Clydesdales

Massive draft horses

Clydesdales are a breed of large, powerful draft horses originating from Scotland.

They're known for their distinctive feathered legs—long hair cascading over the hooves—and their calm temperament.

Once essential for farm work and hauling, they're now largely ceremonial, most famously as the Budweiser advertising mascots: The Clydesdales pulled the brewery wagon through the snow.
