About Us

The Clydesdale is a breed of draft horse derived from the very hard-working farm horses

from Clydesdale (now known as Lanarkshire, Scotland) and named for that region. Thought

to be over 300 years old, the breed was extensively used for pulling heavy loads in rural, industrial

and urban settings, their common use extending into the 1960s when they were a still a familiar sight

pulling the carts of milk and vegetable vendors. The modern Clydesdale horse stands between

16 and 19 hands and weighs from 1600 to 2200 lbs. Three words -- " Strength, agility and docility" --

depict in brief the main characteristics of the Clydesdale. The combination of vivid body colors,

bright white faces, and long white "feathered" legs with high stepping gate and a head held

high leave no question that you are looking at a Clydesdale. The most common body color is

bay, followed by black, brown, and chestnut. Popular markings are four white socks to the knees

and hocks, and a well-defined blaze or bald face.
