Over the next four months a routine settled in as Deborah spent at least two half days a week at the ranch and relished the training of Stoney and her part in it. She became more adapted at handling him and enthusiastically participated in all aspects of grooming convincing herself that she needed to know these things as a responsible pony owner. Humorously she thought, "If my friends could see me right now they would be shocked!" at such moments as providing the wash down of Stoney and sometimes Butter. Stoney's cock was of coursed locked back but frequently was slightly engorged from being handled and he tried to banish thoughts of his cock from his mind because it was still somewhat a mystery. It had taken days for the shock to wear off from the vet's initial visit before he really could think about what was down there? He could feel something metal around his balls but the collar prevented much of any visual inspection and certainly with his hands closed off a physical inspection was out of the question too. The barns and ranch buildings where the ponies were kept were not equipped with mirrors so ponies could only look at others and guess about themselves. On the vet's second visit the physical handling was humiliating and then he felt his cock pulled back and somehow locked down to his ball sack which was how he was kept from then on. His piss stream went down and slightly rearward so he learned to spread his legs wider to avoid most of the moisture hitting his legs.

Butter understood that what had been done to her was permanent and that hopes of rescue were dim at best as these people knew how to control ponies. After her breaking, time in the corral with the brood mare herd was her favorite time of the day, if you could envision having good moments as a pony. When it was confirmed that her talking days were over she was only bitted during exercise and thus began to learn pony communication. The other mares demonstrated communication with each other through grunts, mewing, snorts, and animal hoarse noises to show their moods and emotions. Butter learned physical pony posture stances that also communicated unspoken things and gradually she adopted this type communication as she wanted some assurance from the herd. As Butter increased this pony behavior she was included in the pony discussion and accepted into the herd. The other mares recognized what she was going through and tried to be of comfort because they, the herd, were all they had left in losing their humanity.

After being taken as a pony Butter's period had only partially materialize due to the stress but after two months it was noticed that her regular flow had started by the male groom. He closed tied her to a corral railing and went and retrieved a wet wipe and tampon then deftly, and without warning, lifted Butter's tail wiped her and inserted the tampon with the string hanging out. Butter whined at this treatment, her eyes bugged out, and too late she tried to get away from his touch. The grooms, the males and other females, had touched her vagina daily during wash down and she barely controlled herself then because emotionally the invasion of physical privacy was still too much to bear. The cane had taught her to keep still and submissively accept all handling and grooming, and now her period had started and "they were in control of that too!" Importantly for ranch records they would now start keeping track of her cycle and begin to determine when ovulation would occur.

Deborah spent no time with Dickie and when she saw him the hate welled over her so all of the ranch personnel tried to prevent contact as much as possible. Sheldon had instructed they treat Deborah with high client status because he hoped the relationship would be long and profitable. He had squander most of his inheritance and with no employable skills, other than pony management, needed the ranch to be as profitable as possible. So time went by slowly for the ponies but it flew by for Deborah so that at the end of three months all were aware of their full roles with one exception.

On a nice summer day Deborah arrived on schedule after lunch with the intent to conduct buggy training on Stoney. A few weeks earlier they began training with him pulling a light weight buggy while she was the taught to control him with the reins and take him on circuit in the largest corral. Afterwards she would participate as a groom and take both Butter and Stoney for their afternoon feed, watering, and wash down. This would be done individually as they were in different herds and Deborah did not have the confidence yet to handle two ponies simultaneously. So the afternoon was planned in her mind but on arrival Sheldon was on the veranda and his posture said they needed to have a discussion. He barely said good day before getting directly to the matter and presented her with an interesting business decision. The day before a lady friend, Elaine, from the equine community was over looking for two new male ponies to work as draft animals on her farm. She had noticed Stoney and before Sheldon could say another word Deborah blurted out, "he's not for sale"! Sheldon smiled and said he completely agreed that better things could be done with that pony but in wandering around the corrals his friend had noticed Dickie and another pony that were more in her price range for her intentions. Somewhat mollified Deborah relaxed and asked for details. Sheldon explained that a good draft male pony with 10 - 15 good years of work left should fetch around $7,000 which did not impress Deborah much but the explanation that her intention of justice had been served why pay for boarding and vet bills. Then the real bombshell, Elaine would pay another $1000 premium if Dickie was castrated before the sale was final. Elaine preferred geldings from experience working the farm and by making a successful castration contingent before sale ensured no post sale problems.

Deborah thought a long moment and then asked, "and when will the vet be visiting"? Sheldon explained that Dr. Bob was already here working on the other pony that Elaine wanted and that Sheldon had agreed to sell. The castration could be done in an hour after the vet finished with the other pony and as soon as cleared by the vet both ponies would be transported to next part of their pony life. Deborah did not hesitate and said, "ok draw up whatever documents we need to make the transaction happen, and you have my permission to castrate Dickie". Taking a long deep breath she relished what she had just ordered and now she would be free of having to see the scumbag ever again. Then as she turned to leave and head over to exercise Stoney there was Jo stepping up onto the veranda with a sly smile on her face and stated she had news about Butter --- "we think she is in season".

