March 19, 2004 - As the National Reining Horse Association's All Time Leading Sire and only $3 Million sire, Hollywood Dun It is well known for the reining accomplishments of his get. In late February, a son made history in another arena, when Dun It Big, owned by Triple J Ranch and ridden by Jay Holmes, earned the National Reined Cow Horse Association Open Bridle World Championship.

Holmes, of Sarasota, Florida, has only been teamed up with Dun It Big (Hollywood Dun It X Genuine Redbud) since the beginning of his 4-year-old year. But in that short time Holmes and "Dun Bud" have filled a whole paragraph in the trainer's resume.

The team's accomplishments include 2002 AQHA World Show 5th place in Junior Working Cow Horse, 2002 FRCHA Open Hackamore Champion, 2002 NRCHA Reserve Open Hackamore Silver Champion, 2003 AQHA World Show 4th place Junior Working Cow Horse and Finalist in Junior Heading, 2003 FRCHA Open Hackamore Champion, and 2003 NRCHA Eastern Region Open Hackamore Reserve Champion.

But this is the gorgeous young Dun Stallion’s first World Championship. Holmes said, “This horse has long deserved a World Title. I’m glad he has one now.” Likely it will be the first of many to come, as the royally bred stallion has a great mind and lots of tools in his toolbox to ad merchandise to his trophy room. Holmes shows him in calf roping, heading and heeling as well. He competed in all these events at the AQHA World Show, in fact on the way to the NRCHA World Show Holmes made a little side trip to an AQHA show in Jackson, Mississippi where they placed at both ends team roping.

Holmes and Dun It Big showed to a 582 score at the NRCHA World Show, and earned $3,450, as well as that long awaited World Championship Saddle.

Holmes concluded, “He is best at the cow horse events, as he really likes to work a cow. We will definitely be taking him to the World’s Greatest Horseman event this June.”

For Tim McQuay, who owns Hollywood Dun It along with Jennifer Easton of Stillwater, Minnesota, the accomplishment was especially meaningful, and the world's winningest reiner admitted that he was still awed by the great sire's success. "He just keeps on producing good horses," he commented. "I think the key is that they're all so trainable."

McQuay also noted, "We appreciate Jay and Triple J Ranch and all the owners and trainers who continue to give the sons and daughters of Hollywood Dun It the opportunity to be good horses."

Hollywood Dun It resides at McQuay Stables, Inc. of Tioga, Texas, where he stands as the senior sire. By Hollywood Jac 86 and out of Blossom Berry, an own daughter of Dun Berry, Hollywood Dun It was the 1986 National Reining Horse Association Futurity Reserve Champion, the 1987 NRHA Derby Champion and the Superstakes Champion. He was inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame and in 2000 became the first-ever Breyer reining horse collectible model.
