Playing Cupid

3 year old thoroughbred gelding bred in KY
Cupid (Tapit) out of Lavalier by Inc
Eligible for the Retired Racehorse Project's
THOROUGHBRED MAKEOVER COMPETITION!

16 hands. He last worked on 8/30/25 and was retired with slight bone bruising in his left hind. He is ready to train in a new discipline.

Cupid is a friendly, affectionate youngster with a good attitude. He is a straightforward ride and with training in a supported environment should be suitable for skilled youth riders and adult amateurs. 

Cupid has settled into retirement well and is enjoying a slower pace of life. He is respectful of his handlers and enjoys his grooming sessions. He stands politely for grooming, bathing and the vet and farrier. He is quiet in his stall and mixes well with a gentle group of geldings – no drama even on the first day of turnout.

Cupid should be suitable for any non-racing discipline. He’d be beautiful as a hunter and has a great brain for eventing – listens well, trusts his rider.

He is a cribber, but it is controlled by a strap.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS EVENT: All horses will be half off the listed adoption fee if adopted and picked up by 12/15/25. Limited use horses and companions will have a waived fee for qualified and responsible homes that can commit to a lifetime home or will return the horse to Second Stride if no longer able to keep the horse and can’t find an appropriate home.
