Additional Comments
Thunder is such a fun boy to have around and turns heads everywhere he goes! He absolutely loves people and has a phenomenal personality. Thunder rides English and western and has a great handle and stunning gaits. He will happily just walk the trails but he also can stop on his butt like a little cow pony or take jumps like a warmblood. Thunder is safe both on the ground and under saddle (or bareback) with my toddler. Of all of the horses here, Thunder is the one that I trust the most with the littles.... (read more) They can get him out of the pan and lead them by themselves with his head low to the ground and attentive to what they’re doing, where they’re going, and if they are going to stop without warning to pick a flower. He is traffic safe, not bothered by load noises, will ride with a group or by himself just the same, and is happy go lucky and always up for an adventure. He's confident and sure footed making him the ultimate trail companion in any terrain. He is an absolute statue for the farrier and has GREAT feet but we do keep him shod all the way around because we are so rocky and I want him always in pristine condition from his feet to his long flowing mane and tail. Thunder is a sucker for a bath and spa day. We keep him up in braids and bags which makes maintaining his luscious locks a breeze but when it’s time for a fresh set, he will ground tie and eat up the attention until you tell him you’re done. Thunder works great on the walker, lunges like a perfect gentleman, and is light and responsive both on the ground and under saddle. He is a very quiet and confident horse so you don’t ever have to worry about him fidgeting or not standing still no matter what is going on. He doesn’t care if other horses walk off and leave him and is much more a people horse than he is herd bound. Thunder has been ridden English and is a natural over jumps and would make a stellar foxhunting and/or dressage prospect. He has all the brains and movement to do just about anything someone desired plus has been exposed and has such a willing to learn and please mind. Thunder knows where his feet are and for a big thick guy, he can really pull off some fancy moves. This gentle dude has even been the STAR in a movie that is coming out later this year. They used drones, had gun battles, and multiple people riding him. He even was used to walk through the “dead” bodies and was trusted to not accidentally really unalive one of the actors! I don’t know what else you could really ask for in a horse and best friend. If I didn’t make a living selling horses, he would never leave!! However, now that he is a finished horse, he will be on the back burner to all the up and coming colts that need my attention more than he does. I will without a doubt own another turbo friesian in the future. The last couple years with him have been so fun and a different tune than training speed event horses. He is a breath of fresh air and has such a fun loving sweet disposition.
Note; The current video is from early spring. I had decided to keep him a little longer so pulled him off the market but will be redoing his video soon and adding a ton of stuff!! Main picture was taken on September 15th.

Thunder would fit a lot of different people but I want the best home possibly for him where he will be a personal horse and get all of the love and attention he deserves. We are more than happy to FaceTime you :)

Gehring Performance Horses
I took a bit of a break after having my son and sold several personal horses. That being said, I have missed training so will be keeping a few at a time, just not at many as before with a wild little toddler to chase around now. We take pride in offering high quality performance horses as well as family friendly trail companions. Everything that steps foot on this place has to be 110% safe under saddle as well as on the ground because my little boy thinks they all can be drug around the same as his ponies.... (read more) They are put through it all and if there is a hole, we will find it!! Our horse are never just arena horses, they are ridden on the roads and through town, by multiple riders including my toddler, are hauled everywhere to ride because there is no riding facility at my place with all the rock. My son loves to lead them around on foot, on his bike, or even from one of his many battery operated vehicles. A great mind no matter their job is always our first priority!! Be sure to check out our videos on youtube as we try to show absolutely everything we can so you feel like you know them before you ever bring your new horse home. Most of our buyers purchase and ship them off of their videos so we aim to be as comprehensive as possible. Don’t ever hesitate to ask if you want to see something that isn’t shown also. We also have a website and a facebook page that you can follow and see horses before they hit the market for the public. A lot of our horses never make the internet! Call anytime!
