Last night. She's only 1 HorsePower but LOADS of Torque.

Yes, she's a Clydesdale. Brought her home for a few weeks to see if I want to buy her. Its a friends that doesn't have time to train her any further. She just needs to be saddle broke--which should be easy enough. But that is a long drop if I'm wrong.



Excuse the shitty camera phone pic

 

Thats a HUGE BITCH

 

She is beautiful. I didn't think people rode Clydesdales? We used them for logging in the North East. What other horses do you have?

 

She is huge, about 18 hands high. I'm 6'-3" and her back is just slightly shorter than me, when she stands up tall, he head is probably at least 17-18'.

Trevor. Ridden Clydes aren't as common--obviously, but is becoming much more popular, as with all draft horses. Its actually very common across the pond for the English. I had always wanted a draft horse to ride--was really looking for a Percheron or Belgian, but I won't complain about a Clydesdale--especially not for the price. The drafts are a lot more lazy under saddle than most horse breeds, they get in no hurry. I just want a horse to cruise along with. Both of our other horse's are my fiance's and I can't/don't ride them, one's too small and the other is just out of my leaque experience wise. LOL.

the other 2, one's a Bay Quarterhorse about 5 years old, and the other is a 20+ year old Paint-brood mare, nothing special, but she's comes from excellent lineage. All three are mare's.

 

Sweet, I hope to add one to my stable one day!

Here is a pic of mine:

 

wow that's a big horse

 

Awesome. Great looking horses. I had no idea you rode.

Oh, and do I need a Clydesdale? No, but man its an attention getter. We'll see how she rides, cause thats my main purpose, I want to get one to ride that way Heather and I can haul them down to the arena's or beach or ride them down the local trails and such.

 

You should see the looks on people's faces when they pass our house and pasture.

 

what are you going to pull those two horses with? . . . will your new truck work?

 

Nah, we pull the horses with the 06 Z71. Its a 1500 ECSB 5.3 HO. It squats a lil bit, I'm probably going to add some helpers in the back, but it pulls it fine.


But I most likely will be looking to get her a 3/4 ton truck soon. LOL.
