Around Copper Moon
Copper Moon is located in the foothills of the
Appalachian Mountains in south-central Kentucky.
 We also have horses and a host of other critters
lounging about.  Please enjoy this informal look
into all of the goings on around Copper Moon.

at the 2003 Kentucky State Fair with
their English Angora Doe, Nala.
Martin the feral cat.  
Martin was adopted
and tamed by my
daughter Amanda, the
cat whisperer.  She
clearly did a little
too
good of a job!
Joey the barn cat.  
Really!  Ignore the faux
fur blanket and the
down pillows.....
Abby, a.k.a. Her Majesty
ruler of planet Earth.
Spot and Beau
plotting to overthrow
the queen.  
(And yes, Trekies, she is
named after that Spot.)

back of our property.
The ice storm of 2009.  The event that made me realize I was not cut
out to be either Amish or a pioneer woman.  The inch thick coating of
ice rendered us without power for close to a week.  Our house is all
electric which meant no heat or hot water.  And to make it even more
of an adventure I had a 5 day old liter of puppies!  
Kathryn posing with two of the three breeds of we
specialized in.  She is holding a French Lop which can
weigh up to 15 pounds - one BIG bunny!  Next to her is
an English Lop - the breed of rabbit with the longest
ears on record.
Sugar and Spice Rabbitry
What started as a 4H project grew into a championship rabbitry with about 50
rabbits in three different breeds.  We raised well over a dozen Grand Champion
rabbits and had numerous rabbits ranking in the top 20 nationally. My daughter
Amanda was recognized as one of the top Jersey Wooly youth breeders before
she turned 18.  Due to Amanda's difficult college load (she is hoping to be
accepted into vet school next fall) we no longer actively show or breed, but there
are still several bunnies hopping about.

the opening ceremony of a
southeastern regional competitive trail
ride in North Carolina.  She rode
Cayenne to a 2nd place finish that day.

Our Horses
We have several horses trained for sadleseat, trail, or dressage
for sale.  Contact
Amanda if interested.
