Happy New Year to all our friends. We are looking forward to another year of shows, sales, breeding, foaling and friendships in the Morgan World.

I am thrilled that the Fu Family wants to have another CopperDragon sale this year.   The inaugural event in 2007 was a real highlight of the year for me and I look forward to this next sale.  CopperDragon II will be held on May8,2010 at Sebring Stables in Richmond, MA.   Catalogues will be available in early April.  We will have CopperDragon web site and will let you know when it is available.

In the interim, if you just can't wait to have a Copper Beech horse, we have a very strong selection available in all age groups.  We have lots of trained show prospects.  In addition, our two year olds are still in the field and there are a number of RAGING bargains available if you offer a good home and make your selection before we have training money into them. And of course, we always have quality breeding stock available.

We continue to move our breeding program forward by adding great new mares to the program and building on what we have learned in previous breeding years (and from what we learn from the breeding program of others).   We think our 2009 crop was the best ever and are looking forward to the 2010 crop which begins arriving in a little over a month.

Our best wishes for peace, happiness and prosperity as we enter a new decade.

About Copper Beech

Copper Beech LLC is owned by Ann Hailey and Patrick Duggan. We began our venture in 1987 when we bought our first Morgan from Harry and Carolyn Sebring.

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.
