Welcome to the newly designed Frequently Asked Questions page!
We divided the Questions into separate sections - hopefully, this will make it easier for you to find the answer.
Each section has a search bar - keep in mind it only searches the segment, not all of the FAQs. But if you are on a PC, you can press CTRL + F on your keyboard, and on Mac, Command + F to search the page for keywords.
You can quick jump to a FAQ section here:
Event & Ticket Questions
I have a ticket credit (previous cancellation due to STI, pandemic-postponed event, past StableHand, past Best in Show winner). How do I redeem it for a future party?
We call these Tickets "Saved Tickets", "BIS Ticket" or "Earned Tickets" when it is a StableHand Voucher, and it is easy to turn them into real live Tickets: when tickets for an event go on sale:
- Fill out the registration/waiver for that particular event.
- Mail or DM us with the email that was used for the saved Ticket, or reply to the saved ticket email (you must get the ticket role that your original credit was for).
- Make sure that you send this information very close to the start of the sales, since there are only a limited number of tickets reserved.
How do I get a ticket to the party?
Can I purchase a ticket at the door?
Yes and No: We don't save any tickets to sell at the door, but we do have no-shows for Mares and Stallions. We also have people who cancel at the last minute. In that case, if we want to replace those tickets, we may sell them at the door (via Cash, Credit Card, Venmo, or PayPal).
This is ONLY if there is room. This is not guaranteed. If you do want to try, follow these steps:
- Fill out the waiver form on the ticket page for the event you want to attend before you arrive. If you are a Mare/Bottom, you need to be in the lottery at least 24 hours before the event.
- As a Stallion/Top, you also need to be registered. If you have pre-signed the waiver, we can let you in — and yes, we do check! You do not need to bring a copy to the door; we will verify it via your email.
- First there, first in! Show up as early as the regular check-in time. Let the Role Guard (our volunteer at the door) know you're there so he can note your place in line. Then, return to the end of the line. Be back 10–15 minutes before doors close for your role. If we have space, we will sell you a ticket.
(See arrival times for Mares and Stallions in the event listing, or request the address/times a day before the event via email [email protected] or t.me/pigload.)
Also: If you go to the front early, we will send you to the back. Please don’t!
- Once you’ve completed the above, and if we have an opening, we’ll sell you a ticket.
Do I have to arrive on time to check in for a Mare or Stallion?
What if I show up late?
Because of the nature of the event, you have to show up on time. If you cannot make it due to traffic, work, etc., try to arrive as soon as possible. There is no guarantee that you will be let in after the posted door time.
You can try sending us an email if you know you’ll be late, but we may not be able to read emails during or right before the event. If we do see it in time, we’ll notify the check-in desk about your late arrival.
And a side note: on the day of the event, there are no refunds for no-shows or cancellations.
THE xChange Guarantee how is that working?
Part A - Signup
• Sign up and select the MARE Role in your application.
• However, purchase a Stallion ticket when you reach the ticket site.
Part B - xChanging
The databases of purchased tickets and the lottery are not connected, so we do not know who bought a ticket in what role.
• If you have been randomly chosen in the lottery, you will receive a „winners email,” and you will need to reply that you have already purchased a ticket. Normally, the tickets are of equal value; if not (in case a sponsor contributes to part of the Stallion tickets, etc.), you would simply need to pay the difference, and we can switch you to a Mare.
• If you are not chosen in the lottery, you can also inquire at the venue on the day of the event about switching roles. Approach the entrance for your ticket (in this case, the Stallions entrance) and inform the StableHands that you would like to switch if possible. You would then need to return to the end of the line — DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CHECKED IN, as after check-in, we cannot xChange. IF – and that is always a big IF – there are enough Stallions to show and more no-shows on the Mare side, we MIGHT change you over. To be honest, the xChange on-site is rare – it has happened, but it is infrequent.
What is a "Fresh Meat Market"?
Fresh Meat has nothing to do with age!
Fresh Meat Market means that only Mares who have never participated as a Mare in a HorseMarket event before will be eligible for the lottery.
Does this mean you will never see a hole you have seen before?
