Tommy & Tony the Clydesdales. I have driven them but am not in this video.
Clydesdales are usually around 18 hands, and weigh about one ton each!
Farmers living in the 19th century along the banks of the River Clyde in Lanarkshire, Scotland, bred the Great Flemish Horse, the forerunner of the Clydesdale. These first draft horses pulled loads of more than one ton at a walking speed of five miles per hour. Soon their reputation spread beyond the Scottish borders.
In the mid 1800s, Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to the United States where the draft horses resumed their existance on farms. Today, the Clydesdales are used primarily for breeding and show.
@EmmonsLL3 Thanks! No, they are at an expo, doing a driving demo. I love the Belgians too, I have a 1/2 Belgian I love!
