Copper Beech Farm's 2020 Award Winners
Corona Virus caused most of our shows to be cancelled and there were no national or regional WPCSA rankings. But, we really enjoyed the few shows we were able to attend. The highlight of our year was Severn Hollyberry Bow earning her final points in both halter and driving to win her Individual Legion of Merit (LOM). This is quite an accomplishment for a driving pony and we are very proud of her. We also did quite well in the Maryland Pony Breeders Yearling Futurity. Copper Beech Spanish Sherry won 1st in the Section A Division, 3rd in the Hunter Breeder Fillies Division, and Reserve Champion overall. Copper Beech Cardiff was 2nd in the Welsh Section A Division. The highlight of our very limited WPCSA shows was Copper Beech Danny Boy winning Supreme Gelding at PC#2. We also got to one Combined Driving show (Teddy Bear's Picnic CT) where Severn Rainbow debuted at Preliminary level with a 3rd place and Severn Hollyberry Bow placed 2nd at Training Level.

Copper Beech Farm's 2019 Award Winners
Copper Beech Farm bred ponies are starting to hold their own in the show ring. We focused on breed shows this year and had three WPCSA top four ranked ponies: Copper Beech Danny Boy was National Champion 2 and Under Section A Geldings; Copper Beech Spanish Sherry was National Reserve Champion Welsh A Filly (second only to Severn Savannah who we sold halfway through the show season); and Severn Hollyberry Bow was 3rd placed nationally in 12.2 hh and under Pleasure Driving. Severn Rainbow only got to a few shows but she was 4th placed in the SouthEastern region in 12.2 hh and under Pleasure Driving.
The highlight of our show season was the VA Spring Fling where Danny Boy was double Supreme Champion Gelding and Holly was Reserve Supreme Champion.

Copper Beech Farm's 2018 Award Winners
Copper Beech Farm hit another milestone this year with the debut of our pair (Severn Hollyberry Bow and Severn Festive Bow) in both open and Welsh breed shows. In addition, Severn Rainbow, driven by Claire Lacey, made her debut showing single in both open and Welsh shows. Rainbow had a great first outing by winning the James River Classic ADT Single Pony Training Division (and the High Score Training Dressage). She just beat out her sister Severn Hollyberry Bow who was second overall and second in dressage. Both the pair and Rainbow were nationally ranked in the WPCSA breed classes with the pair earning the National Championship in Multiples Pleasure Driving and Rainbow earning 4th place in the very competitive 12.2 and under Pleasure Driving Division.
Copper Beech Danny Boy rounded out our nationally ranked ponies by earning a fourth place in Section A Colts while Copper Beech Marigold just missed a top 4 rank by earning 5th in Section A Fillies. Marigold also had the distinction of helping her dam Severn Periwinkle win her Legion of Merit (LOM) by serving as a leg with 332 halter points.
