| Never Bend Better has sired many excellent horses, and we are very proud of all of them. Grey (N.B.B.) is known for passing his size and athletic ability on to his offspring. A gentle nature and excellent character are the most valuable inheritance his children receive. Kate Jackson (age 13), owner of four year old Footloose, wrote us a wonderful letter that is a testament to the extraordinary disposition of Grey's progeny. We have another testimonial from Kim LaCoco. Her horse Adagio (aka Dominic) was Zone and State Champion in Year End Points in the USEF Amateur Owner 18-35 division. Elissa Edson called to tell us about her 2 year old winning best young horse at a show. |

Grey has been bred to many breeds, from warm blood to draught horse to paint, and all with great success. Some of his greatest achievements have been quarter horse blends. His son A Magic Act is a repeat champion, his most recent accomplishments being 1997 AQHA Sr. Working Hunter World Champion and 1998 World Show qualification in Senior Working Hunter, Amateur Working Hunter and Amateur Equitation Over Fences. In 1999 he qualified again for the World Show and won the Amateur Working Hunter class at the Quarter Horse Congress. Dancing Fantacy also qualified the AQHA Youth World Show. |
| Grey's children, whatever their registration, have been successful in a wide variety of areas. His son Felix (TB)consistently scores in the 70's in dressage. His daughter Crimson Abbey (unregistered TB) has accomplished great things in the AHSA show jumping circuit. Another daughter Bonnie Parker was 5th in the AHSA in the Yearling Breeding Division. |

Besides having many top ten finishers in the 3 year old International Hunter Futurity his yearling son Henrico County (AQHA) won the Challenge Series for yearling colts at the International Hunter Futurity. He was in the top 4 for Best Young Horse. Last Babe, who placed in the top ten at the Futurity is now out showing successfully on the circuit. Sir Winston is winning champions and reserves on the A circuit and his full brother Mind Doctor at 4 started eventing and competed 3 times in 2000 and was 4th, 2nd, and 1st in that order competing against as many as 39 horses—most older than he is. |
| MayPearl at age 6 was eventing at preliminary level and never had a cross country error. Dominologist is another top ten finisher at the Futurity. Steel Magnolia a half percheron daughter of Grey is loved and competed successfully by her young rider. Lucky For Me (half trakehner) is competing and winning at eventing. |

Polo Polo a 17hh Pinto has shown successfully over fences and is now developing his dressage skills. Brian and Elaine Morris’s wonderful gray gelding is said to have the potential to go to the top in eventing. Rainey Day was not only in the top ten in the IHF when he was three but now he is showing successfully in the amateur owner hunters and went to the Pony Club Rally with his owner’s son in Colorado and was clean in all the jumper rounds. |
| Even his babies are doing extraordinary things. Maura Phelan informs us that her 6 month old N.B.B. foal likes to jump fences just for the fun of it. The other day he jumped out of a round pen that was 4'6" high because no one was in there with him and he was getting lonely. After he jumped out, she says he walked right up to her as if to say, "Hello! I'm here now!" We regularly get calls and letters from owners that marvel at not only the conformation of their young foals but the wonderful easy going personalities. |
