We are now back from our first show, Southern States, and are starting to get a feel for how the youngsters on our show string will perform.   Several made their debuts including CBMF Class Act, a two year old who was Grand Champion Mare, and CBMF Restless who was Junior Pleasure Driving Champion.   And of course, we are always thrilled with CBMF Crown Prince who was the Junior Park Harness Champion.  Thanks ftor Fran Pugh, her team and the Soutern States Show Committee for their unmatched hospitality.

Our next show is this week at Connecticut where we are taking a few more youngsters to make their debuts in the ring.  In the Midwest, Grove Pointe will have a couple for us at Gold Cup toward the end of June.

Christie Little continues to make news as the winner of CBMF Walk the Line in the AMHA Youth fundraiser earlier this year.  Her publicity machine has generated great interest in the next competition are we are working to identify the horse to be donated.  If you are interested, I believe that details of the competition are available on the AMHA web-site.

Despite the success of the Copper Beech sale, we still have a number of horses of all ages and price ranges available (the result of having a big breeding program).  A number of them are included on our site but don't hesitate to contact one of our trainers if your don't see what you are looking for.

About Copper Beech

Copper Beech LLC is owned by Ann Hailey and Patrick Duggan. We began our venture 22 years ago when we bought our first Morgan from Harry and Carolyn Sebring who are integral to the success of Copper Beech.

We breed with an objective of producing show horses primarily for the pleasure and park divisions. We strive for Morgans that have it all--athletic ability, beautiful heads, long legs and necks, laid-back shoulders and that important Morgan intangible known as heart.

We constantly strive to improve our results by investing in bloodstock, trying different crosses and watching and learning from other programs. Our primary breeding stallions are DBA Street Talk, GLB Bell Pepper, and Ben's Rhapsody. This year we are very excited to add CBMF Crown Prince and Queen's Upbeat to our line-up. But as much as we love our stallions, the foundation of our breeding program is our mares. We have an extensive group of exceptional broodmares.

As with all endeavors, our success is enabled by the partnership and support of a variety of trainers whose contact information is included on our site. We express our sincere gratitude to these partners and the grooms, vets and farriers who are integral to providing world class care to our horses.
