"The Ladies Shooting Poney 1780" is a satirical print created by the English artist John Collet (circa 1725–1780), who was known for his humorous and often moralizing depictions of contemporary English society. This particular work, produced towards the end of Collet's career, reflects the artist's keen eye for social commentary and his ability to capture the nuances of 18th-century life.

The print portrays a scene in which women, dressed in the attire of the period, are engaging in the traditionally male-dominated activity of shooting, but with a pony rather than guns. The image is rich with irony and humor, as it subverts the expectations of gender roles of the time. The ladies are shown taking aim with their riding crop as if they were on a hunt, while a male figure in the background appears to be in a state of shock or surprise at the sight of women participating in such an activity.

Collet's work often included such playful inversions of societal norms, and "The Ladies Shooting Poney 1780" is a prime example of his style. The print would have been enjoyed by the middle and upper classes of Georgian England, who were both the subjects and the consumers of his art. As with many of Collet's pieces, this print would have been distributed as a popular form of entertainment and social critique, reflecting the artist's wit and the cultural landscape of the time.

The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the gender dynamics, fashion, and leisure activities of the late 18th century. It also contributes to the understanding of the role of satire and visual humor in the period's print culture. While the print is specific to its era, the themes of challenging societal norms and the representation of women in non-traditional roles resonate with contemporary discussions about gender and equality.

John Collet's "The Ladies Shooting Poney 1780" remains an important work within the canon of British satirical art, exemplifying the artist's contribution to the genre and the cultural discourse of his time.
