| The Clydesdale is a breed of draft horse named after and derived from the very hard-working farm horses of Clydesdale (now Lanarkshire), Scotland. They are perhaps most famous for their use as the mascot of beer company Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser brand.
Thought to be over 300 years old, the breed was once extensively used for pulling heavy loads in both rural and urban settings in the Commonwealth and United States. Today, the Clydesdale's most significant presence is in exhibition and parade.
With an estimated global population of just 5,000 individuals, the Clydesdale is recognized by the Rare Breed Survival Trust as "at risk". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
