 Thunder is the stage name for the horse who is the official live animal mascot for the Denver Broncos football team . Three purebred Arabians have held this role since 1993 , all gray horses whose coats lightened with age until they turned completely white . Sharon Magness @-@ Blake has owned all three horses , and Ann Judge has been their rider since 1998 and trainer since 1999 . As of 2016 , Thunder has appeared in four Super Bowls with the team since 1998 . The original Thunder performed in Super Bowl XXXII and Super Bowl XXXIII and Thunder III appeared in Super Bowl XLVIII and Super Bowl 50 . Thunder III also made appearances in Times Square and on television morning news shows in New York City as part of the pre @-@ game promotion for Super Bowl XLVII . He routinely appears in parades , makes hospital and school visits , and attends various other public functions . He has been flown on airplanes , ridden in elevators , and appeared indoors at press conferences and banquets .

 The team mascot was Mr Q , described as " a flat @-@ looking cartoon man with a very big hat " . In 2006 , he was joined , and later replaced , by Darlo Dog , a Dalmatian , who was once ejected from the ground for climbing on the advertising boards in front of television cameras . Darlo Dog retired at the end of the 2009 – 10 season ; his successor , a panda named Feethams , was chosen via a design competition .

 The stallion was kicked by a mare in a 1997 breeding accident , resulting in a fracture that required two arthroscopic surgeries on his stifle , akin to knee surgery on a human , and was out of commission for six weeks ; another two months was needed before he could gallop at full speed . Following his recovery , he resumed his mascot duties and appeared at Super Bowl XXXII in January 1998 . He served as the Broncos mascot for 11 years and was retired in 2004 after developing arthritis , which made it difficult for him to gallop down the field . He continued to make community appearances until his death in 2009 at age 27 .

 Thunder 's duties as mascot typically include leading the team onto the field at the start of every home game , and a gallop down the length of the field whenever the team scores a touchdown or field goal . Thunder and his rider also interact with fans before the game ; the horse is particularly popular with children , who are allowed to pet him . The horses who have served as Thunder need to remain calm in situations that would normally frighten most horses , such as being in football stadiums with thousands of cheering fans , exploding pyrotechnics , cheerleaders waving pom @-@ poms , and other spectacles common to National Football League ( NFL ) games . Thunder shares mascot duties with Miles , a human who wears a horse head mask atop a Broncos uniform .
