[@harryjansen6789]

Amazing Driver and wonderful trained horses,

[@buddy1708]

Nice u-turn

[@annsowers4591]

Wow, finally get to see the drivers work magic.

[@terrykelly5496]

Now that is horsepower.

[@amiedetherese]

beautiful video, thanks

[@ryankopp9302]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS GREAT AND TOUCHING VIDEO; GREATLY APPRECIATED.

[@Patriot842]

$100,000 each, just for those harnesses. Imagine the money Budweiser has invested in those horses. I met them at Sea World, Orlando. They are a sight to be hold and very good temperament with people. Everyone loves them.

[@indridcold8433]

Wow! The drivers actually got paid to drive that incredible team and wagon! Would actually pay significantly to be the one driving the team and wagon. I would even pay to drive the Budweiser semi trucks. They are almost as iconic as the clydesdales, but not quite.

[@deborahpeeples1439]

I was amazed at how far away the front pair of horses seem from atop that wagon!! Read something recently...the reins and all the trappings used to drive the horses weighs a lot, can't remember, 40? 70? pounds!!! That's why there are two drivers, it's very physical work. Search YT and Google for lots of cool stories about them, Warm Springs Ranch in Missouri where they are bred, Turtle Ranch in Wyoming where they train and do commercials, and their three teams, in Merrimack, NH, St Louis, MO, and...not sure...?California? Anyway, great fun to read about and watch videos. Hope our life gets "normal" enough again that they can tour the country again!!

[@sweettrubble4635]

@@deborahpeeples1439 I've been binge-watching these videos for the past few days when they showed up in my recommendations. They are incredible creatures. Oh, did you see the one where the baby Clydesdale steals the show?

[@mshappyapple8663]

I know someone who used to be one of the drivers and he said there was no better job in the world - to do something you absolutely love and get paid for it too! I guess that saying is true - Do what you love to do for a living and you'll never 'work' a day in your life! He told me just one of those neck collars the horses wear costs $40,000. Didn't ask him how much the rest of their gear costs per horse but he did say the wagon alone weighs over 4 TONS empty.

[@indridcold8433]

@@mshappyapple8663 A modest wagon, significantly smaller than the one pulled by the Budweiser Clydesdales, cost $250,000. The one being pulled is easily double that, maybe a lot more. I asked a driver at a contest show how much equipment cost. The Budweiser setup is easily over $2,000,000. Throw in the iconic trucks and trailers, there is a fortune traveling down the road when fully loaded.

[@elaineojeda6942]

Well what amazing talent those drivers have to drive the Budweiser wagon with the Clydesdales amazing

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Elaine Ojeda, one of the drivers is the son of the trainer/caretaker at the breeding farm in MO.

[@rhondabranham6298]

Awesome video!

[@user1.8.2.]

Jeez...look at all those reins!

[@jessiesalazar9776]

WOW classic 👏👍😊

[@reneej1028]

I agree with "everything Zen" that was an awesome U-Turn. Great skills! Where was the Dalmation though?

[@indridcold8433]

I rather missed the dalmatian also. The clydesdales, drivers, wagon, semi trucks, music, was there. But the dalmatian is the cherry on top.

[@lisagaikowski2533]

💖I'm in Love! So Gorgeous!! 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@kyarilee]

that was so cool

[@margaretmurphy9498]

I never realized how far away the lead pair are away from the driver's perspective. I'm always in awe of the beauty and training to drive an 8 horse hitch

[@marieprovencio288]

What Angeles they are!!!!! Babes!!!!!!!!

[@derkdigler63]

How long does it take to get all the horses into place ??

[@sweettrubble4635]

There are videos about hitching and unhitching the horses. Takes about 20 or so minutes.

[@maryanderson9244]

Can you comment on the horses name please thanks

[@lucilesnow5180]

Are just males used to pull the wagon or is just females used or mixed

[@kater.7563]

Glad the police department was honored by Budweiser

[@joycekellner9957]

Where's the Dalmatian?

[@angelgirl7473]

4:39 that numb brain going by on the bike.. what’s he trying to do cause a horse to spook?!! 😠

[@newyorker3766]

Trying to show his intelligence level.⬇️

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Angel girl, those horses never get spooked.

[@juliarydquist5442]

Seriously 8 years old. Stood beside your Clydesdale. Petted its neck. Decided maybe should look into horses eyes. Looked up at driver..looked like a yes. Hoof as big as a dinner plate. Didn't care. Now kids can't get anywhere near and maybe that's good but my mom said I was just like her dad loving horses since I was born

[@kennethmattos1542]

I don't know witch one to say Gomer Pile Thank you thank you thank you,or Gorge Thougood, Bad to the bone

[@cynthcorcor126]

This is illegal some horses were track and hockey in the past those days are over because they shut down. Find another past time

[@Vaas109]

These horses get the best treatment ever and they only pull the wagon for a short while

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@@Vaas109 They retire from pulling the wagons at 15-18 years of age. They start at 4 years of age
