Cupid and Arrow - Mare and Foal

Cupid and Arrow are a real mare and foal with a story that will go straight to the heart of any horse lover!

Cupid, the demure bay pinto dam of Arrow, is an intelligent and sensitive horse that had endured a hard-knock life until 1999. At auction that year, a New England farmer named Buck Kalinowksi noticed a heart shaped marking on her forehead after incidentally sweeping aside her lank forelock to better judge her. After paying $325 for her, Buck loaded up the mare and headed back home to his farm.

Now named Cupid, the mare warmed up to her new owners and soon after became the barn's favoured riding pony. That winter, Cupid revealed a little secret she'd been keeping. She quietly lay down in her stall and foaled a colt. And as if Fate had planned it, the little black Pinto foal had a most unusual marking over his hindquarters: a white arrow pointed over his spine. The colt and his unique marking were a fitting complement to the serendipity, compassion, and love that gave Cupid her second chance at life.
