The Stallion:
Thunder is a playful stallion who loves to eat everything. He has an easy going attitude, and passes this onto his foals. His dished head and small ears have a lively and intelligent appearance, and is in porportion to his body. His legs are clean and straight, with small, hardy hooves. Thunder has always excelled in halter classes, being an easy favorite, and his smooth, even gaits, thick mane, long sweeping tail, and flashy action contribute to that greatly. Thunder has the ideal conformation for a miniature, and a great, want to please attitude. His fine traits and intelligence are usually passed on to his foals, making them sought after and valuable. Thunder is currently the highest pointed miniature ever AND the longest standing stallion in HF!

The Lineage:
Thunder's bloodlines aren't particularly known, but he certainly has proven that great things can come from small packages. His sire was a family pet, never shown, and his dam was the mate bought to keep him company. Both Bold Eagle and Three Strikes were successful show horses in county fairs, but never showed on the miniature circuit. However, they are all conformationally correct and stable minded, just like Thunder. Thunder has more than made up for their showing inactivity; he is the highest pointed Miniature in HF and has sired the most foals.
