Yer Copper Penny
"Penny" is a 2018 AQHA Palomino Mare
Yer Copper Penny is already showing her talent in barrels, winning a check in her very first race. She was purchased in Jan. 2021 by the Verhulst family, who had such great success with half-brother Tuff Vaca Rey that they came back for Penny. Karli is her trainer, although younger sister Claire claimed her for much of the ranch work.
Penny is out of Shiney Vaca Reina, one of Long Pines’ best mothers and producer of outstanding all-around horses. Add to that the proven talent of Bettin Yer Smart, and the possibilities are endless.
Others in Yer Copper Penny’s linage include Vaca Rey, Smart Little Lena, Autumn Boon, Peptoboonsmal, Doc O’Lena and Shining Spark.
Penny was started by Justin Lawrence Cow Horses. She is a full sister to Smart Vaca Rey (Sheba), NRCHA money winner, and Vaca Roulette. Half siblings are high school and college rodeo horse Tuff Vaca Rey and Sterling's Shota Shiney Whiskey, who transitioned from ranch horse to broodmare in 2022.
