The Budweiser Clydesdales--Cody, Wyoming Stampede 4th of July 2015 Parade

[@darlenefraser3022]

I don’t even CARE that this is a commercial. I could still sit and watch it all day!

[@julialandry8061]

They’re beautiful horses, impeccably trained and skillfully handled. It takes a lot of time and energy to produce a turnout like this, gorgeous!

[@joanngasper5961]

It's amazing how 8 horses can get people from miles around so excited.

[@sallypitts7659]

I love all the Clydesdale videos. Those horses are beyond magnificent!!!!

[@dianedavis1591]

Look 👀 at them Magnificent Clydesdale I can look at these guys all day long, Thanks 😊 For Sharing With Us.... USA 🇺🇸. Love the Budweiser song! Thank You Budweiser!

[@kaybuckley8977]

They are so beautiful and seem to take life in such a gracious way. Amazing!

[@islandbirdw]

I’ve seen these horses get hitched up at Fleetweek. What strikes me is their calm Uber composed demeanor. They anticipate the next move they’ve been trained so well! Awesome horses!

[@jandrews6254]

Check out the accident they had in a stadium! Talk about calm and well trained

[@sharontaylor2243]

@@jandrews6254 yes I saw that and I couldn’t believe how they just laid there and didn’t move until it was their turn to get up.

[@rvasquez8057]

It's funny how as you age you appreciate and are inspired by near perfection. I guess it's from the realization of how truly imperfect so many things are. What an absolutely awesome team of horses. You know those Clydesdales had to wondering, what the hell is that? When that little Shetland fold showed up, Great Shot.

[@MrYfrank14]

Fairly certain that was a donkey.

[@kcoffey0708]

I totally forgot about this song. Every Budweiser Clydesdales KZbin video should have this music!

[@nancy6160]

I love these shorts of the huge Clydesdales I cry sometimes they're so beautiful! An eight up hitch is so powerful and hard to do; I admire the drivers.

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

Wow !! You had the best seat in the house !!! Really nice video.....Thanks

I saw them shortly after my 17 year old son died in Wichita KS. I was feeling so lost and my daughter looked at me and said mom look it's Luke. He's here for you. I cried so hard

A beautiful moment - thank you for sharing. Hold on to it.

😔 aww! He definitely was!❤️

[@mshappyapple8663]

I knew one of the truck drivers and he told me just ONE of those neck collars costs $40,000 - all leather, brass and sewn together with silk thread!! I didn't ask how much it cost for all the other tac. That wagon weighs about 4 tons. They travel with 10 horses but have 8 on the team. One horseshoe weighs about 4 pounds. I was lucky enough to actually get up close and personal with them and they truly are 'gentle' giants. They are magnificent. I'll never forget it! They are very pampered and have to maintain a certain amount of weight to pull those wagons. If they get too fat or too thin, they can't be part of the team. They have 3 separate teams that travel the country - one for each section of the country. If you haven't been able to see them in person, the next time they are scheduled to be near you - GO!! You won't be disappointed.

Why are the tails of these beautiful horses cut off?

[@jessd3601]

So they don’t get pulled out by the extra feet right behind them, ropes and chain, etc.

[@jandrews6254]

I drove a welsh pony who had the most amazing tail. Admittedly it was a single harness. But I plaited and bandaged his tail out of the way, no problem. Never could understand why horses tails were amputated, maybe because someone thought it looked good, maybe to get out,of the xtra grooming

[@happyhorsestraining2293]

They aren’t cut off. While they are shorter than the your ordinary paddock horse, they are in tact. Horses use their tails to communicate and to keep insects away. They are plaited and rolled up.

[@brucebannerman6848]

@@happyhorsestraining2293 Thanks,I hate seeing docked tails on a horse,they also will use them to give people a slap and pretend they were after flys. Stings like hell on a bare back.

[@LondonLite02]

Wow, they're totally loose when they bridle them!

[@indridcold8433]

It seems like steel toe boots, a hard hat, and thick jacket should be required to be around these magnificent animals. They appear very powerful. The wagon that is being pulled weighs five thousand pounds.

