They used to be at the State Fair of Texas every year, but not the last few years.

They're still around. You can see a lot of them at the stud farm near Grant's Farm in South St. Louis County. My brother sees them everyday as he does his 16 miles on the nearby bike path.

There was a documentary a few years back, entitled "The Gentle Giants". It was a wonderful program; and it was very heartwarming. Apparently the Clydesdales were originally bred as war horses, and originate from the banks of the River Clyde in Scotland, where Budweiser folks went for fresh blood for their stock. Would watch it again any day.

I saw some of the Budweiser Clydesdales at our county fair in northern WI the summer of 2011, they are some good looking animals

Our neighbor raises Clydesdales and sells them. He trains them to harness. I can not get over how huge these horses are. The only thing I wouldn't like about them is that their feathers can get seriously caked with mud when they are out in a muddy pasture. The neighbor bought a pressure washer to wash the mud out of their feathers.

Before the sell out, I sometimes worked at one of the parks with Budweiser clydes. They would move them from one side of the park to the other along the access road. Watching a guy bareback one, with 3 other sets of reins in his hands was pretty awesome.

I spotted their caravan at a weigh station on I-40 last fall. It's a pretty impressive set-up consisting of a huge enclosed trailer with bud graphics pulled by a semi and accompanied by 2-3 vans painted the same.
They definitely ride in style!!

Bud used to take them around free of charge. Now, if you want them at your event, you're going to have to "pony up" some cash. That's why you don't see them on the road so much anymore.

They came to South Bend, IN once over 10 years back and they stabled them overnight in an old Studebaker wagon stable that was still here. That was impressive. :thumbsup:

If only they had a good beer to go with those horses. What a shame.

:laughing:

Hey, are you trying to start a fight?:laughing: Bud products were the beer of choice for me for many years, but then I just about quit drinking beer and they had to sell the company.:rolleyes:

Rice beer. And now, it's cheap rice beer.

Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"After the InBev takeover, several cost-cutting measures that were implemented have, according to some sources, negatively impacted upon the flavor of the beer. Whole rice grains have now been replaced by broken ones, and the high quality Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hop has been phased out.[8] A former top AB InBev executive says the company saved about $55 million a year substituting cheaper hops in Budweiser and other U.S. beers for more expensive ones like Hallertauer Mittelfrüh.[8]"

Mic Ultra is nice on a hot afternoon when you've been in the hay field!

Budweiser aka "Bud Heavy" is just a headache in a can.
