Current event, the Spring Festival! Hope to see you there
Cupido Draft Horses, or more commonly known as Cupido Drafts [CDH for short], are typically bigger and thicker than the average horse. They tend to range from 15 to 18.2 hands high, however, the largest ever recorded was a 19.2 hand high stallion, the founding stallion of the breed. Cupido Drafts are robust draft horses with stark roman noses, typically sporting well-defined muscles and big hooves to accompany their large size. One of the most sought after traits within Cupido Draft Horses, though, are their thick manes and tails. Their mane and tails are incredibly silky and have a natural curl, giving it a beautiful wavy look that is very popular around the world for shows. Cupido Drafts, though originally thought to be bred for look and companionship, can be used for almost any event that they are eligible for.
The exact origins of the Cupido Draft Horse is unknown, yet there is one widespread story thought to be the closest to the original origins...
Back in the times, there was a romance. It was nothing special, nothing forbidden, nothing particularly interesting about them or their story- but the thing that sparked the interest of their town was the unconditional love that Tyrael had for Ruby. There was love throughout the town, as with any town, but his love for his one and only trumped all others. There were rumors; whispers, that as much as Tyrael loved Ruby, Ruby simply did not feel the same. Tyrael was convinced they were wrong and to prove himself, he decided to propose. But he was not one to get down on one knee and simply ask. It had to be so much bigger, extremely extravagant. So Tyrael took a trip to an unknown island and returned with two horses. He named them Venus and Mars, and although many asked him, he never did reveal where he got them. But it was on that fateful day, the day of the proposal, that Tyrael confessed every morsel of his love, spilling out his heart and asking for her hand. He did it on horse back of course, a beautiful scene, with Ruby on Mars and himself of Venus. But things did not go as planned, Ruby declined his proposal. It was never clear to him or the others why exactly, but with that simple response, she ran, or rather galloped away, never to be seen again. It is said that those who are foals of Venus, carry the soul of the pure with an unrequited love. This lineage is sweet and will love unconditionally whether the love is returned to them or not. Mars however, bares the soul of love never said. According to myth Ruby loved him desperately but would not let herself for some unknown reason. Thus, the line of Mars tends to be more protective rather then loving and they tend to be slower to trust. And that is the story of how the bloodlines came to be, the lore, the backstory of it all.
