Budwiser Clydesdale Horses Up Close
I took the tour today and the architecture is by far the most impressive of many of these old world bottling plants but even more impressive is these giant horses that can pull many tons.

I have a 7/8 Percheron gelding that a “trainer” tried to break to drive…He couldn’t break him to do it after 5 months of trying. He brought him back to me and said I should take him to the auction. That was 2 years ago. He made a heck of a trail horse! Very sure footed!!

so glad my draft has a tail!!!!

they dont dock them, they just shave the dock! thats it! no pain made
If you ever see a …
If you ever see a shire that is worked it will have a docked or cut or bound tail. This is a fact. Its done for safety. Though obviously if you have a shire that isn’t used for pulling then your unlikely to do this.
yes i would want …
yes i would want one to swat flies too but they are also bred to have it and yes some horses get their tails docked but you can breed a draft for riding and most of the time they will have very short tails.. they are bred too but this arguement is stupid anyways so i will agree with you to a point because some horses get theirs docked and some are born with short tails
I hate to break it …
I hate to break it to ya.. but tails are docked often on the draft breeds. I think it is unfortunate as I would want a tail for fly swatting.. but they do dock them and it was done for the purpose of not getting wrapped up in whatever they are pulling. They do it when they are very young.
lmao!
lmao!

if i were a hose i would want a tail
Totally agree- I …
Totally agree- I ride a beautiful Clydesdale/shire mixture, very heavy and incredible under the saddle. She’s a joy to ride and hacks out beatifully. We don’t use her for driving at all she’d completely freak out!
About tails again.. …
About tails again…
All horse breeds have short tails, but they grow long hair on their tails. Clydesdales are no exception. Search the web and you will find lots of pictures of Clydesdales with long tails.
But, when you are driving a horse, it is quite common to either shorten the tail or bind it up. The problem with a long tail isn’t that it gets tangled in the harness, but that it could deflect the reins when they wisk it around. So you often shorten it while driving, for safety reasons.
They’re big and …
They’re big and definitely strong, but they have a harder time texting than most horses. Nearly 60% of all equine fatalities while driving are Clydesdales texting their girlfriends. When will it stop?
CLYDESDALES are …
CLYDESDALES are bred to have short tails so they dont dock them!!! if you see clydesdales foling the foals dont have big tails!! and its all in the genetics
That’s not really …
That’s not really true. You could take a look at Shires, or Irish cobs (the ones you call Gypsy vanner in the US). They are all bred for work and pulling carts, but they have long, beautiful tails.
just going by what …
just going by what I was told by the man who owns 3 of them for his logging business. And when I ask, how do they ride? He answered my reply…so sorry,not niave, just well informed!!
very niave point of …
very niave point of view there. heavy horses are by far the most impressive under saddle
they are bred for …
they are bred for work horses(PULLING) not bread for riding
They dock the tails …
They dock the tails so they do not get in the harness. The flies are a small problem but they invented fly spray. They do grow long tails but for pulling its a hazzard.
they dont dock …
they dont dock their tails… all the draft and pulling breeds dont grow long tails!!! its all in their genetics!!!! you can have a newborn clydsedale and never dock the tail and it would still be short
tales are docks so …
tales are docks so they don’t get suck in the harness
Why do they …
Why do they amputate their tails? The flies must be HELL
