If God created a creature more beautiful than the horse, he kept it for himself.

Cheri Prill

The Stunning Steeds team:

Cheri Prill grew up in the metropolitan area of Milwaukee where her family had a tough time making ends meet. She was always told that owning a horse was completely out of the question because of the cost associated with them and the space they required. Cheri did not let her family’s unfortunate situation discourage her and never gave up on her dreams of riding and owning horses. She started cleaning stalls in exchange for riding lessons. She would borrow horses from friends and mentors to be able to compete in shows. In one instance, she had to even borrow a friend’s car (because hers was broken down) to make it to a national show and due to lack of funds for a hotel, even slept in the car in the parking lot. Her determination has always been unmatched and it all stems from a deep passion and love for horses. These beautiful animals aren’t just a hobby for her, she loves them and considers the equestrian lifestyle her true calling.

Since then, Cheri Prill has left an undeniable mark on the equestrian world. Since 2008 Cheri has been the proud owner of Stunning Steeds, LLC, an equestrian-focused marketing company specializing in equine photography, videography, and graphic design. Cheri has always been an artist at heart who quickly found her footing in the art industry creating custom fine art. She slowly started transitioning to graphic design after graduating from college. She worked at a marketing company as an art director for over a decade until taking a leap of faith to pursue equine photography full-time. Since then, Stunning Steeds has quickly become a well-known name amongst equestrians worldwide. Cheri, in association with Stunning Steeds, has also won multiple awards from American Horse Publishers for her outstanding photography and has been the editor and designer of the Paso Fino Horse World Magazine for many years. On top of photography, Cheri has also captured stunning videos that have been used for international promotions and aired to thousands online, and live at many prestigious events along with television programs. Cheri’s work has also been featured on Horse Capital TV on multiple occasions in addition to being displayed in museums and private collections across the globe. Her photography has been published in many popular equestrian magazines (both domestic and international), hardcover books, calendars, show displays, feed bags, and other equestrian products/collectibles. Not only does Cheri’s expertise and technical knowledge create stunning photographs, but she has impeccable knowledge of many different disciplines making it easy to capture the perfect photos/videos that fit each breed's standards.

When she is not behind the lens creating magic, you will find Cheri riding dressage on a Friesan horse or one of the several Colombian Trote y Galope and Trocha horses she owns. She also loves taking her Bengal cat Khalifa out on walks around her neighborhood and getting funny looks from the neighbors.

Horses are a passion!
