- Fort Lauderdale Update 😔
- Folsom weekend Events.
- Furniture for a potential Vancouver Canada event.
- Las Vegas Events Ticket info.
- Future events.
1. Fort Lauderdale Update 😔
We have some unfortunate news regarding our upcoming Fort Lauderdale events.
We had everything booked with the manager of the venue but, yesterday, he asked if we could jump on a quick call as the upper management wanted to go over some final questions. After this final business call with the manager and their upper management, it turns out we won’t be able to hold Horse Market there as planned. We intended to host two events that weekend to avoid financial losses and we were under the impression that this would be the case, but, after speaking with them, they said that two days are not possible. (Though they previously asked us to move the dates to a Saturday and Sunday.)
This venue is not typically used for sex-related events, and it’s already a risk for them to host one, let alone two so we understand where they are coming from but this information would have been better to have been known up front. After thorough discussion, we’ve decided it’s best to postpone the event until we can find a more suitable venue—one that fits our layout needs, can accommodate us for two days, and is open to hosting us on a semi-regular basis.
In the meantime, we will continue holding our events in other cities and will keep searching for appropriate venues in the Fort Lauderdale area. If you know of any spaces that are NOT 321 Slammer, LeatherWerks, or The Manor, please let us know. Perhaps someone with a large home or warehouse or a large gym/dance studio and plenty of space? 😛
We sincerely apologize to anyone who has already purchased flights or booked accommodations for this event. We, too, had our flights and accommodations booked, and now we had to cancel, incurring personal losses.
Additionally, we had arranged to borrow a lot of pieces of furniture for the event, and we hope everyone will allow us to use them in the future when we secure a suitable venue. A big thank you to all of those willing to help with the furniture.
2. Folsom weekend Events.
We need volunteers for all three events!
As with all previous Folsom weekend events, we expect these events to sell out. We currently have over 300 Mare lotto sign ups and Stallion tickets are selling and will sell out. There are still some left for both Friday and Saturday but dont expect them to last forever! (Remember you can be in the Mare lotto and also have a Stallion ticket. If we draw your name in the lotto we will swap your ticket to a Mare!)
The same goes for our Sunday event. We can accommodate MANY more people than a regular Horse Market but this event usually sells out much closer to the event. This event there is no Mare lotto but you can still get that blindfolded Mare experience in our Mini Horse Market Stable we create in the venue.
This Sunday event is the perfect event to fit in the time between the Street Fair and the big events starting late at night! Come take a load off and play here before your big all nighter dance party.
As we said at the top, we have plenty of volunteer spots for all days but especially for Sunday.
We know Sunday is the fair which makes it a little hard to get volunteers for that day but we would love the help if you’re free. You get plenty of breaks to play and we bring in food for all volunteers. Lastly you get a free ticket to a future event as a Mare or Stallion. If you want to volunteer or get a ticket, check the events below!
3. Furniture for a potential Vancouver Canada event.
Will you join a potential Vancouver Canada event? What about furniture?
We recently saw a Venue in Vancouver that would work for us - and unlike the one in FLL, this is a venue that has had sex events in the past.
We still have questions if Canada and Vancouver will work out for us - so please fill out this little survey and help us to see if it is feasible for us to go ahead with a Vancouver event.
We mainly need to know if you would join, if you live in the area, and, have any furniture we could borrow for 2 days.
We don't think we could pass the border with the furniture we have here in Portland so we need stuff from you! If you think you have something we could use, fill out this form below!
4. Las Vegas Event Ticket info.
Nov 1st and Nov 2nd Las Vegas Tickets go on sale Thursday at 6 pm PST
We figured since we have the dates set, and we have been here many times already, why not open up tickets extra early for these events. We know you are hungry for it so we will open up Mare registration and Stallion Ticket sale for our cozy Las Vegas Club Edition Events Thursday at 6 PM PST.
Of course we need Volunteers as well - so please do not hold back with your application for a fun and special night in Las Vegas on November 1st and 2nd!
4. Future events
- December 8th Portland, Oregon. (Tickets on sale at a later date)
- Dec 13th and 14th San Francisco. (Tickets on sale at a later date)
This is it for today - but we do not want to leave without a reminder to get tested regularly and if you haven't looked into this, please educate yourself: mPox or Monkeypox, is on the rise in parts of the world and the World Health Organization has set a higher level of warning for it. Please make sure you are doing everything you can to protect yourself. Our friends at the San Francisco Aids Foundation and other free health clinics throughout the US are there to support you with this if you are not comfortable talking to your doctor. Here are some basic informations:

And we are excited to let you know the Stable Master is working on a couple very special sets of enamel pins. Something new that we have not done yet but I am sure you will all love and be excited for. Ill give a hint, there will be Golden Mare/Stallion Tickets involved somehow… Until that is ready check out the Horse Market Merch store!
