Cupido Drafts are an ancient breed, able to trace their roots back to the destriers and coursers of medieval Europe. Centuries of careful breeding refined them into heavy draft horses ideally suited for work on cold, often damp farms. Alas, even Cupidos could not compete with the growing mechanization of agriculture, and in the mid-1900s their numbers began to dwindle. Fans of the breed took that as their signal and began a global effort to save the breed. While some outside blood made its way into the gene pool, primarily from Shires, Norikers, Vanners, and Spotted Draft Horses, Cupidos have experienced something of a renaissance. Today their numbers are steadily climbing, spurred on by a devoted breed association and shows meant to showcase the breed's natural athleticism and beauty.

Modern Cupidos are gentle giants, as famed for their sweet temperaments as they are for their size and strength. Their patient demeanor and willingness to work make them ideal for a variety of applications, from agricultural work to combined driving and skijoring to vaulting. They range in size from 15-18 hands tall and come in every color and pattern seen in modern horse breeds.

✩ All CS rules apply, and are enforced in our Discord. Familiarize yourself with them here!

✩ There is a zero tolerance policy for harassing, bullying or guilt-tripping. Warnings will be issued before drastic measures are taken, repeated offences will result in a species ban. Be kind to each other!

✩ Cupido's are a closed species. This means you may not make your own (No one is stopping you from making your own draft horse! This is specifically for Cupido's.), or "breed" them to outside horse species. You may upload your Cupido's off of CS, as long as they are linked back to the their original adopt page and both Emberwolf and the artist who made it is credited. (Sites like Toyhou.se, Wix, Weebly, etc. are acceptable - DA storage is not.)

✩ To request breedings or imports, you must have an updated storage page. Things to include at a bare minimum are links to the adopt, lineages (parents or foals), and breeding slots. Breeding slots must be updated when a breed request is accepted or slots are traded between users.

✩ Breeding slots are allowed to be traded for other Cupido slots and (in v5) may not be revoked, unless one full year has passed, or the user you have given a slot to has deactivated their account or received a site or species ban. Slots may not be traded or used with Cupido's owned by banned or deactivated members.

✩ Breeding permissions given pre v5 launch are invalid and cannot be used. If you need more perms, ask around! We have a discord channel specifically for this (please wait until after the official launch).

✩ Bans are not issued lightly, however in the case of a species ban, all freely acquired Cupido's will be revoked and distributed back into the community, either to the artists that created them or through a giveaway raffle. All items will be revoked and raffled off. Paid Cupido's will be considered "void" and may not be interacted with in any way.

✩ All pre v5 Cupido's are eligible for breeding, slot trading and competitions. v5 Cupido's now have five (5) breeding slots, whereas legacy (v1-v4) will keep their original eight (8).

✩ Rules are subject to change or revision at any time.