We honor special Tickets like Golden Tickets or Saved Tickets if we need to fill up spaces that are at risk of no-show (like last-minute cancelations). But we keep those to a minimum so our Stallions know there will be a lot of Mares that have never seen the inside of a Stable!
I am versatile - can I change roles or what would be the best role for me?
The best role for versatile people is the volunteer position we call StableHand. They get to take breaks (when it permits), and they can be a Mare, a Stallion, or take multiple breaks to do both roles!
Pretty cool, ha? Do you want to apply?
The moment tickets go on sale, the application form opens up for that particular Market as well.
Will there be lube and condoms provided at the party?
Yes! We will have condoms and Lube from our sponsor PigLoad Lube.
Can I get alcohol at the event?
HorseMarket is proud to be a sober-friendly — no drug – no alcohol — event.
There will not be alcohol unless it is held at a venue that sells alcohol, which we will let everybody know beforehand.
Is this an 18+ or 21+ age party?
HorseMarket welcomes every self-identifying man who is of legal age in the state where the event is held.
We also respect the rules and choices of the venue. When purchasing tickets, they will clearly state whether the event is 18+ or 21+. If you have any questions, feel free to
email us for clarification.
How can I become a volunteer (Stable Hand) and what does it all entail?
Our dedicated HorseMarket volunteers are called StableHands.
When tickets go on sale for each HorseMarket event, there is a separate link to fill out a short application to become a StableHand. During your shifts, you help with every part of the event — setup, walking the Stable, and takedown. We are looking for volunteers who are willing and able to work the full event.
It sounds like a lot of work — and it is!
But you can ask any of our over 3,000 volunteers (and counting) who have already participated: the time in the Stable flies by and is a lot of fun (though yes, it’s also a lot of work!). I deeply appreciate the effort my team puts in, and when the work is successfully completed, you will receive:
- A free ticket credit to a future HorseMarket event of your choice
- And some exclusive items that you can only get through volunteering
StableHands are led by the StableWrangler.
When evaluating applications, he considers all skills and mixes veteran StableHands with newcomers. The StableHands will then be trained both online and even more extensively onsite.
Can I play during my shift if I'm a volunteer? What about after? Would I be using my free ticket I get for volunteering if I want to play after?
Yes, you can play before, during, and after your shift. During the Live Orientation, the StableWrangler will explain how to manage your time between volunteering and playing. There are strict rules to follow — keep in mind your work, and you will get a free ticket for a future event when you do good work.
Please note: Some people have misunderstood that the free ticket earned through volunteering allows them to attend the event they are working at. However, the free ticket is for a future event and is not for the event you are currently volunteering at 🙂
Additionally, if it's a multi-day event (e.g., 2 or 3 days), the free ticket cannot be used for another day within that same set of events.
Spots for earned tickets per event are limited, so if you plan to use your earned ticket, email the
StableWrangler
as early as possible to secure your spot.
I am sure there is a dress code?
Depending on the time of year and the city, the venue can either get quite hot with everyone active or be slightly chilly. Ideally, wear as little as possible for ease of access. I always provide a free coat check at all my events. Leather harnesses, jockstraps, or being naked are strongly encouraged. However, shoes or boots are a must — no bare feet allowed.
What do I need to know about Maximum Impact?

Sorry, the rules about that are pretty clear and straightforward: you cannot bring Maximum Impact to the event.
For more information on the risks associated with recreational inhalants, please read this
informative article.
I see you take pictures for Best In Show Stallion and Mare. Do I have to take my photo?
HorseMarket does not allow phones on the floor (except for the StableWrangler and our Medics).
The pictures taken during check-in are only for the
Best in Show Contest (BIS).
You do not have to get your photo taken, but it would be nice for the Stallions (who vote for the BIS Mare) or StableHands (who vote for the BIS Stallions).
No faces will be visible, and if you have distinctive tattoos, we can take a picture without them visible.
If you get a picture taken and win the Best in Show Award, you will receive:
- A free ticket to a future event
- A free special T-shirt that identifies you as BIS Winner
- A $25 GiftCard from PigLoad
- And the winning Mare receives a huge dildo from SquarePeg Toys!
We only use the pictures of the Best in Show winners and promote them on our website — all other pictures will not be used or published.
