Clydesdale

Clydesdale is a breed of large draft horse originating from Scotland, known for its strength, gentle temperament, and distinctive appearance. They typically stand 16 to 18 hands tall (about 5.3 to 6 feet at the shoulder) and have a muscular build with a broad chest. Recognized for their impressive size and powerful legs, Clydesdales are often used for heavy farm work, pulling carriages, and ceremonial events. They feature a glossy coat, often bay with white markings, and are prized for their calm disposition and striking presence. Their combination of size, strength, and gentle nature makes them popular both historically and today.
