Dear McQuay Stables, Hello My name is Am Thornhill and I am from GroveHill Alabama. Hollywood Dun It has always been my all-time favorite horse and will always be. When I saw that he was put down I broke out in tears. I had been working on a letter to send you in the mail for about a month, telling you what a wonderful and amazing horse you had. He will never be forgotten. Hollywood Dun It has been one of the most influential sire and all-around horse I have ever seen. I think everyone who ever saw him fell in love. Hopefully his legacy will be carried on though one of his gorgeous foals. My deepest
sympathy, |

am so sorry to hear about the loss of Hollywood Dun It. The
horse world has certainly lost a founding father. No horse
will ever be able to compare to the beauty and talent he possessed.
I know just how close to family a horse becomes, and my guess is
that he was a cherished pet first and foremost. Probably much
more. I send my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Brittany |

Dear Tim and Colleen,
I wrote to you several days ago about Hollywood Dun It and told you about my new colt and how he was an answer to a prayer. I wanted to share these photos with you because I feel he shows best the disposition that Hollywood Dun It passes on. Though I never had the opportunity to see Hollywood Dun It in person I fell in-love with his son Hollywooddunit Again for his calmness as well as athleticism, to find out that this was inherited by his sire, 'Hollywood Dun It'. As you can see by the photos he is very much everyone's little man so to speak. The 1st photo of my son Justin, age 15, 2nd both sons Justin and Jamie, dogs and his mom Precious, 3rd my son Jamie, age 14 and his dog that mothers absolutely everything, 4thly, Myself with my little-bit of heaven. I hope that you enjoy the photos! Sincerely Sonja Taylor, Cherokee Ranch, Covington, La

I am at work and looking at horse
sights during the midnight shift. I am saddened to discover the
worlds loss of Hollywood Dun It. A reminder to everyone out there,
do not put things off, if you are going to do something do it in
good time. For the past 2 years my wife and i have planned to drive
from western Canada to Tioga Texas to meet and view this magnificent
animal in February of 2006. It takes great effort to achieve or see
greatness, even in passing Dunit has taught me.
My
condolences |

Dear Tim & Colleen,
I sat down just tonight
with my newest edition of Horse Illustrated and when I read the
page announcing the passing of (what I feel is) the greatest
horse on this entire earth I was brought to tears. I had always
dreamed of seeing this stunningly beautiful stallion and of
breeding my dun mare to him but it will remain a dream and I
will always love this horse at least I have the breyer version
of him to cherish for forever. I am truly sorry for your lose,
but ever so thankful that he didn't have to suffer.

Dear Tim and Colleen,
A friend just sent me this link to your website and encouraged me to send you this picture of a Dun It daughter I bought last year after the futurity. I'm sure you will remember her as I bought her from Frank Costantini and he told me she had spent time in training at your place. I think this picture, which was taken in Tampa, FL, earlier this year shows some of Dun It's best qualities. He certainly "stamped" this daughter out of Pretty Nifty BH, with his gorgeous head, color and huge stop. I always have to laugh when people ask me how she is bred - it looks pretty obvious to me! Although I was sad to learn of Dun It's passing, I couldn't think of a better time to own a nice daughter of him. Please accept my condolences and I hope to see all of you at the Congress.

I am so sorry for your loss....
I broke down in tears when I read he was gone. I can't imagine
the grief you are having to deal with, and I do applaud you for
making the decision for Hollywood Dun It not to suffer. That
is a gift you gave back to him.....
I have followed him in the news
for a VERY long time... and just started a small breeding
operation 3 years ago..... he was my "dream sire"..... the one
I choose, "when I make it", to breed one of my mares too.....
his legend will live on through his progeny and there are a lot
of GREAT ones to choose from to fulfill my dream....
There will never be another
Hollywood Dun It, and he will never be forgotten......
God Bless you and keep you
through your grief... look to Him for your comfort, and you will
feel His comfort from above and feel one GREAT STALLION shining
down on you....

Dear Tim and Colleen,
I love to tell friends about
our visit to McQuay Stables. Everybody says that my eyes light
up and my smile broadens as I tell them about that special day.
Meeting Hollywood Dun It was amazing. For me, it was like
meeting the world's most famous movie star. He had a regal
presence, yet was so very sweet and kind.
We are proud to own a
look-alike yearling son. He is an absolute treasure living on
our farm! I like to think that Hollywood Dun It can look down
from his pasture in heaven and keep watch over him.
I cry tears of joy for
everybody that was lucky enough to have Hollywood Dun It as a
part of their lives.
Sincerely,
Becky Gatch-- Platteville, Wisconsin

Dear Tim and Colleen,
I am so sorry about your loss! I heard
the day after, and my eyes filled up with tears!
You say that 'when you believe in a
Hollywood Dun It, dreams come true.' Those words are strong
and can't even begin to explain my life since a Dun It
walked into my life! My dream for reining and owning a Dun
It began in '98 when I got my favorite Breyer horse and Dun
It has sat in my window, alone, as my inspiration to reach
for the stars and turn my dreams into reality. Also, as
symbol of my goal to build a reining stallion from the
ground up. Late '03 I bought a beautiful son of Dun It With
A Twist. Since 'Romeo' has walked into my life, my dream
began soaring and opportunities have began paving my road
for the future. He is everything a Dun It should be and
more. He is the most affectionate animal I have ever owned,
seen or been blessed to know. He is a barn favorite of more
than 40 horses. He is so intelligent! In fact, after starting
a Dun It, I don't really want anything but Dun It's. They
are amazingly bright individuals. And, talent! Wow! Not to
mention, he's a 3 year old stallion. But, when it all comes
down to it, I believed in a Dun It, and my dreams are coming
true! I truly believe that Hollywood Dun It is one of the
greatest stallions to walk into the reining world and stamp
his signature on so many awesome horses, including his
grandget. We'll all remember Hollywood Dun It for years to
come and he'll never be forgotten. His legacy will live on
and dreams will continue to come true by believing in him.
This is only a yearling picture of our
colt ~ but I'm sure you'll see Dun It and Twist written all
over him. Hope to see you at the NRHA Derby next year!
Take Care,

Dear Colleen and Tim,
I was saddened to hear of your loss of Hollywood Dun It. My
sincere condolences and my thoughts are with you. My life was
truly blessed last October when my husband purchased Yes Ima Dun
It for me. This is my first year showing, and Smokie and I are
having a great season in Florida. He is the most talented,
intelligent and athletic. His personality is amazing and unlike
any other horse I have owned in thirty years of riding and
showing. He is a character, and fulfills my life. We are truly
a team. He is a keeper! I know your loss is irreplaceable.
Please know that his offspring lives on strong, carrying on his
proud character and heritage in such a positive way! I have
included a snap of Smokie and I showing in a Florida Reining
show in Miami this past March 2005. I wish I had a barn full of
Hollywood Dun It's offspring.
Sincerely,
Erin Gonyea
