OUR
BLACK MARES
COPPICE DOLLY DIANA
Glenfall Excelsior
ex Glenfall Dolly Daydream
(Highfield Leander ex Chatsworth Dolly Vera)
Black 40”, born 1989
Diana is a very beautiful, sweet natured mare with a lovely body, good, short cannons and luxuriant mane and tail. She oozes quality.
She has been a prolific winner in hand over the years, winning many championships.
Although not shown for three years we brought her out again for the SPSBS
Breed Show 2006, where she won her veteran class and was reserve veteran
champion. A week later she won the Shetland championship at
Moorgreen in a very good field!
Diana astonished us all in October 2007 by producing a lovely filly to
Vasheer!

throws big, laid back foals for performance.

COPPICE DOLLY VIRGINIA
1991 to 2006
Glenfall Excelsior
ex Chatsworth Dolly Vera
Black 41”, born 1991
Ginny was a true member of the “Dolly” line, a big mare of performance type, with a good head and kind eye and a sensible temperament.
Full sister to Coppice Drummer and Coppice Driver, she produced big, free moving foals to Coppice Dandy
Jack. We can't believe that she's gone and we miss her terribly.
Luckily we still have her daughter Coppice Dolly Vera, who has a
terrific look of her mom about her.
Photo shows Ginny with her 2000 colt foal, Coppice Victor.

CHATSWORTH DOLLY VERA
1969 to 2008
Wells Superfine ex Braes of Greenock Dolly
Varden, Black 41”, born 1969
|
|
Our Grand Old Lady left us on 21st May 2008 at the amazing age of 39.
The contribution Dolly made to the Coppice ponies can still be seen in
today’s sixth generation – a handsome, old-fashioned head with a
large eye and ‘the look of eagles’, lots of quality, an elegant,
ground-covering stride and a bold and extremely determined nature.
Independent and no-nonsense to the last, Dolly left us of her own accord
and saved us that final, awful decision that we all dread. She survived
two daughters and a son and two husbands. A truly amazing lady.
Thank you Dolly, for all that you did for us. You were a dear old friend
and a matriarch whose like we may never see again. Sleep tight old girl.

Coppice Dandy Jack ex Coppice Dolly Diana, Black 38”, born 1998

Producing medium-sized, chunky foals with presence.

COPPICE BONNY GIRL
Highfield Leander ex Chatsworth Dolly Vera, Black 40”, born 1983
Bonny was our first ever Coppice foal. Dolly was carrying her when we
bought her from Jane Cullingford of the Glenfall Stud in 1982.
Bonny has bred some super foals over the years, including Coppice
Brigadier by Scamells Cracker. After Brig she decided she was
bored of motherhood and refused to get in foal for several years but
produced a super bay colt to Coppice Fanfare in 2004, who has been sold
as a driving pony.
Photo shows Bonny in May 2004. |

COPPICE BLOSSOM
Coppice Dandy Jack
ex Coppice Briar Rose
Black 37.5/38”, born 2002
So much quality she doesn’t know what to do with it, masses of hair and a superb body like her mother.
Shown once in 2004 and placed second, first time out. Produced a lovely, chunky black filly to Coppice Bandsman in 2006.
Sold through no
fault of her own as she was a little small for our stud. Blossom is
very sweet and pretty, moves well and would make a super lead-rein and
children's pony.
Pictured May 2007.

COPPICE ELIZABETH
Scamells Cracker
ex Glenfall Exquisite
Black 38”, born 1994
A smashing little mare, with a good body and bone like her mother, and a strong Wetherden look about her. She bred several good, big
fillies whilst with Julie Fisher and has now decided to have
colts. Had a super black colt to Coppice Bandsman in 2006 and has
now gone to Sapphire Vasheer. Lizzie has a sweet temperament,
foals easily and is a good mother. Very sad sale, as she was a
little small for our stud and we have to cut down on our black mares to
expand our coloured stock.
Photo shows Lizzie in May 2004 with Coppice Erik.
