About The Herd

Steele My Heart "Cupid"
1) She shows under the name of Steele My Heart but is known as Cupid around the barn.
2) Cupid is a 14.1 Welsh Cross. People have guessed Welsh/Quarter Horse, Welsh/Thoroughbred, and Welsh/Haflinger.
3) Cupid is a 2012 model, but I have no idea what her actual birthday is. 
4) Cupid hates cheese flavored snacks and bananas. Everything else that's edible is considered fair game. 
5) Cupid is barefoot and has great feet. 
6) Cupid loves to jump and has been witnessed clearing a 4 foot paddock fence. She then crashed into the same fence but wasn't phased by the impact. 
7) On the topic of crashing, Cupid has no issue running through things. She's taken out a temporary stall, and a cinder block wash rack. She's run through fences when I've approached them wrong, and if she can get her body through a gap in the gates she will force it open and go through. 
8) Cupid is high strung but calm at the same time. She spooks at silly things like saddles on jumps, but will let me flip an umbrella around while riding her. 
9) Cupid is a spur and stick ride which people find extremely amusing. 
10) Cupid has a huge personal space bubble and hates having other horses in that bubble. Yet she won't kick or bite them while someone is mounted on her.
