Both horses here are essentially "Clydesdales," bay and black examples, and very nice ones too. The most influential stallion on the modern Shire being Hillmoor Enterprise, a full-blooded Clyde. In some cases, the influence of what was left of the massive old Shire is still to be witnessed, especially in the UK there are still some Shires that can be distinguished from Clydesdales based on the old classic features still being in evidence. In many cases there is nothing to distinguish them other than the word "Shire" on their papers. And in many other cases, especially in North America, the Shire is now like a skinnier, lighter, inferior Clydesdale. Which is an odd development, given the Shire is classically the bigger, more massive horse of the two.
