Riding the Clydesdale in Scotland

[@DiscoverTheHorse]

What is your favorite thing about Clydesdales?🐎

[@nozee77]

Never had the pleasure to meet one. But their colouring is just stunning and special. 💚 Have you ridden an Arabian yet? Or an Akhal Theke?

[@DiscoverTheHorse]

I agree, I was so impressed with each one I met at Blackstone Clydes! Thanks for watching. 😊 I rode an Arabian for a "ride and tie" race demonstration early on in my Quest, but I am planning to feature the breed in a longer episode as well. I met a few Akhal-Tekes when I was filming the Kuda Padi in Malaysia but planning to film them in Turkmenistan.

[@nozee77]

@@DiscoverTheHorse Thank you for answering, looking forward to it! Couldn't find the mentioned ones in your vids, guess I need to take another dive into your history. 🤓

First horse I sat on was a clydie named Sally at 6 months old. I grew up doing stuff with her for such a long time. She would put her head right down so I could fumble around putting her bridle on and her working collar. She was the first horse I ever fell off. There were I think 5 of us kids on her. The one on her rump slid and we all fell off. She just tuned her head and looked at us " like what are you all doing there" . I am 100% positive that she is where my love of horses has come from. They are truly the gentle giants of the horse world

[@lever0811]

fell off of. wow it's a long way down.

[@sandrasmith16]

@@lever0811 It sure was but we were kids and didn't care and Sally was so sweet and gentle. My Uncle laughed so much and we all did too when we dusted ourselves off

[@claymon1956]

I rode one to school in the morning walked home after They had a logging camp near the one room school where about 12 students attended.There was two Clydesdales and a couple of Shires.The gentile giants are my favorite horse breed .

[@ravvlogs6418]

Hi Lisa, First of all your videos are really amazing and heart warming and secondly, I don’t know if you ever heard about Indian Marwari horses or not , if you not then you must check out Marwari stallion, they are famous for their height, beauty, and specially ears. Their ears can turn 180 degrees and when both the ears turn inwards , they form heart shape because the tip of the ears are little curly. They look beautiful.

[@muffassa6739]

Seeing the gentle giants plus the wonderful breeder does not dock their beautiful tails!! Bless you 🙏 ♥

[@princessbeaniewiggle]

It's illegal to dock tails in the UK

[@boyinblue.]

@@princessbeaniewiggle As it should be everywhere

[@princessbeaniewiggle]

@@boyinblue. Agreed

[@staceymavilia9510]

Do you know why they historically docked tails? Because if the reins go under the tail and the horse clinches it's tail down, you have no control.

[@princessbeaniewiggle]

@@staceymavilia9510 Did you know that docking a horse's tail is cruel? That's why it's illegal in the UK

Favourite thing about a clydesdale? Their sheer size and power! Absolutely amazing animals

[@frankschlanker]

I visited Blackstones Clydesdales today and it was an absolute pleasure being around these incredible animals. I would urge anyone to go along and support these animals and the people.. Run by lovely people who are soooo friendly and giving of their time.

[@alfbittner6489]

Their so big but gentle. So wonderful to see them in full flight.

[@graciewright8439]

These horses look very happy and calm this man definitely looks after these beautiful horses and the landscape is magical, as well as the horses.

[@dic2504]

So fun to see this video! I own a 16hh Clydesdale cross (Dutch Harness Horse) that is the best horse ever! I'm a 58 year old re-rider and I couldn't ask for a more comfortable, kind, gentle horse. He is black with tall white stockings, looks like a giant pony. He is just a lovely, kind, easy horse.❤

The first time I saw the Budweiser Clydesdales I was HOOKED. And the first time I sat on a pony in one of those pony walkers where there are 5 or 6 and they walk around and around, I was completely in love and knew I had to have a horse. I've had 7 horses in my life, unfortunately none were a Clyde or any type of draft horse. Now I'm 65 and, really shouldn't ride anymore, age and old injuries keep my feet on the ground. But I would NEVER give up the chance to ride a Clyde or any draft just once.

[@wendyburton-smith1165]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video I had my own horse, Bramble, for 21 years until she passed away three years ago at the grand old age of 30. She was a shire cross and I could take her anywhere- she was so gentle and well behaved! I'll look forward to seeing more of your videos ❤️🐴

[@DiscoverTheHorse]

Thanks for watching, Wendy! Bramble sounds like she was a wonderful horse and friend! So sorry for your loss. 🤗

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

I love the big breeds!! I’ve always been more comfortable on them. And they’re just so chill His trot and canter look so smooth

[@ElaineParr]

I know nothing about horses but this video was just wonderful. What a magnificent horse this gentle giant is and how splendid they looked cantering and galloping…..far more agile than I thought possible. I could (sadly) just imagine them as war horses with a mounted knight….I’d have turned and fled just at the sight.

[@mreckes9967]

When my dear old Dad was growing up on a farm in Scotland they didn't have a tractor until after the war (WWII) and used teams of Clydesdale's, I have some great old photo's of him and his brothers posing with them. He always had a love for draft horses in general and I inherited some great books on them. Plus great memories of him tell us stories as children about them.

