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.

Two horses below 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, (center below)and had this pinto foal (fourth below). The stallion is quite a jumper, and apparently, Halo is too...her photo was featured on a soda label (below right). Weird... never would have thought we were raising jumpers that would be on beverage bottle labels!!

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 ~

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

I thought you would like to see how great those Prunty horses
are. Here is a current picture I took today of Cade riding her. He
is 9 years old. She crawls up those rocks so well, Cade has her traveling
all over the place. Isn't she beautiful. Not shabby for a two year old!!!
Thanks again for letting us have the opportunity to own her. By the way,
we had to ditch the cowboy hat as it was really windy and it kept flying
off! Talk to you soon. Kim

Ruby & Sweety must have traveled 40-50 miles each Sat., Sun. & Mon. through rough terrain and pouring rain and gusting winds…everyone was impressed by the heart and stamina and natural reasoning both of our horses displayed on this trip. 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."

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."

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.
