We have welcomed the first foals on the ground at Copper Light in spring 2026 and have big plans for next year’s breeding season. Take a look at what’s coming!
2027 Planned Breedings
I believe that temperament is both inherited as well as can be gently moulded in young horses. While we will offer some in utero and foals, we are especially excited to bring along our carefully bred young horses with tactful training to develop confident horses that are ready for life experiences with new owners.
Gracie Blu KVJ x Glamourdale
We adore Glamourie CLF so much that we’ve embarked on a repeat breeding with Gracie Blu KVJ x Glamourdale via ICSI. We’re eagerly awaiting news if we have any successfully developed embryos.
Full sibling to Glamourie CLF
Sire – GLAMOURDALE
Lord Leatherdale x Negro
Current world ranked #1 dressage horse Glamourdale needs no introduction as he continues to dazzle. He won Individual and Team Bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics but that was hardly his first time in the spotlight. He was previously named Champion of his KWPN keuring, placed second at his Stallion Performance Test, and commandingly won the FEI World Championships for Young Horses. Seemingly unstoppable since their commanding win of the Team Silver and Individual Gold Medal in the Special and the Freestyle at 2022 FEI World Championships, Glamourdale and Lottie have continued to bring home top ribbons and impressive scores as high as 92%. Just this weekend, December 2025, he secured two commanding victories at the World Cup London. Video from the 82% freestyle winning ride is below.
Glamourdale’s sire, Lord Leatherdale, was Reserve Champion of his Stallion Performance Test and a successful FEI competitor; as well as a sire of Olympic medalist Everdale. His dam is half-sister to the approved stallion Numberto and has been an exceptional producer. Damsire Negro is proven choice for producing Grand Prix horses, including the Olympic Gold Medalist, World Cup Winner, and World Equestrian Games Gold Medalist, Valegro.
Glamourdale offspring have been selected for the World Breeding Championships for Young Horses, US National Young Horse Championships, PAVO Cup Finals, and many are now at the FEI levels. In the US, his offspring are winning USDF Breeders Series, Regional and National Championships, and earning top Horse of the Year rankings. Glamourdale has an impressive 37 approved sons and 45 elite mares to his credit. With power and scope to the movement, and a super character, Glamourdale offers the quality we should be seeking.
Dam – GRACIE BLUE KVJ
Pallido Blu CF x Galoubet A/Abdullah
Currently the only jumper bred mare in our program, our lovely 2016 tobiano premium GOV Oldenburg mare was successful in the 1.15s before transitioning to motherhood. Her sire, Pallido Blu CF is a striking tobiano Oldenburg by Pallido out of Rainfall, an Oldenburg mare. Well known in the US for his homozygous color and adorable jump form, we eagerly await Gracie’s own color testing. Her damsire, Galoubet A was an absolutely epic 17h Selle Francois 1.60m jumper in his own right and as a sire has produced sixty-nine licensed sons and many premium daughters. Most notably Baloubet du Rouet, Quick Star, Caloubet du Rouet and Jah’s Diamant. Gracie is WFFS negative.
Feldborg’s Samantha x Secret
We were fortunate to procure an embryo from the absolutely lovely imported mare Feldborg’s Samantha by Secret. Embryo has been transferred to a recipient mare and we eagerly await heartbeat check.
Copper Light’s Willow x Iceman de Muze
We’ve long wanted offspring from our very own Willow and this year have aimed for a sensible jumper cross by Iceman de Muze. Awaiting news of embryo transfer to a recipient.
Cheptel Quebec x Daily Magic de Rock Z
Quebec, newly on loan from our friends at Winter Beach Farm, a lovely winning jumper mare is planned to be matched with Daily Magic de Rock Z, colored Warmblood son of Dominator 2000 Z .
