WOW...I should have waited till you were done posting all your pics LOL! Sorry.
What a nice BIG rig for hauling the beauties!!! I would be in awe of horses that stout. I have never seen them in person but would love to! Thanks for sharing, Judy!

Very much ready to head south :-) YES, please do come with us!! We'd love the company and I don't cook so that means you don't have to cook either LOL!

Have a great week, next week!

Beautiful pictures and animals. Sue get to see them fairly regularly. If she has a blood drive at the Budweiser plant she always visits the Clydesdales.

Judy, thanks for the pictures, they are magnificent. I thought the only budwiser clydesdales were at sea world in San Diego? You mean there are more? lol ;-) They are so beautiful, we always spend a little time at the "hospitality center" [read free beer} at Sea world, then go visit the ponies:-)

I wonder who brushes thier feet/paws/hoofs?

Again, thanks for sharing.

Awesome pictures, Judy! Thanks for sharing them with us, been a long time since I saw those horses. I forgot how huge they really are. :-)

Thanks so much Judy for sharing these beauties.
Since I am living in warmer regions I tend to forget how great (in the broadest sens) these war-bred horses are. The horses I am used to now are the Paso Fino bred. also beautiful but way smaller.

BoatChick, you want to see more of these? Go and visit Great Brittan and the Netherlands. They still use different kinds of the type and not only for show.

I stood once between a few and even my glorious body looked tiny ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Awww, I love Clydesdales. Thanks for sharing those pictures:-)

In answer to your question Cynde... I think Budweiser has at least 4 "hitches" of horses... one in St. Louis, one at Busch gardens, one on the West Coast and at least one other. I'd love to be up on that wagon driving them :-) What a rush that would be!
