This is a tour of the warm springs ranch (one of 3 for Budweiser.) This is where they breed the draft horses. Nomad internet for unlimited Nomad travel- i.refs.cc/QeX63By7
I was born in St. Louis and remember as a small child seeing the Budweiser team doing promotions down the street from us. Although we moved to the desert southwest I have never forgotten them and how absolutely beautiful and impressive the Clydesdales were. ❤😊
lol same here and how can you not when their foals are so adorable! and the Clydesdale horses are so cool to watch as well as to look at I saw them once on a tv commercial all about bud light beer drink beverages a very long time ago as a kid.
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. I love these horses and getting an inside look at them and at how they’re kept (and the the foals) was wonderful!!
@Ellie Kennedy Draft horses have docked tails to keep their tails from getting caught in the equipment they are used to pull, like a carriage, wagon, or farm equipment.
Totally unnecessary, imho. You can trim a tail’s hair without docking the bone itself. I know people with working horses who trim just the hair to make it safe to do farm work.
… and what happens to the “ breeding machines” once they are too old ? End up at the slaughterhouse ??? You only see 3,8,9 year old mares … Please let the public know where they end up when they are old …
My guess is they end up at auction, usually to a slaughter buyer where thousands of American horses end up every year. It's not just the brood mares it's also the males that don't make it into the team because of size, markings or temperament. Their whole breeding program is just a damn tax write off. They don't care about where their rejects go.
The fact that your clydesdales have duct tails is archaic sacriledge in my opinion and it should not be done to any of them they need their tails to swat flies so to duct them is cruel and not nescessary for the breed.
It is criminal that they continue to mutilate these horses by amputating their beautiful tails. It should be against the law and Anheuser-Busch should be ashamed.
@@hollywyatt4869 You are sadly misinformed, Holly Wyatt. Most of the bone of the tail is gone, just look at it closely. In essence, they are amputating the last foot or more of their spine. It is an utterly unnecessary and barbaric practice, I do not care what their justification is about the tail getting tangled in the reins. Other breeds are driven without being mutilated like this.
@@meltcmelinda4012 They dock the tails. They cut off several inches of their spine. If you cannot see this, you must not know much about horse anatomy.
