Budweiser Clydesdales take the field at Busch Stadium

[@anneterry3660]

They may be the Budweiser Clydesdales, but everywhere they go in the United States people come out and cheer and see them as an iconic American image. Always a thrill! Majestic.

[@barbarawells6371]

If I ever won the big lottery, I would get a huge horse ranch and bring up Clydesdale 's love those beautiful beasts of course including the dalmatians!!!!

[@KathyAddison-d7s]

I had the privilege of seeing the Clydesdales in person back I Michigan many, many years ago. I still can't believe how beautiful these horses are. Thanks to the entire Budweiser support staff for the wonderful care you take of these magnificent animals. ❤❤

[@cathynewyork7918]

I agree with what you said about the Clydesdales being an iconic American image. Always a thrill ... majestic. I used to live a half-block from the route of the New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, and I always loved loved loved seeing the Clydesdales in the Rose Parade every year for many years. Some years they did a driving demonstration at a nearby horse show ring two days before the parade. Wonderful. I wonder if they will appear in this year's Rose Parade after the huge advertising debacle scandal they had ... but I live in New York City now so I won't see them in their California appearance.

[@gathsfamily2866]

The humans ruined it with the unnecessary realignment pulling !!!!! The horses were dead on track to start with !!!! Duuuuuh !!! Ok, on hindsight I must correct myself here !!! Realized that the realignment was indeed necessary to pull the rear off the wagon clear from the tunnel !!! But the driver could have done this in the fist place !! The horses just took the tight turn to the track ...just as the knew they were to be on !! Next time , just drive the drivers in to where you really need them to be !! Realignment sideways must have been hard for everyone !!!

[@OB17358]

It’ll be worth the trip. As a teen in Salmon, Idaho, they came to our rodeo. I’m in my 60’s now and remember how beautiful they are. I know now what a special treat it was for our small rather isolated town to be on their show route.

[@MidwestMike100]

@@gathsfamily2866 Your correction is correct. The driver initiated the turn slightly too soon, and didn't want the wagon to scrape or get hung up on the corner of the wagon gate. The teams do not have a reverse...the handlers must do that. In essence, they needed to back up the wheel team first, then get the drive horses to back up, and then the lead or steering horses. The teams are taught this, along with other commands, and take commands readily.

They appear every single September ( go on line to check the dates) for the “EASTERN STATES EXPOSITION”, biggest fair east of the Mississippi & 7th largest in the United States( runs 17 days! The Clydesdales appear daily in two parades at this extraordinary fair( all the north east states are represented here & such an amazing fair!)! You can get up close to these beautiful horses, watching them get groomed, fed & cared for “ up close!” Their stable is open to the public along with their care! You can pet them & is an experience that never gets old, believe me! Also, their is a smaller wagon pulled by the Clydesdales ponies that follow the huge horses, each day in the parades! One is around five pm or so & the other is around 8:00 pm in, what they call the Mardi Gras parade( floats are made by same group that made those amazing floats in New Orleans! They throw beads, too)! Watching those horses go by with the Dalmatian dogs( one on each orange wagon) & with those well trained drivers, never fails to bring tears to my eyes, just like everyone else! The Eastern States Exposition is in West Springfield, Massachusetts ( south western Massachusetts & 30 mins from Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Ct.), in case anyone would like to go! Believe me, it is sooooo well worth a trip, if just to see those gorgeous Clydesdale horses! Take Care!❤
