general Have you ever seen a heavy horse?

Just found a video of 4 heavy horses (I think they're Clydesdales) pulling a truck. Strong indeed .

When I went to Daytona in 2005, I did get to see the Budweiser Clydesdales. That was the only time I've seen horses that big though. They even had the donkey too.

I have did horse riding with this gender of horse .



They are fantastic, elegants, calm.

The arabo frison is more energic and a little less heavy thant the frison.

And yes, I have seen a lot of type of big big horse during my 4 years of horse riding .

You lucky guy. Did you even came close to them?

They didn't let anyone too close to them.

Ow... Seems like they're really protective. I don't think there will happen accidents around them since the clydesdales are known as bomb-proof horses; it's really hard to scare them.

Yep, gotta protect marketing tools for a company that makes a poor excuse of a beer I guess.

What's next, branding a Cutie Mark of the copyright sign on their plots?

I've seen horses before, but I'm not sure what would classify as a heavy horse.

I have not seen a huge horse before.... Also those tent legs! That will do fine on the disco floor!

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,410]

I saw a few horses but no bigger than normal. And they’re always at this park I frequented growing up.

[AppleButt 8,669]

Yup.  I’ve been to Grants Farm in St. Louis where they keep the Budweiser Clydesdales.  They let you pet em and stuff.  Was pretty neat.

If you get a chance to see horse ploughing demonstration at a fair, or somewhere like that, worth a look. Need something that big and strong to pull the plough, and it needs at least two Shires (or equiv). Or can be a team of four, seen that too. Quite awesome.

I read somewhere a shire weighs 1 ton, and can pull 4 tons.

Yeah! I've seen Clydesdales and Shires in person and they're huge! But so sweet and gentle!

Oh, we don't have those fairs.

I know my mom has probably seen horses like that. I could probably ask and she would be able to show me. She knows more about horses (been horse owner etc) then I do.

My grandpa had a Belgian Mare. She was the biggest puppy dog ever. Used a tractor as a chew toy.

[Savygriffs 5,019]

I've seen Clydesdale horses in person before, and aaa they're so pretty and BIG!

They're definitely my favorite type of horse!

[Dreambiscuit 8,022]

I see them all the time when I’m at work. They pull the streetcars up and down Main Street USA. It’s been a while though now.

I actually got to meet a Clydesdale at the now gone Big Thunder Ranch.

The Illinois State Fair has had the Budweiser Clydesdales the last couple of years.

[Splashee 28,537]

I have seen small and large horses
