About
The Clydesdale is a massive Scottish draft horse breed known for its tall frame, heavy build, and feathered legs.
Developed in Scotland for farm work and hauling, the Clydesdale ranks among the largest draft breeds alongside the Shire and Belgian. Mature stallions are typically taller and heavier than mares, often spanning from 1,800 to 2,200 pounds (800 to 1,000 kilograms). Despite their bulk, their large hooves and the long hair around their lower legs make their high-stepping stride look surprisingly light.
From Wikipedia
The Clydesdale is a breed of draught horse which originated in the seventeenth century, and takes its name from the Clydesdale district of Scotland. The first recorded use of the name "Clydesdale" for the breed was in 1826; the horses spread through much of Scotland and into northern England.
