Hi Jean & everyone else here!
  I am still lurking, (sounds awful) the last time I posted, well it's
  not even in the memory banks );  Still alias Wally Coombs although
  this is from Lynne MacDonald.  I had written some time ago about
  having to sell my "best friend" Copper.  BTW he is doing well,
  exceptionaly, he did come up for sale again - to me but $$$ and time
  did not permit, I was really heartbroken.
Anyway, to get on with it.  Jean, Copper is a saddlebred cross & I do
envy you.  They are terrific driving horses, seems to come naturally, as
the lovely gaits for riding.  Remember I rode Copper in Competative
Trail for many years and the only reason I survived was his lovely gaits
and smooth way of going.
The other & very imporant aspect is his personality!  I know about those
kind, soft eyes.  Copper's always been a gem, and after he bit me at
about 2 years of age, he never again displayed any inclination to hurt &
went out of his way to be careful with children, even when he was very
young.  Both my kids learned how to ride & fall off this horse (:  One
was a very scary situation, my ex had taken my son out to ride & the
cinch broke, Copper spooked something awful (he hated my ex & it was
mutual) any way there was quite a rodeo & even the dreaded ex was
impressed with all the panic Copper kept an eye out for Patrick and he
came away without a scratch.  The hooves were flying but avoiding
Patrick.  Patrick was about 12 when that happened and being MY son,
found another saddle & went for a ride!  (proud Mom moment)
You will probably find Sedona with a great personality albeit with a few
"Saddlebred" quirks, such as STUBBORN.  But that was about as bad I ever
experienced with him.
So congratulations!  I'm hoping my green shade will subside (:
All the best
Lynne
