I didn't think that they did, but according to this website, this brand does contain Copper: DATASHEET: RANCH HOUSE LICK 'N GOOD MULTI-MINERAL SALT BLOCK | United Salt Corporation (USC) | Houston | Texas | United States

Alot of horses will fade in the sun... no big deal unless you show. She'll mature and will have her full growth by 5 years old.

Keep a white salt block, and a brown trace mineral block out for her. She'll only take what she needs.. and as always plenty of fresh clean water.

With good groceries you shouldn't really need to feed a ton of supplements. I'd add a probiotic supplement if her feed does not have that in it. Amazing what good food will do, and is actually more cost effecient in the long run instead of buying the cheap feed and having to add supplements to it.

A commisioner from the Racking Horse Breeders Association Of America came out to the farm yesterday to do her registration and said she was liver chestnut....Would everyone agree with this?

I was just going to suggest liver chestnut :) Often times they start out as babies looking smokey black but then turn out to look like this:
