Name: Copper Star Farm Dude "Vince"
Color: Fully Frosted Grey Dapple
Height: Large Standard
DOB: 6/29/2025
Price: $2000 Still available as of 10/21/2025
If he does not sell by winter he will be consigned to the RSD New Year's Sale in Kearneysville, WV.
Sire: Unknown Spotted Jack, large standard
Dam: Copper Star Tyger Lily Grey, large standard, Fully Frosted Grey Dapple
Dude is a super friendly in your face kind of guy. He will make an exceptional horse companion, pack donkey, or cattle guard. He was born in the field with the sheep and currently guarding. My experience tells me that once he matures the sheep field will not be his place. Jack foals need other jobs. So, he will be looking for his new home with a JOB. He will be ACOSA registered and microchiped.
Price includes microchip, halter / lead rope, registration, worming & first trim.
He was vaccinated in utero with a 4 way vaccine.
Name: Copper Star Farm Neapolitan Cookie 'Neo'
Color: Black wlp
Height: Small Standard
DOB: 6/10 Born under the Strawberry Moon.
Price: $1500 SOLD! Congratulations! Neo is going to have a new family!
Sire: Top Hat's Paddington "Ace", 34" Black & white spotted woolly
Dam: Copper Star Milano Cookie, small standard, Black with light points
Neo will make an exceptional horse companion. He was born in the field with the sheep and currently guarding. My experience tells me that once he matures the sheep field will not be his place. So, he will be looking for his new home as a horse companion! He will be ADMS registered as both of his parents are registered.
Price includes microchip, halter / lead rope, registration, worming & first trim.
He was vaccinated in utero with a 4 way vaccine.
Name: Kinney's Mini's & Poultry Morgane
Color: Ivory
Price: $3,000 Still available!
Morgane is going into early retirement. She is a beautiful rare ivory and she is super gentle. She would make an excellent horse farm ambassador or therapy donkey!
She is not able to be bred due to her low milk production. She can not keep up with nursing a foal. I lost her last foal, a healthy girl to dehydration. Morgane has a small nursing bag and can not keep up with what the foal needs. It is not fair to put her through the loss of another foal. She mourned the loss of her last foal deeply.
If you are looking for an outstanding jennet just to love on and adore, Morgane is your girl.
She must go to a home where there are no jacks, but another donkey or horse for her to have as a companion.
I will require she has a designated stall as her hair is short and she does need extra shelter in the winter.
