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.
@@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 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
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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 ❤️🐴
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.
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.❤
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!
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.
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.
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.
As a ornery adventuresome kid at 6yrs along with my 2 cousins 6yrs also in Pa. We'd go see acouple of work draft horses that would stand by the fence so we could get on they're back so we could shake the apple tree limbs to shake down apples for them to eat them. They were friendly an smart an we loved it! We'd get yelled at but we'd do it again an loved it! If our parents knew the adventures we did they'd shet a brick!
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
Awww they are amazing horses and John Duncan and family have an amazing place there, that’s my home town Cumnock,born and bred, I had a gypsy vanner for years but always wanted a Clydesdale xx they are beautiful xx
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!
A neglected Skewbald Shetland pony changed my life 26yrs ago, now 32yrs old and going strong. Loves to follow me around and we have him at home with us.
THIS is the one attribute I experienced that was predominant - I was next to a Clydesdale that was bred to pull a beer wagon. I was a child, and he was not hitched as of then & I could feel such a mighty & majestic PRESENCE. So that is my take away that will NEVER leave me - his AWESOME PRESENCE ❗️
Just love them ...I rescued one ...we got off to a tough start...she had been in kill pin...took a while to gain her trust ...which I did ...she's the sweetest thing ever. ...I adore her. Ur video blessed me
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.
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. :)
My family had a Clydesdale but I was very young (18 months) I usually sat on him because he was a gentle giant. He was very sick so he sadly passed away but we will never forget him
Have been to Scotland twice (home of my Kerr ancestors) but didn’t know this place existed! If we go back it is Most certainly on my bucket list! Friendly Scots, typical of where Southern hospitality came from, and gorgeous horses. As someone who grew up riding cattle herding horses here in Florida, this place and it’s Clydesdales is amazing!
I own a Clydesdale cross. He’s a stocky 15.2. He’s amazing. Very funny. Full of character snd super powerful but very gentle. I love him to bits. I’ve enjoyed watching you ride these beautiful Clydesdales. You rode beautifully. The horses were all fantastic and looked super healthy. Xx
Outstanding! We just bought a black Percheron that stands 17.2. He’s basically a rescue that was deserving better than what he was getting. Standing in a stall for a year in muck, bad teeth, poor hoof confirmation and an infection due to the teeth. He’s coming along nicely and is a really good boy. There are a couple other drafts at the stables we’re at one is a shire. Mr Tango is HUGE! Gotta love the biguns!!!❤️
I love your quest. It is wonderful to get a peek into the lives of horse people. These animals are magnificent and your videos are about them, not you. Quite refreshing in this “selfie” culture. Thank you for a genuine experience.
I've always loved big animals the best, and draft horses are my favorite horses! I didn't know Clydesdales came in such a variety of colors, I'd only seen the Budweiser ones before. I did get to see them in person at our local fair & rodeo once when I was a kid. Sunny is absolutely gorgeous!
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.
im pretty sure its not allowed there, they do dock them for safety, they are horses bred to pull wagons and their tail can easly get caught in the harnesses! they do save them if they pull and leave a bit to do the bun, better safe then sorry
@@joannakennedy6005 Dog tails and dog ears are done for appearance sake and there is no justification for it. The other fella just explained a legitimate reason for docking tails of a work horse. Hysterical women such as yourself give fodder and lends legitimacy to labels like "Karen".
It was like a dream! :) I've been following a rescue of a clydesdale who is doing well now and so your video caught my eye. Wow! These scottish horses have magnificent condition with mane and tails....sleek and gorgeous! How fun I wouldn't want to leave either :)
I'm jealous. What an experience. There are too many things I love about Clydesdales to name one favorite quality. Their majestic beauty, their wonderful and kind spirits, their size
The first time i rode was when i was around 7, i rode a Clydesdale called Rum-pole and he was the most gentle giant. I was so tiny but loved him, the stables shut down and i miss him but he served me so well.
Had a fab ride on Bonnie Lass with Riley on the Bothwell estate Sept, 2022. Loved finding this video where I relived some of those big, beautiful Clydesdale moments with Blackstone's big lads and lassies. Thank you! Now on to your other Scottish breed videos.
Aww beautiful big fellas!! There is something magical about having a huge horse 💜 I have a huge stationbred, never measured but he's got to be at least 18hh...I'm 168cm and have to reach for his wither!! These boys are gorgeous- thanks for sharing!!