I heard there might be TransMan at the HorseMarket - I have never played with a TransMan before. Do you have any resources I can read up on about it?
We do have some resources you can look into. I spoke with a trans man, and he suggested adding some resources for cis men to read up on to make the experience better for both you and the trans man.
Here are some helpful links:
Can I leave anytime or do I have to wait for the event to be over?
You can leave at any time. If you are a Mare, simply raise your arm and signal a StableHand to let them know you are ready to leave.
As a Stallion, we highly encourage you to stay as long as possible. We understand that some Stallions are a "one-time and done" kind of guy. However, please respect that the Mares have prepared for a long session in the Stable. Consider keeping that first load in and continuing to play before you finish. Alternatively, after finishing, stay around and help other Stallions keep the energy alive in the Stable.

Mare – Bottom Questions
Do you have any tips on how to best clean out for the event?
EveryBODY is different – but here are answers from Mares:
– “On heavy play days like an HM: eat light the evening before/day of, and lots of fiber for days before. The day of, a couple of hours before, a deep clean out using my shower shot enema setup (in my experience, bulbs are only good for a quick clean out followed by immediate short-term play). Deep cleaning takes some time, and I use a toy to ensure everything is good to go. Chill for an hour and revisit the shower before I leave — just to make sure everything has settled out (including clean-out water). Good to go and deep play for hours.”
– “In truth, it’s trial and error with your gut. Metamucil is key for me, and I usually fast for 8–10 hours before a big event. Then, a couple of hours before, I will have a meal, nothing too heavy, a sandwich or such. That does two things: when you eat, it stimulates your colon, so that meal can help with your final cleanout. And also, never go into a long sex event starving. You will be weak and won’t perform well. With the 8–10 hrs fast, for me, that usually guarantees that my last meal comes out, so I know I have a long window of pristine playground.”

How does your xChange Gurantee works (Switching from Stallion to Mare)
Part A - Signup
• Sign up and select the MARE Role in your application.
• However, purchase a Stallion ticket when you reach the ticket site.
Part B - xChanging
The databases of purchased tickets and the lottery are not connected, so we do not know who bought a ticket in what role.
• If you have been randomly chosen in the lottery, you will receive a „winners email,” and you will need to reply that you have already purchased a ticket. Normally, the tickets are of equal value; if not (in case a sponsor contributes to part of the Stallion tickets, etc.), you would simply need to pay the difference, and we can switch you to a Mare.
• If you are not chosen in the lottery, you can also inquire at the venue on the day of the event about switching roles. Approach the entrance for your ticket (in this case, the Stallions entrance) and inform the StableHands that you would like to switch if possible. You would then need to return to the end of the line — DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CHECKED IN, as after check-in, we cannot xChange. IF – and that is always a big IF – there are enough Stallions to show and more no-shows on the Mare side, we MIGHT change you over. To be honest, the xChange on-site is rare – it has happened, but it is infrequent.
I heard there is a chance to get Tickets at the door for replacing no shows?
And that is correct!
At every event, we have one or more no-shows.
Keep in mind: sometimes it balances out, since Stallions also don’t show up.
But if the ratio is off, or if we have extra space to fill on the Mare side, we may need to replace no-shows.
You need to be in the lottery for more than 24 hours to qualify — we will check when we sell you your ticket. If you haven’t been in the lottery long enough at that point, we’ll move on to the next person in line.
- Check in as early as possible — it’s always first come, first served. Check the website or ask about the check-in timeframe for your event.
- Let the Role Guard (our volunteer at the entrance or outside) know that you're there for a no-show replacement ticket (if available). He may take your phone number so you can wait elsewhere for a callback, or you can stay at the end of the line — but you must let everyone with a ticket go in before you.
- Only after the check-in window ends can we evaluate whether replacements are needed — based on who checked in from the Stallion and Mare sides. We’ll contact people on a first-in, first-out basis — by text or in person.
If the venue address isn’t published online for security reasons, feel free to email us a day before the event to request it:
[email protected]
As always, there is no guarantee that you will get in — you have to decide for yourself if it’s worth the time.
If I am in a white hood how can you be sure someone wont fuck me without a condom?