Over the last couple of months Butter's cycle had been tracked and consulting the tables Rhonda and Jo suspected that today and tomorrow Butter would possibly be ovulating. This morning they taken Butter's temperature with an ear thermometer that quickly provided a readout that her temp was slightly up which is an indication she was ready. So now another big decision for Deborah as it was understood that Butter was going to be breed for profit but it had slipped her mind and she said, "Ok so what do we do, when, uh...?" Sheldon interjected that first a stallion needed to be selected, "and I have a very good one but the stud fee is $5000 but you Mrs. Whittingham have a potential stallion so why don't you have us give him a tryout?" Deborah somewhat nonplused turned her head several times from Jo to Sheldon before she finally thought, "hey he's a pony, an animal, mine .... And this should be interesting!" Barely containing her excitement Deborah said, "Let's do this!"

It might be considered illogical on Sheldon's part to so easily forego the stud fee for Wacko servicing Butter but the long range strategy was to entice Deborah to be fully immersed into being a pony owner and of course this would bring greater profits to the ranch. She seemed to be embracing pony ownership and Sheldon, with the grooms and trainers help, would ensure it became important in her life.

Twenty minutes later Stoney was taken from his herd of geldings and milkers to one of the brood mare corrals --- the one containing Butter. This was the herd he was initially with for a short time, but he had always been long leashed in the center of the corral until his cock became locked down, and few days after that taken to another herd for more strenuous conditioning. Rhonda led him into the corral and unclipped his leash and swatted his rump prompting him to move further in and then left closing the gate behind him. Jo and Deborah were waiting as she climbed to the second level of the barn where they sat back in the shadows out of sight from the herd below to observe if things would progress. Stoney looked around noting the herd and his pony instinct said move to the herd and greet them so at a fast walk he headed in their direction. The herd of five brood mares instantly bunched close together and began moving at a direction 90 degrees from Stoney's course which behavior confused him but he adjusted to intercept. The herd made a sharp reversal of course but Stoney instinctively adjusted also and continued to close with the herd until he was trotting in parallel with them. The motion of the mares, both individually and as a group, triggered something in Stoney and he was intent on nothing but them. This went on for several minutes and the mares seemed determined to try and get away from Stoney who for his part was just as intent to move them from one side of the corral to the next. Finally, at one turn one of the mares stumbled slightly taking her out of the bunch for a moment while she regained her balance and Stoney was instantly between her and the herd. Butter made a break to return to the herd but he shielded her off with his speed and size, then began driving her further away from the herd to the other side of the corral until she was completely cut off from the herd. No matter what move she made he was there and she was obviously frightened and thinking, "what is wrong with this pony, why is he doing this?"

Stoney maintained physical control over his single mare harem for several minutes never letting her return to the herd. Butter's mind raced and finally she decided "maybe if I slow down it will calm him and we can work something out", so she slowed as did he and they paced the side of the corral with her essentially penned next to the railing. She tried to take stock of his mood and while she sensed his physical intensity she did not know what it meant. Visually she stole glances at him and noted how large and conditioned he was and thought, "he is one big strong pony, why is he so interested in me?" Then he bumped her slightly from just behind her shoulder and the physical contact was electrifying to her sending an emotional shudder down her entire body and she stopped. He started to nuzzle her with his nose and pushed the rest of his body against her which she did not resist as she lost herself in the feelings. This went on for several moments and neither pony saw Rhonda, Jo, and the male groom until they felt themselves being leashed and led to the gate where Deborah held it open and would shut once they were out. Stoney was led to a low four foot anchored pole and his leashed tied off by the male groom and Butter was led to the railing and suddenly she remember seeing Brandy at this same railing and started to resist but her leash was already being pulled over by Rhonda. In moments Butter was leaning over the railing at her mid section unable to pull back and a leather strap over lower back held her close to the railing.

At Stoney the male groom kneeled on one knee and reaching for the locking ring released Stoney's cock and with his hand pulled it out to full length. This cock release did half registered on Stoney who was intently eyeing Butter, her movements especially the way she swayed her rump slightly, and he could feel her tension and fear. He felt his cock being pulled out, the first time in four months, and then the groom gave him some light taps on the underside of the glands that he responded to. Rhonda came over and together she and the male groom would handle him because they did not know how he would respond so the more control the better. Taking Stoney by the arms they moved him towards the front of Butter so that they could see each other and then they began to slowly circle him around her bent over the railing. After the first complete circle his cock was fully erect and once again it was noted that he had very good length and an excellent large wide girth. On the second circle he was rock hard and ready with a stallion's posture and animal grunting. Butter herself was mesmerized by the spectacle Stoney presented and felt her body responding - but then had a human thought "I'm about to be mounted by this stallion!" On the third circle around Butter, Jo lifted her tail and noted the lips were wide open and there was plenty of lubricant available so nodded to the two holding Stoney and they began positioning him behind the mare. They did not have to push him forward, but they did have to control how he closed with her as they wanted the first thrust to be positive into her, but they did not want an out of control ram that might hurt her. Jo held Butter's tail over to one side of her rump while Stoney's cock was positioned just inches from Butters vagina and with a release of pressure holding him back he thrust into her and held for a moment. Butter let out a husky grunt and then a high pitched whinny while Stoney then began rhythmically and aggressively thrusting into her. He held no human emotions or feelings just an uncontrollable male animal urge "to take this mare".

