| Dear Mr. and Mrs. McQuay, I am so sorry for the passing of Hollywood Dun It, as I believe him to be the greatest horse the world has ever seen and simply sobbed when I heard the news. My parents gave me the Breyer's horse model of Dun It right after his passing, and my model has seventy-foot long slides nearly every day! I also have my own Dun It granddaughter, Holly Pine Dun It, a daughter of Dun Its Lucky Charm, and she is the most incredible horse. She has her grandfather's loving and gentle nature, and my trainer, Eddie Biegler, and his wife, Dee, laugh that she never even bucked the first time she wore a saddle. We like to say she acts like a princess, not a horse! She, fortunately, also got his looks, and is a beautiful mare with big eyes and tiger-striped legs. She definitely inherited her grandpa's talent, too! I have been showing her in reining in Washington state in the youth 14-18 and rookie classes and my trainer has been showing her in open classes and she sure knows how to win! She also won everything she was entered into as a three year old. The other day during practice Holly Pine and I had a 25 foot sliding stop! She is truly a gift, and we treasure her as part of the family. I am so grateful to you and to Dun It for giving me my darling, talented little mare! Dun It will always have a special place in my heart for his contributions to reining and his contribution to me and my family. Katherine Merck |

Dear Colleen and Tim,
I was really shocked to read in Western Horse that Hollywood
Dun It passes away.
I am so sorry about that.
My condolences from Germany.
I have planned to visit this incredible stallion in October
this year.
He was a legend during his lifetime, now he will be immortal
because all the beautiful memories will keep him alive.
Sincerely
Julia Rustemeier

Hi! I am a big fan of Hollywood, he was a star, the
brightest of them all. I have a signed breyer horse of him.
When I heard that he died my heart stopped as I read on and
how he died. I'm so sorry it was from cancer. I hope his
sons, daughters ..ect are bright beautiful stars just like
him. And hope that the pain goes down a little by all the
supporters.

I have only been in Reining for 5 years mostly riding in the
youth (this will be my last year.) I can't explain how many
posters and magazine cut outs I have of Hollywood Dunit. I
do not own a Dunit because of low budget but I envy those
who do. I sat down at the kitchen table the other day
reading the lastest issue of the Reiner when I saw the
tribute to Hollywood Dunit and I couldn't move after reading
those words. After calling my mom, I walked into my bedroom
where his pictures cover an entire wall ceiling to floor. I
know that he will be remembered and honored for years
to come and I am so thankful that I was able to witness such
as great horse and legacy. Marika Shields, UT |

Hello, my name is Shaun Basch and I live in Michigan. I never got to
see Hollywood Dun It in person, but it had always been one of my
dreams. I fell in love with Hollywood Dun It the moment I saw his
picture on your website. He was gorgeous and I just wish I could've
seen him in action. The funny thing is, a few months after I came
across your legend through the Breyer website I got my first horse.
His name is Boomer's Buckshot (aka Buck) and he's a TB/QH gelding. I
love him more than anything, he's my inspiration. I couldn't imagine
losing him, it would break my heart. I am truly and deeply sorry for
your loss. I may only be 16, but I love to write poetry and was
inspired to write a short poem in dedication to Hollywood Dun It, in
remembrance of him and his accomplishments.
Legends Never Die Warm eyes, Kind heart, Hollywood Dun It made his mark, Warm eyes, Kind soul, With his passing he's left a hole, Our hearts are sad and heavy too, But remembering him, We'll make it through, Full of drive and like a flame, Ambition accompanied fame, Imagining him across the skies, Running free, Powerful slides, Thinking of him in the end, We'll never forget, He was and always will be; A legend Again, I'm deeply sorry for your loss and for the fact this e-mail is a little delayed, I only recently found out he had passed and I cried even though I had never met him. I've been trying to get my hands on a Hollywood Dun It Breyer ever since I got Buck, but now I'm going to search even harder. Best of luck to you all and send my love to Dun Gotta Gun and all the other horses at your stables. ~Shaun Basch~ |

Dear Tim
And Colleen,
I'm
sorry to hear one of my favorite Quarter Horse
stallions has passed
away. I would always go on your web site to see his pictures of Hollywood dun it.
Next year I'm breeding my Arabian mare
to one of his sons ...IMA
DUN KID. I'm excited to
get a Hollywood Dun it blood line in my barn. Tom Redmond
from Wolf Springs Ranch told me Hollywood Dun it puts good
heads on his babies, so I was really excited to hear that.
Sorry again!!

Dear
Tim & Colleen,
When I
heard Hollywood Dun It passed away I was in total shock, like a
horse that big could ever die!
I'm
not into Quarter Horses all my life, but I do know that it was
Hollywood Dun It that made me love the breed, I have seen an
article about him in a magazine and fall in love with him ever
since. Hollywood Dun It proved to be one of the biggest Legends
ever! True so many things.
But it
made me aware of this too, since I was so upset and never seen
him for real, Tim and Colleen, how big is his loss to you
guys..... I can't imagine!!
I
think of Hollywood Dun It so many times! We have a wonderful
grandson of him, his name is VDS Doc N Dun It. He is just
wonderful, I'm sure he will make his grandfather very proud. For
us its the closest to Hollywood Dun It we could ever hope for.
Sincerely,
Patricia Jansen