I will never forget the Clydesdale-Morgan cross I trained with in the 1980s. He would galumph up to the jump, sail over like a ballerina and then land with a boom. He was amazing! We all stopped to watch him which got the trainer angry. We didn’t care. He was beauty in motion!
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 ❤
If you are a horse/animal lover, what’s not to love about Clydesdale horse. Everything about them is magnificent. Their sheer size is jaw dropping alone but what melts your heart is that they are so gentle. In contrast you have the scrappy little Shetland pony who are Holy Terrors 😂
My grandfather, Alexander Moffat of Warrill Bank Farm via Harrisville in SE Qld bred and showed these horses and won many a prize in Agricultural Shows. He and his siblings and mother, emigrated to Qld. from SE Scotland and had working horses on their farm there with a corn mill at Milton Bridge.
This is an amazing wee video. I love horses but have a special place in my heart for Clydesdales. You are so lucky to be able to get up close and ride Sonny. He is a Total Powerhouse. I love these breeds.
I’m so glad my significant other lives in the UK. When I save up enough for our marriage visa I’m just going to HAVE to take a celebratory vacation here ! Thank you for this beautiful video. Heck I wonder if this man ever needs volunteer barn hands? I’m the type to love mucking horse stalls as long as it means being with the animals I love most.
Omg! what a lovely life, a farm filled with Clydesdales! The strength and shear beauty of the Clydesdale, is just so captivating. They demand our admiration, by their own majesty. What a beautiful ride! A wonderful video! One of my favorites you’ve made!
Born in St Louis, Mo. and the first time I saw them was Bud team at a store pulling the wagon. Magnificent. Just a little kid in 1953 but it stuck with me. They are my favorite horse breed. I now live in the desert southwest of USA.
Only once did I have the opportunity to ride a large breed horse (I do not remember the exact) except it takes exceptional balance with the horses broad back, however, the calm nature is to fall in love with.
I have clear memories of the pair in the field behind my grannie's house in Angus. At three and four I was always in that field.I would shelter under their front legs when it rained. Eighty years ago !
I had the pleasure of riding a Belgium mare. I got her up to a run and I felt as if I could feel the ground move. Some horses ride like a bumpy road but my mare, she was like a Rolls-Royce.
What a wonderful page. I've ridden a Clydesdale. He was about 3 years old and a lot quicker and lively than I was expecting. He was a beautiful ride and one I'll never forget.
What a cool video!! I LOVE how personable and happy all of these horses seem. What an amazing experience, riding such a magnificent animal in such beautiful countryside. I rode a Percheron years ago - he was awesome. But never more than a trot. Seeing these beauties running in the open fields was awe inspiring and looked like such fun! What a lovely, lovely farm.
My dad’s cousin has them. I’ve only been to her place once, and the horses were all so sweet, and interested. Very cool breed, size aside. I couldn’t own a tall horse with my prosthetic shoulder.
What is your favorite thing about Clydesdales?🐎
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?
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.

Seeing the gentle giants plus the wonderful breeder does not dock their beautiful tails!! Bless you 🙏 ♥
It's illegal to dock tails in the UK
@@princessbeaniewiggle As it should be everywhere
@@boyinblue. Agreed
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.
@@staceymavilia9510 Did you know that docking a horse's tail is cruel? That's why it's illegal in the UK
Their so big but gentle. So wonderful to see them in full flight.
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.
I’ve always been in awe of them. So majestic and seem to be real gentle giants. Thank you for sharing

So did my Dad! My grandfather was one of the last farmers in Ayrshire to use them.
Though a big horse I always love the way they move and with their feathering it makes them look so graceful.

Aww beautiful big fellas!! There is something magical about having a huge horse 💜 I have a huge stationbred, never measured but he's got to be at least 18hh...I'm 168cm and have to reach for his wither!! These boys are gorgeous- thanks for sharing!!
They are big beautiful,gentle,majestic horses.What an experience.❤
I will never forget the Clydesdale-Morgan cross I trained with in the 1980s. He would galumph up to the jump, sail over like a ballerina and then land with a boom. He was amazing! We all stopped to watch him which got the trainer angry. We didn’t care. He was beauty in motion!
Such beautiful animals!!! And Blackstone Clydesdale's is a very fine-looking farm!
My dad absolutely LOVES this breed !! 😍😍
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 ❤
can they run fast when you ride? most video I saw they kinda slow
@@redemissarium I don’t ride Clydesdales but yes they can go fast. All horses can.
