What is your favorite thing about Clydesdales?🐎
I just love Clydesdales! So gentle and easy in every way ❤️
Hi! I have horse breed suggestions I don't think you've done yet! The breeds of South Africa!
Including Boerperd ponies and Nooitgedachts. They have a very interesting history, all dating back to the original Cape Horse breed. South Africa is great for horse lovers and I really recommend the experience.
My first pony that I leased was a Boerperd and he had the biggest personality and willingness. I miss him so much. There's a horse at the stables I go to now that's a Nooitgedacht and she's quite the handful! Beautiful grey though.
Absolutely breathtaking. Do gentle and beautiful
For the draft horses I love the Shires and for the breeds that are not draft horses I love pao finos
Such extraordinary horses!! I rode Clydesdales for a few years in New Jersey, USA… Unforgettable in every way!! 🐴♥️🐴
I haven't had the pleasure of riding a Clydesdale, but I would love my brother in law was born in Deeside Scotland. I love the country and sea side.
Its my dream to ride a clydesdale 🥰
So majestic!!! I would love to experience that canter!
I get welled up with emotion watching them!!
Worked with many drafts they’re all mellow. Had a light draft Perch and Belgians. Love them and the mules and donkeys 💗💕💞😍
Blackstone is just a wee bit doon the road from me. We pass them quite often
I love the variety of great color and markings of the clides. I just love the drafts too. Hard to find a saddle.
Love the Clydesdale as like myself they are a true Scot. Whatever their heritage, these days they are synonymous to the best country in the world 🇫🇮 🥌

So wonderful to see these beautiful horses WITH their whole tails in tact. Too many, like the Budweiser Clydesdales, have their tails cruelly docked.
🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
Everything about them is PERFECT
My niece Skye Allison went riding here on a Clydesdale when she was just about 8 years old – amazing horse!
I would love to visit the Clydesdales in Scotland one day. I own 3 Clydesdales and 1 clydie/gypsy cross and they are the best horses!
Thank you for leaving their tails intact.
I developed my love of the Clydesdale when I got to pet them and they were so so soft.
Same for the Percherons. Loved them!
The first time I saw the Budweiser Clydesdales I was HOOKED. And the first time I sat on a pony in one of those pony walkers where there are 5 or 6 and they walk around and around, I was completely in love and knew I had to have a horse. I've had 7 horses in my life, unfortunately none were a Clyde or any type of draft horse. Now I'm 65 and, really shouldn't ride anymore, age and old injuries keep my feet on the ground. But I would NEVER give up the chance to ride a Clyde or any draft just once.
I've got another idea of a horse breed you haven't ridden yet, I think – Mérens. It's a french breed and they're absolutely lovely!
Firstly: One never grooms or cleans a horse's hoof without the horse being tied
Secondly: One never puts a saddle on a horse or a snaffle on a horse without the horse being tied
It seems that there is a lack of knowledge nowadays handling horses to make sure that there are no accidents occurring. Watch the high level German horse riders (old school) and learn how to do it properly. The way you handle the horses is dangerous and not appropriate
Beautiful horses, seem happy and full of spirit! Cant imagine being on an 18 hands horse when it breaks into a canter! Have you visited a Friesian farm yet? Can't wait to see!
This is an amazing wee video. I love horses but have a special place in my heart for Clydesdales. You are so lucky to be able to get up close and ride Sonny. He is a Total Powerhouse. I love these breeds.
Sunnys coat is stunning 🤩, and my favourite thing about clydes would be their trot ,coat or mane and tail
I rode a massive Clydesdale called Peggy they are beautiful
Have you tried the Welsh mountain pony? It’s the oldest native breed in the UK.
That’s my dream horse lol the Clydesdale is very pretty one of the largest horse breeds
This video reminds me of my dogs there cane corso they are very big the male is a gentle giant
I Love your smile ❤
🥰
I like the calm nature of these horses. And of course their hairy legs 😄
Amaaazing🐴😍
those horses are so well behaved and love their owner so much
He’s beautiful! Riding one of these is on my bucket list!
I was riding here today. It was AMAZING
I have a 16.2 hand half Clyde who's black and white. Best horse I've ever owned. ❤️ They are gentle, kind, affectionate, smart, and loving. He's 33 years old now (96-97 in human years) and I've own him for 28 tears. Don't know that I'll be able to replace him.
Absolutely love the big breeds! Thanks for sharing!
Clydesdale are lovely, I sat on one years ago, I looked like a pea on a mountain. The only problem with them is like all larger draft breeds is they're extremely strong, if they bolt, you have absolutely nothing to stop you. The one I was one was out on a hack with his owner and his wife with her Highland, something happened and the Highland put her in the ditch, the Clydesdale took off road the one and the man could not stop him, luckily we were at the end of the road so managed to lure him with a treat.
Thanks for that! I am inspired to go there myself now!
Great video as always ! Such lovely gentle giants and the scottish landscape just beautiful!
This is my favorite breed of.horse. one day I want to own one.
Calm nature
What magnificent horses! I love Clydesdales ❤️
Such beautiful horses. Lucky girl!
Loved this!
