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.

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 ~

"All I'd really like to say is you really know how to produce horses and if I can promote the same here it will be good for all of us, I have a lot of horsey folk wanting to see Milly and she really is a class above any I have seen and I am proud to be her mum."

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

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."
