On national television every Fall season for the past eight years, a prancing white horse has been seen circling the field at the old "Mile High" Stadium when ever the Denver Broncos scored a touchdown. Known as Rocky Mountain Thunder, this 18 year old Arabian stallion stands 15.2 hands high at the withers, and is a son of GG Jabask, out of the mare Kom-Nitah. Trained by Tom Hudson of California and ridden by Ann Wegener of Bennett, CO, Thunder is owned by Sharon Magness, Magness Racing Ventures, Inc. of Evergreen, CO
Enjoying his celebrity status, Thunder has been the Denver Bronco's Mascot since 1993, attended two Super Bowls, and is just about the busiest horse around! Besides enthusiastically performing his mascot duties at each Denver Bronco home game, Thunder makes many appearances at local events. He has appeared as part of the color guard presentation at the National Western Stock Show, The Colorado Chapter of the Volunteers of America's annual Western Fantasy, the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center Champions for Children Dinner, Up With People's Celebration of Peace Banquet and the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame / John Elway Retirement Dinner.
Nice looking pair of kitties there ...
Da Bears - 1st and Goal at the nine
The Burger King prances about too much on the football field for my comfort.
He'll climb into your bed, too...if you let him.
That may be a touchback.
It is a touchback. Panthers on the 20 yard line.
He lost all such home games, didn't he?
Gee, where have I seen this result before?
Oh Yeah... heheheh
Shades of last night...I thought that was a touchback
Throw the red flag John.
You should be half time commentary
No he barely beat Indy in January 1996.
TD call -- but it will be called back but on the 1 YL (due to the PF)
It will be overturned, but with the face mask penalty Carolina starts on the 5.
Challenge? Of Course!
He dropped the ball. Won't the facemask make it all moot?
Here we go *again* ... LOL ...
Golly. It just get worse and worse with these officials.
I don't think it is a touchdown, but with the facemask, a whole new set of downs for Da Pears!
These refs must be Democrats.
