Where Are They Now?

Where Are They Now?
Since our web site www.pruntyhorses.com began in 2001, our horse sales have increased greatly, as have the areas to which we have sold horses. The majority of the horses have stayed in Nevada, with the biggest concentrations of buyers being from the Las Vegas and Reno areas. As horse breeders, the greatest compliment we can receive is to have repeat buyers, and for the word-of-mouth "advertising." Thank you to all the buyers who have contributed to the success of our web site and our horse program. A number of the buyers have allowed us to share pictures of themselves and their purchases. This section is a tribute to all of you and your horses.

Hi Kyla,

I bought a horse from you last late October and I thought I would give you an update on him!

Well when we bought him his name was spunky and I changed it to Westley! I am just totally in love with him!! He is 14.1 hands now!! I started breaking him a couple of weeks ago and he is doing great!!

He is such a smart boy I cannot believe it. Really, I am sooo glad I bought him!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Two horses are owned by Tom Dobson, Reno NV.

The one he's riding is YY2006-9h "Jo Jo".
The grulla pinto is G2007-11f, "Halo".

The mare G2007-11f "Halo" (owned by Tom Dobson) was bred to a Holsteiner stallion named Balou Bey, (left above)and had this pinto foal (above center). The stallion is quite a jumper, and apparently, Halo is too...her photo was featured on a soda label (above right). Weird... never would have thought we were raising jumpers that would be on beverage bottle labels!!

2007 filly, Chex Olena Patience, owned by Geri Gibbons of Fernley, NV
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 Patience is doing fabulous. I wanted a smaller horse and by gosh I've got one. She's been with the trainer for the past 3 months and will come home the end of this month. She's moving shoulders, hips, and laterally with just the softest of ques. She stops on a dime and the trainer is impressed with her natural ability. In the beginning, he felt that her body type was too heavy and her legs too far apart to be agile and move quickly for cutting, but she's so strong and willing that's she's a real natural. He did find that she has a little buck in her so hopefully she'll get over it sooner than later. I miss her and look forward to bringing her home. Finances permitting, she'll go back to the trainer in February for another 3 months. ~ Geri ~

> Hey Kyla, the filly is doing great. My brother in law came and got her that evening (we are heading for the show in about 10 min) and on wed he was picking up her feet, sacked her out, and ponied her down
the road. He said she is doing great and super willing we are very happy :) Thanks again

RL2006-2h, "Luke," is owned by Angela Manuel of Murphys, CA

Luke has completed basic mounted patrol training, and is shown above going through a smoke screen, onto a bridge, with sirens blaring and flares hissing. The .357 magnum pistol being fired didn't even bother him.

RL2004-15h, called PJ (for Pride and Joy.) Owner is Marilee Foote, Mountain Home, Idaho.

I bought PJ (Pride and Joy), aka Pony Boy, from you in August/October 2005. I wanted to let you you know he's a real treasure...just as gentle as can be. He is good medicine for my two mares. He was at the trainer for only 30 days and ready to go.
Thanks so much, Marilee Foote

Thank you for our beautiful babies. They are such a joy and do work with every ounce of energy and enthusiasm as the finest athletes, yet are as calm and gentle as a newborn kitten."

Shanty (YY2000-6h) (on left in photo) and Ruby (YY1999-12f) owned by Phil and Jeanne Fingar, Gardnerville, Nevada "Shanty is a complete gentle spirit-his name is Hebrew for Peace/Calm. He is quiet with small children and very outgoing. He out walks any horse on the property when we go for trail rides. He is a joy and a pleasure and our dream horse. Everyone asks where we found such a beautiful, well behaved gentleman. We plan to start him on cattle this fall for fall roundup and looking forward to many years of good Ranch & Trail riding.
This photo shows his first real trail ride out into Faye Luther Canyon. He did PERFECT. He is just cutting his 3 year old teeth and is still growing. You & your family raise the greatest trail horses. Even rode him on a narrow ledge for about 1/8 mile climbing up and then back down. He never missed a step." "Ruby (on right in photo) takes to cattle like a heat seeking missile. Phil is the trainer and loves his horse with all his heart. Ruby is a Morgan cross and stout and climbs mountains like a mountain goat. There is nothing she doesn't excel at."
"We always say check 'Prunty Web site' at www:pruntyhorses.com. THANK YOU so very much."

YY Make Mine Monita 2010 Photo

Hi, Becky-- I know it's been awhile but I wanted to say hello and send you an update on Sofie. I've attached a photo of her taken last week. Because of my crazy job situation (I've have three jobs--one research and two teaching-- since I moved to NM) she still isn't trained, but this summer I have all summer to work with her. Her personality has not changed at all, she is always giving me the hairy eyeball like she thinks I am very strange. Compared to the other two, she is very laid back. She's has a couple of bad accidents, first tore up her shoulder, then ripped up one leg, but she's still sound and beautiful. She toes in in the back, although she stands correctly, so I just try to keep compensating for that in her trims. It helps that her feet are so tough. Other than that, she is pretty much perfect. I think she will make a great trail horse, so I'm looking forward to finally making that happen.

YY Make Mine Monita ("Sofie") is owned by Shannon Rupert of Mora, New Mexico. Sofie is a 2005 AQHA filly out of Beaus Peppy Lady and by JP Little Elmer Chex. Shannon says: "Thank you again for such a wonderful filly."

Scout (RL2000-2h) Owned by Lisa Housen, Los Lunas, NM: “We are really enjoying Scout. He is a great horse; just wonderful, and has impressed everyone who meets him with his gentle disposition and willing attitude. He is fast, quick, and very cowy.”

G2001-10h and YY2001-8f Owned by Guy Parker, Sanger CA: “Both horses are doing very fine…the filly was a real steal. Both have lead changes that are out of this world, and are so calm around roping it’s unreal. I am very happy!”
