Video - Thunder, the Denver Broncos' Arabian Mascot

This is a really nice video, fairly long. Ann Judge is a successful Arabian show trainer.

Thank you.
I’d seen a shorter version, this was better.
When his rider explains his switching leads was caused by explosions on different sides of him, yeah I could see he was on the verge of losing it :eek:

It is amazing that they are Arabians, no. The reputation they have versus what they can actually do is amazing.

Of course mine liked to play and mess with my head a bit in the shying department.
I really miss him.

I did not know about Thunder and I loved watching the video. Thank you for the post.

Very cool. Beautiful horses. And the rider/trainer obviously has nerves of steel!

I’m not a football fan, but I’ve been around Arabian horses most of my life. Loved this! What a cool story.

The crappy thing is that, here in Denver, they never show the horse on the TV game broadcasts. A glimpse once in awhile if the commercial is a short one. Grrrrr.

That was really cool, even though I live in Seattle and am a Seahawks fan! :wink: I do remember noticing the horse before the Super Bowl kickoff and thinking about how fun it would to ride out leading the team like that…

Such a gorgeous creature! It is great to hear how focused his team is on safety for both humans and horse.

As we own his female “double”, our family are HUGE Thunder fans! Thanks for posting this!

Love it! As a life long Colts fan, now there’s another reason to be jealous of the Broncos!

I wish they would show Thunder on TV more often.

I went to Florida State, where we have a horse, Renegade, as our school symbol.

I am amazed at how desensitized these horses are to the noise, flames, fireworks, fans, and general mayhem of a football stadium. Kudos to the amazing trainers and riders who prepare them so well!
