WHY ARE CLYDESDALES POPULAR?
The majority of Clydesdales kept at present are used for breeding and showing. Those who are keen on driving for educational or promotional purposes are increasing in number and they usually use geldings. In these more eco friendly and aware times, horses are being used again in environmentally sensitive areas for extracting timber or for carrying out haulage work. Some horses too are also used in the ‘Wedding Industry’ for conveying brides to church – it looks ever so good in the photographs!
