The Budweiser Clydesdales are an American icon and one of the world’s most recognized brand symbols. Beginning this summer, they are traveling to communities across the country to military events and venues in support of Anheuser-Busch’s partnership with Folds of Honor. Through its scholarship program, Folds of Honor ensures that families of fallen or disabled U.S. service members and families of first responders receive educational opportunities and support.
Horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least three years of age, stand approximately 18 hands – or six feet – at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, must be bay in color, have four white legs, and a blaze of white on the face and black mane and tail. A gentle temperament is very important as hitch horses meet millions of people each year.
I have never seen the official Clydesdales but remember being down in the Weatherford area & saw a field that had about half a dozen colts. Beautiful.
