I know and watched Dick and Lollie Ames, both now deceased, show Arabian horses in Scottsdale and the Percheron at the National Western Stockshow in Denver. They always had the finest horses in both breeds. Ames Construction was and still is a huge benefactor for National Western Stockshow
I truly love the Gentla Giants program however, the judging at the finals is so disappointing. Instead of the hitches being judged by the characteristics of the particular breed, they are judged by the Percheron standards. Clydesdales are never placed in the higher positions. Yes, their movement is not as high stepping as the Percherons but that is not what their breed does. Belgians are also never in the top 3 They are super powerful, but not as light legged as the Percherons. If the AKC finals were done like this, only one breed of dog would always win best of show. You can not judge all breeds by the same criteria. That is never going to be a fair final.
My grandma and grandpa would stop here on our way to waxahachie from Austin twice a month... I loved them cheese burgers n fries so much! Miss this... everytime I saw them frogs I was like awww yeaaa we gonna slam these burgers!
Sad the place was doomed before it was even built. Some investors where very shady! Lots of side deals with the contractors building the property so investors could pocket money. When the bank was getting ready to take the property back Carl Cornelius requested all the security camers be removed out of the safe room. After that Carl would walk around with pockets full of cash. The idea of the place was amazing and def had a special feeling being there.
I am a horse logger 17 yrs old started, 4months only. ,first job riding ponies , horses by auction a kid 1 hr .many hours my grandparents 1928 horse logging 1985, Robert's family fort st James.. horse blood,, john.
I love the Clydesdales. They're like the Flag, Mom and apple pie for the symbology of America. I'm so disappointed that Anheuser Busch marred such a long and rich history with all that transgender perversion. Imagine elevating a man who thinks he's a woman for the brand...and not even thinking how offensive that would be to the other 99.7% of the "buying" population. So stupid!!! But I will ALWAYS love those horses ❤❤
Watched them filming a commercial in Yosemite in the 90's and have loved and followed them since. Going to their home in March to learn more about them.
Sawr them up close at the Mercado In Orlando and I use to see them out in the pastures along the highway when some were kept at the Busch owned parks. When I was a Girl Scout (back in 1990ish), we went over to Busch Gardens and got to see a 10 day old foal with his mama. Love to think he grew to pull the wagon.
Clydesdales, ALWAYS THE BEST AND NO OTHER CAN TOUCH THEIR HISTORY. I am 71 years old and I LOVED IN MY YOUNGER YEARS AND STILL TODAY, GO BUDWEISER CREW, still love your beer to.
Pssssst, in real life their supposed to be scheduled for a Smokey Mt. Christmas movie for Netflix….. Call for inquiry’s at the parking lot less Wood, Betty Crocker must be side tracked! Eric
OMG, excuse me please, but ladies, lighten up on the make-up. Other: I wish the horses tails weren't bobbed. I know it was the "horse style" at the time, but can't we move past that?
Gorgeous animals, but a shame to see their cropped tails. The tail is so important to a horse. Flies must torture them in summer. In Germany cropping a horse's tail is illegal.
It would be nice if a family farm had a legit chance to win this corporate taken over event. ( Was there ever a time when Young or Express didn't win these big shows🙄)