[@neilr4867]

So did my Dad! My grandfather was one of the last farmers in Ayrshire to use them.

[@cden409]

I’ve always been in awe of them. So majestic and seem to be real gentle giants. Thank you for sharing

[@DavidFraser007]

Clydesdales are the most beautiful horses. My Grandad was brought up using working Clydesdales in the North East of Scotland. He still had a pale, almost white Clydesdale called Donald which he used for forestry work. Donald was usually in a field behind my Grandparents cottage, he always ran over to me when I called his name, he liked nibbling my hair, many happy times with old Donald.

[@genwatson4834]

I have never been fortunate enough to ride a Clydesdale, but my favorite thing about them is attached to one of my favorite memories. My parents took me for my first trip to the New York State Fair when I was six. The Budweiser Clydesdales were there as featured guests. Those horses had hooves bigger than my face, but were gentle enough to let a strange little kid pet them!

[@xhogun8578]

Though a big horse I always love the way they move and with their feathering it makes them look so graceful.

[@PLS.54]

Yes!

[@barbll000]

My first horse ride was on my grandfather’s Clydesdales. I was about 3 and totally horse mad. While at the farm I’d ask him every hour when was it time I could ride the horse. My mom took a photo-I was tiny and of course the horse was huge. I’d hold the mane in my hands and I remember I’d have to scrunch my toes to keep my too large boots from falling off. I loved every second. In winter we were going to the woods for lumber and he had a large sleigh and you stand at the front edge and hold the reins and he let me drive the horses. Such happy memories. I would totally love to own a Clydesdale now. If I could get a horse, that’s what I’d want.

[@davidsonbenson9830]

Hello how are you doing

[@tracyjohnson2992]

Everything about the Clydesdales is magical. They are one of the calmest breeds on the planet. they rarely spook and they are solid as a rock but very gentle too and they are super curious especially of children. Super smart and surprisingly agile they were draught horse for pulling beer carts back in the day and they also used as war horses as well as your basic farm work. Anheiser Busch heard about the slow decline in the numbers of the Clydesdales and brought a few of them and brought them to his stables to help rebuild the numbers of the Clydesdale, He has one of the largest collections of Clydesdales anywhere in the world now and treats them all like kings. The Clydesdale breed was put on the endangered list about 10-20 years ago but with the pride in the Scottish Heritage breed they are doing their best to breed them to help bring the numbers up to ensure the the Clydesdale horse stays around for a long, long time. Thank the lord for that. The most graceful animal in my book. such a cool breed.

[@TheAvista21]

Magical, fairytale horses. Gorgeous place. Thank you for sharing. I would love that experience!

[@specterman2000]

The first draft horses I ever rode were Clydesdale horses. They were at a breeding ranch in Grass Valley, California and I also got to ride their breeding stallion. His name was Freddie, he was a big beautiful red roan horse and he was like a big dog who liked to lick my hand every time I would pet his nose.

[@irishka_zolotse]

Wow, they are huge, unreally awesome! And we also could see the owner is adoring his horses...

[@sandygreene7012]

It's probably the first time I've seen a Clydesdale with a natural tail. It's so beautiful

[@christinamuller1741]

In my eyes the Draft breeds are the most beautiful horses in the world. What a beautiful experience!

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Agreed Clydes, Belgians, Shire, Percherons...wow.

They have such a friendly temperament for such large animals. Such sweeties! Blackstone Clydesdales is definitely going on my list of things to do when I visit Scotland someday. What an experience. :)

[@annetteallison9087]

My niece Skye Allison went riding here on a Clydesdale when she was just about 8 years old - amazing horse!

[@aquamarine5180]

Clydesdales are one of my favorite breeds. Their gentleness is what I love the most. They are such a gift. It was amazing to see how gentle the horse was laying down, not alarmed by a stranger. He even allowed himself to be a bed! Thank you for filming, it was fun to see Scotland and hear that Scottish accent! Kathy from Indiana

[@marydonohoe8200]

Sunny was so happy that he was able to get out and gallop! Neighing for joy. Love it! These heavy horses are my favorites because of their serene, sweet temperament. I’m thrilled that they are still valued and continue to be bred. I do wish I could ride one!

Wow what an amazing breed. Clydesdales truly are a magnificent horse. Sunny definitely stole the show, out of all the Clydesdales in this video, he is my favorite. He just took my breath away at his size and coloring. He’s like a silver bay roan which is so beautiful. I also love how sweet yet prideful he is, perfect combination. My favorite thing about Clydesdales has to be just their size. The fact that they can get up 18.0 hands and 1800 pounds is insane. They are so big! Loved this video, it was so fun to watch ❤

Hi! I have horse breed suggestions I don't think you've done yet! The breeds of South Africa! Including Boerperd ponies and Nooitgedachts. They have a very interesting history, all dating back to the original Cape Horse breed. South Africa is great for horse lovers and I really recommend the experience. My first pony that I leased was a Boerperd and he had the biggest personality and willingness. I miss him so much. There's a horse at the stables I go to now that's a Nooitgedacht and she's quite the handful! Beautiful grey though.
