Historical Pony: Copper Moose

12/6/2025

0 Comments

 
Copper Moose was one of a group of half Arabians born in 1996. His sire is the chestnut registered Arabian Premierre and his dam was the buckskin Sandy's Grey. Copper was born on the Leonard family's farm and his dam is a sister to Misty Dawn, dam of the recently deceased Poco Latte PW. Copper didn't sire a ton of foals but has descendants in the current herd. His two daughters kept for the herd are LZS Mark's Island Liberty and Dakota Sky's Cody 2 Socks. He was almost killed by another stallion in 2010, but recovered and lived almost 5 more years before passing the winter of 2014/2015. I got to watch Copper his whole life; I saw him sold as a buyback and spent some quality time standing with him at the fence at Pony Penning 2014.

Copper Moose was a buckskin like his dam and he sired several cream dilute foals. Both of his buyback daughters were bay and didn't inherit his cream.

Buckskin is bay diluted by cream and he appeared to have one copy of agouti. Agouti causes black to stay on the pony's points with a brown body, which is a bay. One of Copper's assumed foals was a black pinto. If he had two copies of agouti he couldn't have sired a black foal.

Since Copper's sire was a chesnut he carried recessive chestnut. Chestnuts like Premierre always pass one copy of chestnut on to their offspring. Copper sired at least one chestnut offspring.