This responsibility is split between you and The StableHands. We will be keeping an eye on you, but we have many Mares to look after and can’t always be there to ensure that each Stallion is using a condom. That is where you need to step in.
We instruct all Stallions to touch a Mare to signal they are about to mount and NOT just walk up and shove it in. It is up to you to reach back and feel for a condom during that time. We will have plenty of condoms available throughout the venue.
If a Stallion is found fucking a white-hooded Mare without a condom, they will be thrown out and banned from attending — at the discretion of the StableWranglers.
What is the dress code?
Depending on the time of year and the city, the venue can either get quite hot with everyone active or be slightly chilly. Ideally, wear as little as possible for ease of access. I always provide a free coat check at all my events. Leather harnesses, jockstraps, or being naked are strongly encouraged. However, shoes or boots are a must — no bare feet allowed.
I want to bring Maximum Impact

Sorry, the rules about that are pretty clear and straightforward: you cannot bring Maximum Impact to the event.

Can a Mare wear a Chasity device?
Yes, they can.
Can a Mare wear Gear - like a puppy hood any of my play gear to get into that head space?
Yes, they can. Our Hood has to be taken on first, and then the gear hood. Keep in mind that it can get very hot under two hoods — so you might want to make sure to get good circulation under the hood — or take yours off. Our StableHands will help you with that if needed. Raise your arm and we are there!
Can a Mare play with themselves while waiting for a Stallion or if a Stallion is using the Mare?
Yes, they can. They can play with themselves and/or cum if they like.
Are Trans men welcome at HorseMarket? (FTM)
Very much so! Please come. If you are a trans man and are interested in attending as a Mare, you do not have to reveal yourself as an FTM.
But email me if you have any questions. Also, I recommend approaching me (the StableWrangler) at the event after you are checked in and processed (number written, picture taken) to make sure you get the most out of it and that your boundaries (if any) are respected.
I'm not a young twink or muscle body, will I still get some action as a Mare?
All shapes, sizes, skin colors, heritage, races, and ages are welcome at HorseMarket parties. But keep in mind every event and city is different, with different Stallions and Mares, so there is no way of knowing who will get to play and who will not. We cannot direct Stallions on who to play with.
Please be mindful that it may take a few minutes for the event to get going. Stallions need time to arrive, get undressed, and make their way onto the floor.
Since Mares are blindfolded, Stallions are not confined to their regular "corner" and may explore more freely, even if it’s not their usual preference. However, there is no guarantee how much fun you will have.
Can I leave anytime or do I have to wait for the event to be over
You can leave at any time. If you are a Mare, simply raise your arm and signal a StableHand to let them know you are ready to leave.
I'm worried I won't be able to take as much cock as other Mares. Do Mares ever tap out/take a break?
They do! You can always signal to take a break in the break area we have set up, which is out of view of the Stallions.
As a blindfolded Mare can I ask to be moved to a different area?
You sure can! You can signal to a StableHand and ask to be moved or placed elsewhere. Of course, we have to check if there is a different space available. Sometimes it might even be the same furniture, but since the Stable layout is always different, a new position might be a good idea.
Our StableHands might also ask you if you would be ready to move to a different spot. There are two reasons for this:
- We share the furniture, and if there is only a small amount of slings, for example, we want to ensure everyone gets a chance to spend some time in one.
- Sometimes, we notice an open spot and think it might be a good fit for you.
Trust our judgment, and if we offer you a different spot, consider whether you're in the mood for a change.
Can a Mare be DP'd or taken turns on with 2 Stallions?
Oh yes! A Stallion can take turns, engage in DP (double penetration), or spit roast a Mare. We ask them to communicate with you and ask if you are interested in sucking cock, as some may not want to. Similarly, if they want to engage in DP, they have to ask for your consent first. But it would never work without your support anyway, lol!
The only things not allowed are WS (watersports) and fisting! And keep in mind: RAISE YOUR ARM if you are ever not feeling comfortable or safe!
What do the hood colors mean, and which one do I choose?
