| The Clydesdale Horse |
| "No foot - No Horse" |
| ||||||
The Old saying "No Foot - No Horse" is as true today as it was years ago, especially for the Scottish bred Clydesdale. This horse has been noted for its farm contribution; the horse was mixed with the strongest of horses to make a perfect draft horse. It was named after the region it came from in Scotland, now known as Lanarkshire. The saying mentioned above came into play when the Scottish farmers wanted perfection, and spent years developing hte feet and legs of the draft horse we know and use today. For an animal of the Clydesdale's size and weight, it is amazing how easily it is controlled. The particular breed of horse has an exceptionally quiet temper. Their popularity has been maintained throughout the years. A perfect clydesdale should have an open forehead and a wide muzzle. The neck should be long and arched, and they should have high withers. Big knees are important because this breed is commonly used for farm work. When you look at a Clydesdale, you should have the impression of strength and activity, with a minimum of excess tissue. |
