In addition to our monthly munch, The Stampede occasionally hosts play parties for stable pets, human ponies and their trainers. These parties are typically held at a private, central location, with plenty of carrots for the ponies and a light snack for trainers and spectators.

Attendance is usually a small, enthusiatic group of people. If you are interested in getting out and playing in the sun, our parties are a safe, fun place to make your debut!

Stampede Sponsored Events

Ponyplay parties hosted by The Stampede are announced on our mailing list or our Fetlife.com group and are open to members of The Stampede, their guests and members of BDSM community organizations.

2014 Northern California Fox Hunt; Upper Lake, CA Oct 17-19 2014

The Northern California Human Fox Hunt this year at beautiful Saratoga Springs, in Upper Lake, California, will provide you with an unforgettable experience that combines animal roleplay, chase and capture scenarios, BDSM play parties, and high-fetish for a weekend of fun, frolic and fantasy!

The Fox Hunt is a live-action role-playing game of wit and wile, prowess and pursuit, where a human fox (or other prey) attempts to outwit teams of human hunting dogs, ponies, hunters, handlers, and trainers in an outdoor setting. Spectators can follow closely behind to watch as the fox is routed out by the pups and chased down and cornered. The hunt frequently takes on a kinky bent where the team that captures the fox negotiates a BDSM scene symbolizing the ritualized dismemberment in the spirit of fox hunting.

The Fox Hunt celebrates diversity! ALL animal role players and trainers/owners/wranglers/friends are welcome to play or watch in this gorgeous, pristine outdoor setting. No experience is necessary. No partners are necessary – there are usually enough additional wranglers and animals to go around for everyone.

This clothing-optional venue provides a safe, sane, and consensual environment for you to romp/frolic/gallop about as you please. There is plenty of outdoor space for lunge line running, cart pulling, a huge (2400 sq ft) indoor BDSM play space, and 266 forested acres for the hunts. And remember hunters and campers, there are absolutely no clothing restrictions whatsoever. This means that you can have dinner in your finest latex cat costume, or have breakfast in your dog bowl. A fully-staffed kitchen is onsite for all of your dining needs.

The Early Bird special for Basic Registration is $189 per person. This is an ALL-INCLUSIVE package price (food, beverages, etc.) and includes camping and full use of all of the facilities (in addition to a free commemorative run-pin!). If you wish to reserve bed space, there are options available with extra costs attached. Single beds in the bunkhouse are available for the weekend at $45 extra. A limited amount of Queen-sized beds (and Queen-sized bunk beds!) are available for the weekend at $70 extra; some are in shared cabins, some are in shared rooms, and a some are available in private cabins. Please check the registration for availability. These will go FAST, so register today! Basic registration rates will go up to $199 (effective April 16, 2014) and bed prices will increase by $20.

Does your inner animal want to come out and play?

The folks who brought you the original Human Fox Hunt have once again joined up with The Stampede to provide you with an experience that combines animal roleplay, team pursuit and capture scenarios, play parties, and high-fetish for a weekend of fun and fantasy.

The Fox Hunt is a live-action role-playing game of whit and prowess where a human fox attempts to outwit teams of human hunting dogs, ponies, hunters, handlers, and trainers in an outdoor setting. Sorry, no borne animals allowed, so leave fido at home There are teams comprising human puppies, kitties, ponies and their handlers who search and capture a human fox or other prey. Spectators often follow closely behind to watch as the fox is routed out by the pups and chased down and cornered. The hunt often takes on a kinky bent where the team that captures the fox gets to negotiate a BDSM scene (often symbolizing the ritualized dismemberment of the fox in the spirit of fox hunting).

All animal role players and all trainers/owners/wranglers/friends are welcome to play or watch in this beautiful, outdoor natural setting. No experience is necessary. No partners are necessary – there are usually enough additional wranglers and animals for everyone to negotiate with to enjoy this unique experience.

This clothing optional venue provides a safe, sane, and consensual environment for you to romp/frolic/gallop about as you please. ALL ANIMAL role players are welcomed: puppies, ponies, foxes, furries, shinies, and mythical beasts!

There will be outdoor space for lunge line running, cart pulling, an indoor BDSM play space, and a large forested area for the hunts.
We will also have a sheltered outdoor padded area for puppy and other animal play. called the puppy dome, right next to the dungeon.

In the evening, relax by the campfire, in center camp, a short walk from the dungeon, and puppy-dome, and you tent or RV if you are camping with us! We have an entire section of the resort set aside for our own group camp, complete with level parking pads for RV's with power hookups, and a grassy level area for tent camping, around the edge of the meadow we will use for cart pulling, lunge line, and our center camp fire pit.

We have set up a Fetlife event page for additional details
