Meet the Clydesdale

Monday June 30, 2008
Clydesdale mare and X foalThe foal in this photo is "Matters of the Heart" (aka Thor) a Clydesdale X Thoroughbred colt. His mama was a 17 hand Clydesdale who came to live with us until Thor was weaned. She was placid and sweet tempered. Our only complaint was that she ate--a lot! Many people recognize Clydesdales from famous harness teams. The sight of a well matched team of Clydes with their silky leg 'feather' and snappy gaits is unforgettable. Meet the Clydesdale and learn about their history, uses, body type and more.