Mares wear a specific HorseMarket-created cloth hood that covers their hair and eyes while playing at the HorseMarket. A white hood means that Stallions MUST use a condom to mount you, while a red hood means Stallions can choose to mount you with or without a condom. Most red-hooded Mares are usually mounted bareback, but it is still each Stallion’s choice whether to wear a condom at their discretion (not yours!).
Which hood to choose? That’s entirely up to each Mare and is based on personal preference and health choices. However, a Mare CAN change their hood color during the party if desired. Simply notify a StableHand, and they will assist you.

I am a FTM am I welcome at HorseMarket?
Very much so! Please come. If you are a trans man and are interested in attending as a Mare, you do not have to reveal yourself as an FTM.

Can I leave anytime or do I have to wait for the event to be over?
You can leave at any time. As a Stallion, I want to ask you not to leave after the first load. Just watch the Stable for a while and maybe that will help other Stallions to be more active — keep in mind the Mares have had their work done for all of you!
I want to DP a Mare or taken turns on with 2 Stallions
Oh yes! A Stallion can take turns, engage in DP (double penetration), or spit-roast a Mare. We ask you to communicate clearly with the Mare you're interested in. Also, please ask if you want your cock sucked before attempting anything — some may not want to.
The only things not allowed are WS (watersports) and fisting.
What do the hood colors mean?
Mares wear a specific HorseMarket-created cloth hood that covers their hair and eyes while playing at the HorseMarket. A white hood means that Stallions MUST use a condom to mount a Mare, while a red hood means "everything goes*" and you can choose to mount the Mare with or without a condom. Most red-hooded Mares are usually mounted bareback, but it is still each Stallion’s choice whether to wear a condom at their discretion (not the Mare’s!).
Which hood to choose? That’s entirely up to each Mare and is based on personal preference and health choices. However, a Mare CAN change their hood color during the party if desired.
* no WaterSports or Fisting
StableHand – Volunteer FAQ
How can I volunteer, and what does it entail?
Our dedicated HorseMarket volunteers are called StableHands.
When tickets go on sale for each HorseMarket event, there is a separate link to fill out a short application to become a StableHand. During your shifts, you help with every part of the event — setup, walking the Stable, and takedown. We are looking for volunteers who are willing and able to work the full event.
It sounds like a lot of work — and it is!
But you can ask any of our over 3,000 volunteers (and counting) who have already participated: the time in the Stable flies by and is a lot of fun (though yes, it’s also a lot of work!). I deeply appreciate the effort my team puts in, and when the work is successfully completed, you will receive:
- A free ticket credit to a future HorseMarket event of your choice
- And some exclusive items that you can only get through volunteering
StableHands are led by the StableWrangler.
When evaluating applications, he considers all skills and mixes veteran StableHands with newcomers. The StableHands will then be trained both online and even more extensively onsite.
As a StableHand, can I play at the party?
During the HorseMarket itself, StableHands are strictly forbidden to play while on duty. Anyone caught violating this rule is subject to expulsion from the party and the loss of their free ticket credit.
However, it is possible, and the StableWrangler strongly encourages his team to play during breaks. Details are provided during the onsite StableHand orientation. Simply speak with the StableWrangler to make personal arrangements.
How does my free ticket credit from volunteering?
After a successful Stable, the StableHands receive a free ticket credit (you do not get "anything", it is virtual and connected to your email address you signed up to be a StableHand with) that can be used for any future HorseMarket.
We call these tickets "Earned Tickets".
It is easy to turn them into real, live tickets. When tickets for an event go on sale:
- Fill out the registration/waiver for that particular event in the Role you want to join.
- Mail or DM the StableWrangler using the email associated with the StableHand application.
- Make sure to send this information as close as possible to the start of ticket sales, as only a limited number of tickets are reserved.
What role can I be while playing during my stable hand shift break(s)?
StableHands can choose to be a Stallion or a Mare during breaks.
Whether before or after your shift — or even between them — you can switch roles freely. You might take one break as a Stallion, return to work, and then take another break as a Mare. The role of a StableHand is the only one that lets you explore both sides of the Stable!
One of the perks of volunteering is seeing all the Stallions and Mares before the party.
This can help you decide which role to choose for your break — or inspire you to try both! You can take as many breaks as the Stable operation allows.
