Copper Star Miniature Donkeys
Adamstown, Maryland
Going Against The Grain Since 2005
Welcome to Copper Star Miniature Donkeys
The miniature donkeys are raised by
Emily D. Hoponick. My vision is to breed donkeys with correct conformation, various colors, sweet personalities, and a high pedigree. Maryland born and bred. The Copper Star herd is now located in beautiful Adamstown, MD. You will not find a herd of such quality, conformation, and pedigree in the tri-state area.
2011 Started off with a bang! We have some great foals for sale with some really unique colors this season. We also have a unique phenomenon happening. Hickory Hill's Holy Smoke has thrown colored coated donkeys each with blue eyes. I talked to the folks at Hickory Hill donkey farm in Texas and we discovered that this is genetically linked to his Sire Green Acres Smokey Star. This is very exciting and I am looking forward to seeing what other coat colors and blue eyed beauties we will have in the 2012 foaling season. It was thought that only blue eyes could occur in whites but this is simply not true!!! We have three up and coming herdsires. Zoltan (Gurlla NLP Wooly), Trojan (Black and White, with blue eyes), and Red Rock (Red Roan with blue eyes).
If you would like to come visit and to see our outstanding stock please contact emilyhoponick@hotmail.com or give us a call at 301-452-1251.
We are currently located in a small town in Maryland called Adamstown. It is a town that time has forgotten. It is quaint and you can still get coffee and really good ice cream at the general store "Stups". Adamstown has a fire house, a post office, a church, and a great little sub shop. The people that live in the Adamstown community are really friendly. They have embraced the donkeys being here. We get drive by "HEee HAws!" very often. I see the school children wave to the donkeys as they are passing by the field in the school bus. We have three other farms located only minutes apart that have donkeys. Yonder farm is 2 streets away and Pat has her crew of donkeys on her farm adjacent to where we are. I jokingly say that Adamstown has the most donkeys per mile in the state of Maryland!We are also unique in that the farm is located on the first stop of the Underground Railroad from Virginia to Maryland. The spring house located on the farm housed slaves looking for freedom, north. The farm has been in the Michael's family since July 12, 1768 and is a part of the history of Frederick and Carroll Manor. We are very honored to be located at such a historical site. As seen in American Livestock Magazine and in The Brayer!