[@MrYfrank14]

What would all that protect you from? The horses weigh about 1 ton apiece. If they chose to step on you, you would die. You would wear a hardhat with your name on so the cops could identify your body.

[@briarlee]

Shame on Budweiser for docking their horse's tails. There is absolutely NO REASON to mutilate an animal that way. Just shameful!

[@sugarfoottevis]

I asked them why draft horses have their tails docked. It because their tails can get caught up in the reins and equipment, which makes perfect sense.

[@fredsanford1695]

"mutilate" lol! I don't think too many people consider a hair cut "mutilation" lol Get a grip.

[@briarlee]

lol Fred...their tails are docked, that means that, the healthy bone and tissue was cut off...the tail was AMPUTATED. The average adult horse has about 18 vertebra in their tail...they hack off 15 of those along with all of the muscles and nerves...so not just hair. Some call it butchering...others mutilation. Any of those terms apply to purposefully removing healthy tissue that the horse actually needs and uses. It is an extremely cruel procedure that is done for cosmetic reasons. Take a look at what the AAEP has to say about it. The AVMA endorses the American Association of Equine Practitioners’ (AAEP) policy on "Tail Alteration in Horses," which reads as follows: “The American Association of Equine Practitioners condemns to the alteration of the tail of the horse for cosmetic or competitive purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, docking, nicking (i.e., cutting) and blocking. When performed for cosmetic purposes, these procedures do not contribute to the health or welfare of the horse and are primarily used for gain in the show ring (nicking/cutting, blocking and docking) or because of historical custom (docking). If a horse’s tail becomes injured or diseased and requires medical or surgical intervention, such care should be provided by a licensed veterinarian. The AAEP urges all breed associations and disciplines to establish and enforce guidelines to eliminate these practices and to educate their membership on the horse health risks they may create. Members of AAEP should educate their clients about the potential health risks, welfare concerns, and legal and/or regulatory ramifications regarding these procedures based on the relevant jurisdiction and/or association rules.”

[@briarlee]

No Sugarfoot, this is not true. You can read the research done by Sandra Tozzini, where she states the following: The rationale given for this was to prevent possible difficulties in controlling a horse whose tail had tangled in the harness or reins (Tozzini, 2003; Lefebvre et al, 2007). This justification is still used today. However, not all draught horses are docked and the inconsistent application of the practice implies that these horses can be managed adequately without the need to remove the tail. Simple and practical alternatives, such as plaiting or bandaging the tail, are available if necessary. These are the only horses who are docked...these draft horses, and they do it for cosmetic reasons. There are many breeds of horses that work in harness, like Standardbreds, Gypsy Vanners, Shetlands, Fell, Cleveland Bays, Friesians and many more...NONE of them have their tails docked. Why do you think that is...or, why 14 US states and 11 countries ban it. Take a look at the research completed in Belgium about tail docking: The rationale given for this was to prevent possible difficulties in controlling a horse whose tail had tangled in the harness or reins (Tozzini, 2003; Lefebvre et al, 2007). This justification is still used today. However, not all draught horses are docked and the inconsistent application of the practice implies that these horses can be managed adequately without the need to remove the tail. Simple and practical alternatives, such as plaiting or bandaging the tail, are available if necessary. Shame on the sadistic people who hacked up their horses this way. Shame on them.

[@Goldenbird94]

I don't know why they can't just shave them short tbh. :/ I don't like docking either. :/

[@rogerjenkinson7979]

An extremely cruel act to cut off a horse's tail to make it look more stylish and showy. Then to do it to seven more just so that they all match. I won't be buying any budweiser from now on.

[@happyhorsestraining2293]

They are trimmed shorter than an ordinary horse in the paddock but they aren’t cut off. This allows a shorter tail to be plaited and tucked up. It’s not about looks so much as safety. A loose tail can get tangled in all the driving equipment. It also prevents a horse from treading on the tail of the horse in front him.

[@horsewhisperer20394]

The poor horses hate it when they’re tacked up, they’re all throwing their heads because of how uncomfortable their mouths and docks are. When will these horses be allowed to retire? Nobody wants to drink Budweiser after seeing these poor horses.
