COPPICE DAISY-BELLE

**** SOLD ****

Coppice Bandsman 

ex Coppice Dolly Daydream (Coppice Dandy Jack ex Coppice Dolly Diana)
Bay 40”, born 2002, 8 years

Daisy is a super, quality mare, very typey with bone and substance, a very pretty head and lots of hair.  Professionally broken to ride by Natalie Greasley last year and only lightly shown last season. Now in her second year under saddle and competing novice ridden, FR, LR and LR jumping, juniors and opens - she goes as well in a snaffle or two reins and has just qualified for the open FR final at NPS Champs*.  Jumping small courses off lead at home and has a natural talent for the future.  

Also shown in hand and placed well since a yearling, including champion Midlands in Hand 2005, champion Fillongley 2009 etc and shown with success in young handlers.  Bred a super foal in 2007.

Poppy and Daisy at the BSPS area 6 Show May 2011, open first ridden class.

A rising star, Daisy combines true Shetland type with lovely ridden paces, bags of presence and a sweet temperament.  A gorgeous, glossy bay, very correct and full of character, she will definitely go all the way to the top in the right hands and is looking for a serious showing home and a competitive jockey.  Only for sale as we have several other established and upcoming ridden ponies and have no time to do her justice - she has too much talent to spend her life as a brood mare.

COPPICE BRIGITTA

Coppice Fanfare 

ex Coppice Briar Rose (Glenfall Excelsior ex Blossom of Luckdon)
Skewbald (bay and white) filly to make 42”, born 1 May 2006

A stunning, well-marked filly with a beautiful head and her father's elegant and ground-covering movement.  Broken by Natalie Greasley in summer 2010 and did her first show after only five weeks, being placed third in a very strong Picton class at Staffs Country Festival.

Will  make a top ridden pony and should go all the way.

COPPICE FELICITY

*** FOR SALE ****

Coppice Bandsman 

ex Sapphire Faith (Lockinge Giles ex Clothie Fran)
Blue roan 37/38”, born October 2004

Faith's well-kept little secret! Despite being a winter foal, with very little grass, Faith did a super job and raised a chunky, well-made little filly with good hair and bone.  Very friendly and sweet. Her first foal in 2009 was a petite, blue roan filly.

Felicity is for sale through no fault of her own as we are cutting down some of our breeding mares, although it is very hard to have to decide which to sell.  She is a sweet, uncomplicated little mare and foaled easily.  Her colour would be an asset to any stud and she would show well in hand.

Pictured August 2010.

COPPICE POSY

Coppice Bugle ex Newtown Peppermint
Chestnut & white 38”, born 1993

Peppermint and Bugle produced a number of chunky colts and fillies with good bone and hair, skewbald and chestnut. Posy is the only daughter we retained from that pairing, and we wish we’d kept more! She has produced a variety of colours to various of our stallions - blue roan, skewbald, chestnut and black. 

Pictured in May 2004.

COPPICE WILLOW

Coppice Bandsman 

ex Seva Wednesday
Skewbald 38”, born April 2005

Another square, well-boned little foal from Wednesday.  Well-marked with a pretty head and very friendly and amenable. Smashing show filly, taking many firsts at county level and always highly placed even in large classes of big blacks.  In 2009 she has had her first foal, a smart chestnut and white filly to Coppice Everyman.

SEVA WEDNESDAY

Seva Tobermory ex Seva Loveday
Bred by Mesdames Whitaker and Davies
Chestnut & white 36”, born 1990

An enchanting little mare of true Seva stamp, well marked with a smashing head and real substance. Wednesday came to us as as a two year old from Peggy Whitaker, and has consistently produced typey, compact foals, skewbald, blue and white and bay roan to Firebird of Spring Cottage. To Coppice Bandsman she has produced skewbald replicas of herself, with a little more height. 

Pictured in 2002.

COPPICE ELOISE

Coppice Bandsman ex Lockinge Elspeth
Chestnut 38”, born 1994

A super little mare, typical of Bandsman stock, well boned with a good body and quality head and front. Very successful as a youngster before she decided she preferred the field to the show ring. She has produced several good, chunky foals to Coppice Bobby Blue, chestnut and roan. 
Pictured May 2005 with C. Ballerina.

COPPICE BELLE BLUE

Firebird of Spring Cottage ex Cwmhen Beauty
Blue roan 36.5”, born 1991

A delightful little mare, sweet natured and perfectly formed, like her full brothers Coppice Bandsman and Coppice Bobby Blue. Very successful in the show ring through the years. Sold as a foal and bought back some years ago, Belle has given us piebald and blue and white foals of her own stamp.  
Pictured late 1990's.

COPPICE BUTTERFLY

**** FOR SALE ****

Coppice Fanfare 

ex Coppice Belle Blue (Firebird of Spring Cottage ex Cwmhen Beauty)
Blue and white 38", born May 2004

A very nice, chunky little mare with super limbs and body and a sweet, unruffled  temperament.  Butterfly was shown as a two year old, taking second in the coloured two year old fillies at the SPSBS Breed Show in a very good class at only her second show. 

Has thrown chestnut and white fillies.  A very sweet, kind little mare, very steady and sensible like her mother (who was driven as a youngster).  Butterfly would make a nice in hand mare and a smashing children's pony and with enough quality to make a good county level lead rein.  Very, very reluctant sale as we have to cut down.

Pictured August 2009.

COPPICE PRUDENCE

Coppice Bandsman ex Coppice Posy (Coppice Bugle ex Newtown Peppermint)
Chestnut (flaxen mane & tail) 40+”, born May 2005

A very attractive mare with a good body, short cannons and masses of substance.  Good, strong chestnut colour with flaxen mane and tail.  Foaled a smart chestnut colt in 2009 and again in 2010.  
Pictured in July 2008.

RICCALTON MARIGOLD

Claylands Chieftain ex Riccalton Crocus

Bred by Mrs C E Logan
Chestnut roan 40+”, born 18 May 2005

A beautiful mare, gorgeous colour, lovely head and eye.  We were very lucky to be able to buy her as a yearling from Connie Logan.  Has produced a very smart chestnut colt in 2009 to Coppice Everyman and  will go to Abbotsford Ice Cube next to cement the Southley/Riccalton connection.
Pictured in April 2011.

LOCKINGE ELSPETH

Lockinge Giles ex Lockinge Enid
Bred by Mrs Knight
Bay 39”, born 1980

A truly beautiful mare of the Lockinge stamp, very feminine with a lovely head and large, kind eye. Ellie has been a prolific breeder over the years of quality, well boned stock by Blue and Bandsman. She has never shown her age and winters as well as the younger mares. 
Photo shows Ellie aged 14,when she was Champion at the Midlands In Hand Show the only time we showed her, with Coppice Eloise.

SAPPHIRE FAITH

Lockinge Giles ex Clothie Fran
Bred by Pam Smith
Blue roan 39”, born 1984

A super little mare who has produced many good foals over the years to both Blue and Bandsman and is the mother of Coppice Fanfare by Coppice Bugle. She owes us nothing now and has joined our little band of retired ladies.
Photo shows Faith aged 12 with Coppice Fanfare.
