Clydesdale | Shires | Percheron | Suffolk Punch | Essex Police | Carriage Driving

The Clydesdale is a breed of draught horse from Scotland named after the region and traditionally used for pulling heavy loads. After the Second World War the high levels of agricultural productivity could only be attained using tractors and sadly, horses were replaced by mechanical power. The breed remains 'at risk' with approximately 700 registered brood mares in the UK and about 100 registered stallions. Today, however, more and more people are using Clydesdales not just for showing and driving, but for farm work, horse logging and even riding; all of which will help to preserve this handsome, powerful horse.
