Specialty Act

Experience the mighty horse power of the Priefert Percherons. Under the guidance of talented horseman and experienced driver Jason Goodman, the Priefert Percherons have emerged as one of the premier draft horse exhibition attractions in the nation. This amazing team travels coast to coast, bringing their Texas Thunder and Roman Riding performances to arenas and expo centers all across North America. Jason, his wife Rose and their talented staff travel the country with eight massive Percheron draft horses, performing live for over six million people a year.

The ground rumbles with Texas Thunder when Priefert's award-winning six horse hitch enters the arena. Jason guides the horses through a series of impressive maneuvers. This exhibition includes a simulated "docking" of the freight wagon, a skill that was once necessary for the loading and unloading of freight. The performance also includes the team's signature "spin the top", with the horses emerging from the spin at a full gallop known as the stagecoach run. Jason also performs a thrilling Roman Riding act in which he rides standing on the backs of two horses, driving four more in front of him.

The Priefert Percherons have appeared at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the San Antonio Stock Show, the Calgary Stampede, the Denver National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, Cheyenne Frontier Days, Bishop Mule Days, and many other major horse fairs, parades, and PRCA rodeos.