Oh my god, so majestic, Percheron is a French horse ? They are so beautiful. I love horses so much. Thank you !!!!!
If you are a horse/animal lover, what’s not to love about Clydesdale horse. Everything about them is magnificent. Their sheer size is jaw dropping alone but what melts your heart is that they are so gentle. In contrast you have the scrappy little Shetland pony who are Holy Terrors 😂
My grandfather, Alexander Moffat of Warrill Bank Farm via Harrisville in SE Qld bred and showed these horses and won many a prize in Agricultural Shows. He and his siblings and mother, emigrated to Qld. from SE Scotland and had working horses on their farm there with a corn mill at Milton Bridge.
This is an amazing wee video. I love horses but have a special place in my heart for Clydesdales. You are so lucky to be able to get up close and ride Sonny. He is a Total Powerhouse. I love these breeds.
I’m so glad my significant other lives in the UK. When I save up enough for our marriage visa I’m just going to HAVE to take a celebratory vacation here !
Thank you for this beautiful video.
Heck I wonder if this man ever needs volunteer barn hands?
I’m the type to love mucking horse stalls as long as it means being with the animals I love most.
Omg! what a lovely life, a farm filled with Clydesdales!
The strength and shear beauty of the Clydesdale, is just so captivating.
They demand our admiration, by their own majesty. What a beautiful ride!
A wonderful video! One of my favorites you’ve made!
The Clyde Dale are the most beautiful looking horses.Just Gorgeous!!❤
It's the prettiest bread I have ever seen!!! They are just amazing and majestic!!
Thank you very much for taking us with you… these horses are giants with a big heart for humans…. Greetings from Germany
Born in St Louis, Mo. and the first time I saw them was Bud team at a store pulling the wagon. Magnificent. Just a little kid in 1953 but it stuck with me. They are my favorite horse breed. I now live in the desert southwest of USA.
They are such a calm breed even the stallions are so calm the shire is alot like their clysdale relatives
Only once did I have the opportunity to ride a large breed horse (I do not remember the exact) except it takes exceptional balance with the horses broad back, however, the calm nature is to fall in love with.
Magnifique!God bless Horses Scotland on all my friends, they are living there! ❤
Very confident riding, good control and command over robust horse ,pl upload such more videos for encouragement especially for new entrants thanks
Sunny is beautiful!! Isn't that the best ride you've ever had? Like riding a cloud 💜
That place is awesome 👍
Great video as always ! Such lovely gentle giants and the scottish landscape just beautiful!
Thanks so much Christina!
Hello how are you doing
Such extraordinary horses!! I rode Clydesdales for a few years in New Jersey, USA... Unforgettable in every way!! 🐴♥️🐴
I have clear memories of the pair in the field behind my grannie's house in Angus. At three and four I was always in that field.I would shelter under their front legs when it rained. Eighty years ago !
what incredible horses and a magnificent part of the world!!
I had the pleasure of riding a Belgium mare. I got her up to a run and I felt as if I could feel the ground move.
Some horses ride like a bumpy road but my mare, she was like a Rolls-Royce.
Belgian 🥰
everything they are just fantastic!
What a wonderful page. I've ridden a Clydesdale. He was about 3 years old and a lot quicker and lively than I was expecting. He was a beautiful ride and one I'll never forget.
I love all horses, (mine especially) but the monster-sized beasts really get my heart racing. They’re spectacular.
What a cool video!! I LOVE how personable and happy all of these horses seem. What an amazing experience, riding such a magnificent animal in such beautiful countryside. I rode a Percheron years ago - he was awesome. But never more than a trot. Seeing these beauties running in the open fields was awe inspiring and looked like such fun! What a lovely, lovely farm.
Love that he’s too busy having fun, jumping around that he can’t keep up with the lead horse 😂 so cute! ❤
Everything about them is PERFECT
My dad’s cousin has them. I’ve only been to her place once, and the horses were all so sweet, and interested. Very cool breed, size aside. I couldn’t own a tall horse with my prosthetic shoulder.
12:02 I know horses have a special smell and gentle spirit, even with as much toughness and go in their heart as a mountain
I love these horses they are so comfortable to ride and their gate is one of the smoothest .Their one of the best breeds in my opinion to ride.❤️👍😊
Agreed! Please what is your number one breed to ride?
Growing up I owned a Clydesdale named Triferra. Loved him and he was the sweetest, nicest being I have ever met.
You found a great breeder!! Love the stalls and all the land. It's all so beautiful. Lucky lady!!!!
