Thunder II's Pedigree
Thunder II was a palomino gelding who born on the Chincoteague Miniature Pony Farm. There was some dispute as to who his real dam is. It was said he was out of Misty II and formerly named "Salty Mist" as shown on the Misty family tree in the Pictorial Life Story of Misty. However, a photo of Misty II and her 1984 filly proved that he was a son Beebe Breeze.
Thunder II lived on the Pony Farm for the first few years of his life. He was going to take over being the farm breeding sire when Thunder got too old. He was also going to be given to Paul Merritt's granddaughter as a gift, but she wasn't interested in him as a riding mount. In 1988 Thunder II was sold to Mike Pryor of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. Thunder II had been a stallion and Pryor had him gelded so he would be easier to handle around crowds. Thunder II had no offspring. He learned a few tricks including drinking coke out of a can and standing on a stool.
Thunder II traveled to various schools and events including Pony Penning. He was pictured in the book Windy of Chincoteague by Ronald Keiper. Thunder II passed away September 14, 2015 at the ripe old age of 31 after a long bout with cancer.
