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.
