Cindy This is the new commercial and I tear up every time I watch it! |

I love them too. Several years ago we went to Larson's farm in Ripon, WI, they raised and showed Clydesdales and we were all able to interact one on one with them. Great experience. We took my dad to see them pull the 40 horse hitch at the Milwaukee State Fair back in the 70's, he loved it as he at one time had farmed with horses. |
Beautiful creatures. Made me tear up too, Cindy |
Love em too. When they were not in the Rose Parade 2011, I fired off a letter to Bub corporate. They said they were "seeking other avenues for advertising." Glad to see they rethought that and a new Bud commercial coming. |
I don't drink more than 1 or two beers per year if that, but when I do I drink American beer. (American owned AND brewed.) |
GO RAVENS!!! I love the clydesdales too!!! |
Just a little story..... A long long time ago, when I was about 7 years old, my cousin was one of the trainers for the Clydesdales...I have a picture, I cherish, of me holding the reins ( or some kind of leash) of one of the lead horses ...I remember watching them exercise at Grants Farm...I remember how gentle those big giants were...very fondly... |
Thatk you for posting the great Videos. I really enjoyed them. |
Before I retired I was a Detroit Mounted Police officer. Whenever the Clydesdales came to Detroit for the Thanksgiving Day parade they stayed at our barns. Those horses were gentle giants with feet that were bigger than dinner plates. One day I was working in the barn and was enlisted to exercise the Clydes. We had no saddle for them and had to ride them bareback. They were so wide my legs would not touch thier sides and I bounced from side to side and never fell off. It was a thrilling experience that I will never forget. |
I stood next to them once in Chicago when I lived there and they are huge, but such beautiful animals! |
When we go see the husband's family, we always go to Grant's Farm to see the Clydesdales. If you strike up a chat with the groomers, you can often get a little closer. One year, they all off limits to the public do to an idiot harming them in a driveby. |
Here is the extended version of the commercial. http://youtu.be/wPG7PcI67dE |
Thanks for posting Cindy! Love them and enjoyed the videos! |

That is pretty close to us and our grandkids would get a kick out of this. |
Thank you Cindy for posting this. Such beautiful creatures!! My aunt and uncle raise horses in (Springhill) Florida and will love watching the training video for the Clydesdales. Oh and the baby horse commercial gets me every time I watch. LOVE IT! |