It took about three minutes before Stoney thrust powerfully into Butter pushing his cock all the way into her where it touched her cervix and shot globs of semen in her. Rhonda and the male groom, realizing he was ejaculating, pushed on Stoney's lower back as the intent was to make sure as much sperm was deposited at the cervix as possible. Of course, Stoney held the position enjoying the sensations until finally he was fully spent and he was allowed to step back where his cock flopped out covered in the mare's juices and semen dripped from the end. Deborah watched the whole thing from 15 feet away and understood what happen but was still confusingly intrigue thinking, "My God that this is the way ponies fuck! My ponies just bred!"

The male groom led Stoney away and did not allow him to linger as he was taken for a quick cock wash and then re-lock of his cock and watering. Stallions always wanted more of the mares, understandably going several weeks between use, so the sooner the stallion was back under control the less crazy they were. Rhonda and Jo professionally discussed how it went and agreed that assuming everything was working biologically they had a good chance that Butter would be in foal. Then Jo motioned to Deborah to come over and made a hand patting motion over Butter's rump indicating some positive reinforcement was due. So Deborah patted and rubbed Butter's rump for a few minutes and hummingly voiced "what a good mare for your first time, good pony girl good pony girl". Internally Butter was emotionally unhinged swinging from human thoughts to pony thoughts, "I've just been raped - fucked!, I've just been serviced, covered, and mounted by a stallion, no no no no!, oh was that what I wanted!? Could it be!? I wanted that stallion - I accepted him?!?!?!" Butter was left at the railing for an hour while it was hoped that one of the lucky sperm was finding a healthy egg and fertilizing it.

Stoney for his part was a bit crazy and a bit rambunctious with the male groom while being led by his leash. His pony stallion blood and excitement was up while his cock stayed partially erect enjoying its unlocked state as it swayed from side to side matching his strides. With his leash tied off the groom washed down and cleaned the cock thoroughly which caused it to become erect again having been locked and controlled for four months it strained out in its freedom. Realizing that the cock would stay erect and be difficult to lock down the groom retrieved an ice cube from the barn refrigerator and applied it over the cock and balls causing a deflation to occur, as well as a "snort" of indignation from Stoney. Then without preamble the groom pushed the cock back to the ring, pulled the locking ring out of his shirt pocket, threaded it through the piercing ring and scrotum ring and locked it taking the pony's cock back under control. Standing the groom untied the leash and leading Stoney to his stall praised him, "good pony, I guess you have some stallion in you and we will see in a few weeks how you did so there might be more mares to mount in the future."

Rhonda and Jo were quite pleased with themselves and congratulated each other on how well they had brought these two ponies along. Four months ago they were free human beings going about their lives moving in society individuals. Then they had been professionally captured, transitioned to pony status, broken to harness, and transformed into a brood mare for Butter and potential stallion for Stoney. The future for both ponies was irrevocable as animals and they would never return to human status.

After an hour in his stall Stoney calmed down and his human thoughts were astonished at how he had reacted and what he had done. "I'm no rapist but what did I just do? I took that mare and fucked her without any hesitation and hard --- plus she seemed to want it too?" Later his mood changed and his pony stallion thoughts returned which caused his cock to swell in its locked condition and became uncomfortable as he replayed the scene and hoped to repeat it. "Sorry pony girls but when this cock is unlocked I'm taking and covering you - that is what I'm supposed to do!"

Since exercising Stoney was now a moot point all the women headed to the veranda for some refreshments and once seated with ice teas Deborah asked some questions about how to judge a successful breeding. Jo led the discussion and explained that they could not yet promote that Stoney was proven until he successfully impregnated a few mares, and success for Butter would not be judged until she was successfully breed and dropped a live healthy foal. Real success was judged in nine months and profitable success after a series of two to three good breedings. That said they all thought it had gone well, Stoney had responded as a stallion in the corral, and certainly once presented to the mare, and Butter had taken being covered and mounted by a stallion in a normal pony girl manner. Deborah voiced how proud she was of her ponies but then her voice trailed off as she looked out into the large yard and saw Dickie being led from a corral toward the barn where Dr. Bob's van was parked.
