| Last September I took a trip up to Tioga to set my eyes on Hollywood
Dun It. Wow, even cuter than his pictures! He was busy eating
dinner
but kind enough to turn around and welcome us. He was very friendly
and so very handsome. You just knew this horse was well cared for;
he
was definitely somebody's baby. I made the trip because I wanted to
meet this amazing athlete and sire before he went on to greener
pastures. I am thankful I was able to meet him. We just came back from north Texas Sunday night. We had made another trip up to McQuay Stables Saturday and I saw the other extreme. An empty stall. I had told my mom, "Look, this is were he was." We just stared. I looked at all the other stallions....but I kept coming back to his empty stall. Well.....although he is gone you still can't help but smile when you think of how beautiful he was and what he has done for the quarter horse world. I may not own a Dun It, but I feel great knowing that I met him. Thank you to McQuay Stables for giving people the opportunity to visit your facilities and meet these wonderful beings.

My friend has imported from
Australia to New Zealand "Ok Who Dun-it", and he looks just like
Hollywood Dun-it. If you want to see pics of him go to
www.gbstud.co.nz
and look under stallions. He is a rising 3 year old and shows
huge potential for our reining breeding.

legend....and I tell you...its also hard to me know that
Hollywood its gone.....
I send you a lot of luck. Also I
ask you, can I put something at my web page, to make the people
of Chile know and remember the grate Hollywood dun It.
Sorry about my spelling, I'm not

Thanks for all
My condolences, Sincerely

I am so sorry for your loss of the greatest stallion there ever was. Like many, that breyer model was my ‘first horse’ and I would look at him every night and know that one day I would find my dream horse. I’m thrilled to say that my dream finally came true when I purchased my first real horse, a tall, beautiful, yellow buckskin daughter of Hollywood Dun It. “Merc” is more than I could have ever hoped for. She pulls in purple’s and plaques without flinching, and she’s so fine tuned to me that I only have to think a command and she’s right on top of it. She’s the spitting image of her father in both looks and mannors. She excels in every new thing I put her through. Thank you so much, because without you two and your exquisite Dun It, I would never have had this chance. He was one of God’s gifts to the horse world. I’m so so very sorry. Emily & Merc |

Dear Tim & Colleen, we are so sorry for
your loss as well as the worlds loss of such an awesome
horse...we were fortunate to meet him in person a few years back
at your ranch and I have to say that we were in awe of him in
his stall...he was everything we had hoped he would be...we
brought our mare to be bred an she stayed with you for a while,
your staff was really very nice & patient with me and my phone
calls about my baby staying there a few months and took pictures
of "Him" in the pastures as well as my mare during her stay...we
were very thankful for that...with that breeding we were blessed
with a colt that is now in training with Andrea Frappini, then
we bred my mare to Dun It a second time and was blessed with a
filly (picture of "Nico" Dunicolena attached at 2 years old and
"Holly" MissBHavinNHollywood (name pending) at 2 months old). I
have to tell you that both babies are exactly the same in color
& personality...they both have the great disposition that Dun It
had...and we are keeping them both...Hollywood Dun It was such
an awesome reining icon he can never ever be replaced, he will
be in all of our hearts forever...
God Bless,
Andy & Cheri Kline

Dear Tim and Colleen, I was stopping by your site as usual one afternoon daydreaming about which yearling filly I would buy when I found out that Hollywood Dun It had passed away. I could not believe it was an end of an era, as great legend had passed on. I cried and cried as he has always been my dream sire to breed my reining mare to. I had just graduated college and was finally getting started with my dreams of reining and starting my very own breeding program. I wanted to share with the both of you a funny goal that our family had thought about.... We had always wanted our breeding program to be based on Hollywood Dun It. So, we had been waiting for a nice reining mare of mine to finish her training and start her show career so we could breed her to Hollywood Dun It. We had even picked out the names of the first few horses...lol...Monkey Dun It would be our stallion and down the road once he had proven himself he would sire Monkey Spun It and Monkey See and even Monkey Do and so on. We laughed many evenings over this idea and even came up with a monkey line of reining equipment that would wear a funny little monkey silhouette to mark each piece. Anyways, I know the names are somewhat peculiar but we always got a kick out of the idea and thought the reining industry could use a different variety of equine names. I just wanted to share this with the two of you because even though it is kind of a comical idea, dreams are made from horses like Hollywood Dun It. The industry has lost one of its greatest sires, but I know his spirit and athleticism will live on in all of his offspring. He has had the unique ability to stamp his get, and you can always pick out a Dun It! Thank you both for introducing such wonderful sire to the performance world. Sincerely, Kelly Herron |

It saddened me to hear of his passing, as
I begin to hear so much about him on message boards like
horsecity.com. My dad and I decided to check out a horse auction
a few months ago, and either one of daughters or a mare in foal
to him went through. It saddened me when the mare only reached
$400. Apparently, not a lot of people knew what it meant to have
Hollywood's blood in a horse. If I could've talked my dad into
it, we would've bought her. It broke my heart to see all these
"horse people" not even realize what kind of success the horse
could give them. You were right in putting him down instead of
letting him suffer. I know it is a great loss for the stables,
but his legacy will be carried out by his sons and daughters.
"My patience lies in those that don't say a word. Those that can see into my soul as I can see into their's. With a horse, no word is said." -Traci Pursell 2005 |

We have a grandson
of Hollywood Dun It. He is by Zan It, a gorgeous stallion who
possess a lot of Dun Its traits. It's sad to see such a nice
horse pass away. But there is no doubt that with sons of Dun It
out there like Zan It, his legacy will live on. My two year old
colt "Zan Its Miracle" is a fine example of all the reasons why
Hollywood Dun It's are so desirable. This colt is such an
awesome horse. He is a true gentleman. He loves people &
pleasing you. He tries so hard for you. Not only is he one of
the smartest colts I've ever had the privilege of owning, but he
is drop dead gorgeous. It's easy to look at him & tell his
bloodlines. He was started under saddle by Dan Twombly in NB, &
after just sixty days he was being ridden bridleless in the
arena around other horses & behaving like he had a year on
him. We have big plans for him. Hollywood Dun It definitely
marked this colt. Keep a look out for him, I think he'll make
you proud.
God Bless,
Michelle Broadway

Mr. and Mrs. McQuay:
I have been one of Hollywood Dun It's number one fans since I
heard of him years ago. I followed his career with great
fascination and it was always one of my biggest dreams to own a
horse with Dun It breeding. This past spring, my wildest dreams
came true and I was able to purchase a grandson of Hollywood Dun
It from Tom Davis at The Davis Ranch In Brigham City, Utah.
Another of my dreams has been to show in reining. I believe this
may come true for me, and I truly believe my beloved little
palomino horse will help me get there. I am blessed. I will
always remember Hollywood Dun It, The Master, and hope to be
part of the group that carries on his legendary name.
Sincerely,
Phyllis Stuart
