy. While this book is short and quick. I have read Christina's books before. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Mandara’s The Riding School is erotic and sensual, exploring the forbidden world of pony play. The narrative is crisp and the characters and well developed, not something that the goes hand-in-hand with many modern erotica novels.
I found myself easily absorbed into this novella, turning every page and consuming the entire book in a single session. I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment.
The central character, Jenny, is a spoiled-little-rich-thing, and the kind of character you just love to hate. But I found myself drawn to her, feeling sympathy for her trials as she is enrolled in the Albrecht Stables against her will. Agnes and Henrietta, (Jenny’s counsellors) are a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but they also add depth to the plot and contrast to Jenny’s character.
Overall, an exciting read that will leave you wanting more and imagining what happens next. Be warned: the erotica is steamy. You will be aroused, and you will be pleased.

This is a very unusual read and I loved it.
I won this book last year in a BDSM challenge, and was gifted the book by the author as a prize.
This is one of the best prizes I've won in a long time.
It's a short exciting read. I don't normally do short reads, but this is just a taster, leading me to want a whole lot more.
A rich pampered girl, is sent to a riding school by her father for training, she assumes to learn to be a trainer. In fact, she's to become the horse. We are taken through the explicit process of get measured/ fitment to serve and for her tack. She is unaware of this requirement at first, but slow realisation comes upon her. We go through each degrading process. I loved all the characters especially the two elderly ladies who do the fitments, and Mark sounds soooo hot...her new Master/ trainer.
I can't wait to see what happens next
Fantastic !!!!
