Greylins Sun Queen was bought knowing she liked to jump out of her field. We then used this skill of hers and turned her into a jumping pony as you can see by this picture 5ft hedges were not a problem. This mare was only 12.2hh but on the hunting field she grew into a 16.2hh whilst giving the big hunters leads over five bar gates and post and rail fences . Her boldness and bravery for jumping has been passed on to her progeny along with her wonderful character.
Bubbles participated in all pony club activities her winnings include team show jumping and eventing .
Her sire Nebo Brenin is undoubtedly one of the most famous Section D stallions in the world .
