American Icons They heralded a new era of prosperity for Anheuser-Busch, and a weary nation’s return to optimism. From their first appearance in 1933 to their enduring presence on the American landscape, the Clydesdales are more than the symbol of Budweiser beer; they are the living embodiment of America’s great industrial spirit.

I saw them once too, about 20 years ago. They look so absolutely majestic, with that long hair around their hooves....and so BIG! Have a good time, Bonez, and take at least one pic to upload here for us!

I've ridden a half Clydesdale (Clyde/Arabian cross). At that she was really wide. Can't imagine riding a full Clydesdale. Might have to practice doing the splits first. Beautiful animals however.
