Kiso Pony She/Her

My name is Kiso Pony, or my human name is Aspen (He/Him). I am the Indiana Pet of 2025 and a member of House Exemplar. I am a Proud Trans Man, and I have been in the Kink and Leather community since 2016. I have found a home for myself in the pet and leather community and attempt to support both of them every chance I get. I look to ensure that every critter feels valued, regardless of whether they have someone to share their critter soul with.

Atreyu Drake He/Him

Atreyu has been in the community for nearly a decade, a pup for nearly as long, and in House Exemplar's leather family for five years. "Be in awe of my tism."

Competition Commentator

Pup Howdy He/They

Pup Howdy (he/they) is a queer transmasc critter who's been in the Indiana kink scene since 2019. He volunteers at subSpace, an Indianapolis dungeon, where he regularly hosts events that center on and uplift the LGBTQ+ kink community. He also occasionally teaches pet play classes, with a special emphasis on the benefits of play for self care. Whether as a pup, otter, or fledgling Handler, they love sharing their passion for pet play with others and they strive to cultivate environments in which kinksters of all stripes can have fun, feel seen, and play safely.
