Here's Copper with his mother, Banjo. He is about 6 hours old here. What an exciting time for me! He is 6 months old in the next photo. This was taken right before he won his first halter class. He later won grand champion as a yearling, and reserve champion as a 2 year old. It was so much fun showing him. He just seemed to attract attention. People loved him. The third shot is of him as a yearling.
These next shots are of Copper, age 3, with my trainers daughter Jessica. Copper was always fascinated by kids.
"A little too up close and personal Copper?"

Copper and Tor. Note Copper's hair cut. Hehehe, I've been told I've been around fjords too long.
Tor as a yearling
Here's Tor checking out my cart for the first time. I think he was wondering what I would do if he took a bite.....he found out.

This is Feather. He may seem out of place here on a horse page, but since he LOVED to go riding with me, I figured he deserved a spot here. I'm not kidding, this silly cat would follow us everywhere to get a ride. I would stop Copper by a fence, Feather would climb the fence and then jump on behind the saddle, and off we'd go. Fortunately, Copper was very tolerant!
Copper's half brother, Mesa, loved to play with anything he could get his teeth on. What a nut!
