@@Hoodoo123 No, actually they DO NOT use bearing reins.... I know, because one time I saw them, and the trainers had a Q and A session, like they are here. I asked about bearing reins, because I know how horrible they are. They said they do not use them, the horses are trained to keep their heads up, and for the maneuvers they do, their heads have to be free. So, I don't know what you are looking at, but it isn't bearing reins..... they just have the reins that go from their bits, to the driver.
Why so many horses? I pretty sure two can pull that wagon with no sweat .I assume it’s for show. It would not look too interesting with only two horses.maybe I answered my own question.
Their explanation is that the wagon weighs 6000 pounds. The horses weigh 2000 pounds and can pull twice their weight. However if you watch the way they have to maneuver the wagon like it would have been done in order to deliver beer and allow for traffic back in the day, then you can see the need for that many horses.
@@oregongirl1064 It is NOT just for show. This is how things were actually delivered to places before the time of cars, trucks, trains and planes. They needed eight horses to pull and maneuver the wagons. Two horses could not maneuver a huge, heavy wagon load. Watch their show sometime.... the drivers show how the horses move the wagon, backing it up to a loading dock.... no way could two horses do that with a full wagon load.
Impressive. Easier to pull with more. And turn the wagon. They look so beautiful with eight of them all in line i like it!! There was a man that pulled a wagon with forty eight draft horses. Yes just read about it. Four across.what a sight really true. And still do it with that many
The first time I got to see them was in Florida got to touch and stand next to one. They are Magnificent.. Awesome.. Was in Bush Gardens was looking at theirs one leg was cut. I hate not just let them be horses. Running playing and eating from the pasture.. It must hurt their mouth with those dam bits in their mouth.
They love showing off it like getting dress up for a ball for them and they do get to run and eat from pasture and they get feed better then you eat it like the best of everything .
You can tell these handlers are gentle and caring with the Bud horses and absolutely OCD about every detail, so that the horses and people are safe. A delight to watch. Lol dog wanders off into the crowd to say hi! Horses start shaking their heads when they are all set up and ready to go. Notice how they side step to turn with those big hoofs.
A beautiful sight ! Isn't it about time though, that these guys join the rest of the world and stop cropping tails ? It's cruel and totally unnecessary !
They are born that way idiot. They and some other draft horses are born with short tails. They take the hair and put it in a bun for the show. Why don't you look things up before you type.!! You city people need to leave the horse commentary to people who know what they are talking about. And we'll leave the commentary about riots, theft, rapes, and murders to you.
@@galescott8433 Tell me it wasn;t a Clydesdale, please???? They are NOT aggresive horses, being real "Cold Bloods", but they are accidentently MASSIVE, and they can't help their size........but never known for aggresion, despite their weight.......Still passive, when all evidence is known.....
It's a beautiful display, but also sad. It's obvious that these majestic, gentle giants are very uncomfortable with the metal bites in their mouths. For me, this is animal cruelty for public display. Why can't the bites be made of a more gentle material like strong leather to make it more tolerable for these beautiful creatures. I love seeing the Clydesdales, but cry everytime I see them tossing their heads and trying to get this hard material out of their mouths! Come on Budweiser please do something about this.
No other material can be used, leather or rubber would chew it, it has to be made of metal, to be able to control them, imagine how I would control 8 of these runaway horses, they are also draft horses, they are trained to this, if we suffered for all of them animals, you would not eat a chicken, a beef, a pig.
It's not a draw rein; it's a martingale. It's attached to rings on the bridle above the bit, not directly to the bit. Also as loosely as it's attached, it's mostly there to be shiny.
They do NOT use any type of bearing rein. They need their heads to be free when they make the moves to show how they moved the wagon in and out of the loading docks. Also, one time, when I saw their show, I watched like the people in the video and they did the same kind of Q and A. I specifically asked if they used a bearing or drawing rein as you called it....and they said absolutely not... the horses are trained to keep their heads up, and that they need the freedom to be able to move their heads when asked to do certain types of movements when being driven. Trust me, these horses have better lives, food, care and living conditions that a lot of people have.
Oh my another CLYDESDALE TREAT. !!! LOVE THIS VIDEO...The handlers are ALWAYS SO KIND to the public..
I’d like to hear all the horses names and introduced to the public each time and what there personalities are like
As much as I love them all dressed out like this, it’s breathtaking seeing them run in the surf naked
I guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new series online?
I met these exact Budweiser Clydesdale horses at Horse Fair at Belmont Racetrack. These exact horses are from New Hampshire.
They are simply gorgeous animals
I am looking for explanation of the horses trained to do a figure right that I saw yesterday
These horses are beautiful . They are my favorite horse. I love them. Do they ever come to East Tennessee. ?
When these horses are ready to retire what do you do with them ?
NUMBER ONE STUNNER‼️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 💯🇺🇸
Heard the largest. Heaviest strongest clyesdales horses are the one in front of the wagon to get it started pull it
Yes and they are called Wheelers
beutiful gental giants, i love them
Why do the horses nod their heads?
I wonder if they use the bearing reign on the horse's.
Yes they do, you can see the handlers fitting it and forcing their heads up.

Susan Smith actually it doesn’t with the way they are set and in the off season they do run and play but they were made to work so
They love showing off it like getting dress up for a ball for them and they do get to run and eat from pasture and they get feed better then you eat it like the best of everything .

11 months they are on the road, 1 month rest period.
Thanks MadHawke!
All of God's creatures should be well cared for, they are special and they know it.
Stunning creatures.

@@Hoodoo123 Stupid for decades too, apparently.
30-45 minuites we can hook a 6 in 5 minuites if we are in a hurry cause they just called the class
Stears Family farms because tacking them up is part of the show. Have to keep the crowd around. A five minute hookup would not interest many people
You just would not stand behind any other horse for fear of it kicking! Can you imagine being kicked by a Clydesdale, ffs ??
I had a uncle killed by a horse that kicked him the head. With these big guys. Be nothing left
Love them so much and well trained. Used to loud noises and large crowd of people

It is a job, just as I have a job, which has many many unpleasant things. That is life.
I met them in the 60s. They awlsom.
I have a video on my channel to!!!
This is illegal with the "Clydesdales"
Colegate, Siberian & Chesters
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Why add the drawing reigns to the lead horse why

Lose the metal. Shoes and bits cause damage
