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.
