Let’s also appreciate the *hours* of hard work by grooms & handlers to get these horses, harness, & wagon into spotless condition for a two minute trot around the field. Horses are awesome, but they don’t get clean or into harness by themselves, lol.
Saw them on a tour at the St.Louis Bud plant when I was a kid. We got to go into the barn and stalls to see them and I can tell you they are the MOST pampered animals probably on the planet. It was IMMACULATE. I don't know if they do that tour anymore which would be unfortunate.
Dwayne Hilton is the primary St. Louis Cardinals organist at Busch Stadium. He does an outstanding job. On the occasions when Hilton is not available, the Cardinals have one or two backup organists. Including, Jeremy Boyer, who is the organist for the NHL's St. Louis Blues.
Also love the ad where the young Clydesdale is trying to pull the wagon and it starts to move. Then you see 2 adult horses pushing the wagon from behind.

Grew up in St. Louis and visited the Busch Brewery (which houses the Clydesdales) many times. Everytime I see them I tear up. Such magnificent animals and Anheuser Busch does a phenomenal job caring for them. Keep up the great work!
I’m not even a Cardinals fan but this brought tears to my eyes. This is awesome. I didn’t know this was a tradition for them but having watched it, I love it.
I cried too. I would have been the little old lady jumping up and down crying in the stands that the cameras kept focusing on!!! I've watched it over and over again.
Actually real reindeer aren't tiny. They are big animals. The Santa Clause with Tim Allen showed how they really look. Where the idea began that reindeer are tiny I don't know.
=) Doing what a Dalmation was born to do❤😊 -- Guard the horses, carriage/ wagon .....When the people are otherwise occupied. ..... Traditionally they ran beneath the carriage/ coach when on the road traveling in the countryside. (imo: Not the best temperament for a pet, in an apartment -- High need for exercise ... or in a house with little children. But really nice dogs!)
I got choked up just watching the video on my phone. Being there to witness that must have been beyond incredible!!! Those are some lucky folks in the stands.
I would be crying like a baby if I saw them irl. They've been a favorite of mine since I was a little kid. And you know how young girls are obsessive about horses!! lol
This brings such a tear to my eye and I don't really know why. I guess it's because it's something nostalgic from the past that was good and innocent and that's not what we have in the world at the moment. But we can always hope can't we?
Don't know why this video chokes me up so much! Guess it's nostalgia. So many things come & gone over the years & this past year. Gorgeous, majestic animals. 🐴🐴
And don't forget the music. If I remember right they started with that tune when they first did the prancing around with their Clydesdales and still using the same tune. Never changed or even switched it in the ballpark. They might have outside the ballpark.
@@kathleenambrose877 Friend & I got lost at pre KY Derby events and ended up in the stables. Spent an hour with the Clydesdales and their handlers. One of my life's very best memories!
I'm around horses everyday - Its how I make a livin - but I admit -:this choked me up a bit - These Horses transcend any event , time or place - They are beyond Iconic -
I'm in the UK and these heavy horse teams are brought out regularly for county agriculture shows and other events. The one for this area is The Great Yorkshire Show and there's usually about a dozen teams of various horses, Shires, Clydesdales and Percherons mostly. Massive care is taken in the presentation and care of horses and equipment. But seeing a parade of these beautiful animals as they approach and leave the showring is totally amazing. Many of the horses are kept in stables close to the ring during the show days and the public have access to them, stroking them and having photos taken etc. Some horses have their stables netted off as they can be biters but most can be stroked. The Shires are the biggest at over 18 hands. Before showing in the ring, each and every one is groomed out in the space between the stables and THIS in particular pulls an audience. These horses are my favourite of everything that the show has.
I thought I was the only one! I was actually just sitting here thinking does anyone else cry when they see these horses? It’s crazy they affect me this way. I’m glad I’m not alone.
Interesting to see how the spectators „watched“ through their phones instead of watching the real thing with their eyes! Lovely to watch the almost perfect timing of the horses.
You can watch and record at the same time. It just takes practice and good coordination. It's amazing to see something like this but being able to rewatch it forever is also priceless. I record more and more random snippets of my life specifically BECAUSE there are so many I wish I had. Memories are precious but they also change and fade over the years. Pictures and videos immortalize those moments.
Oh I cried right away as soon as I heard the song! This touched me. I've been going through a tough stretch this year . I've always loved horses. These are super special with all the care, work and training going into this 8 up hitch!🙋♀️💓🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
I'm not even a Cardinals fan, but I still think this is one of the absolute best traditions in ALL of sports!! Just imagine how much better it will be next year when the stands are FULL!
It is going to be this way until Biden is out of office. This is 100% a political virus.

Clydesdale, heavy draft-horse breed that originated in Lanarkshire, Scotland, near the River Clyde. The breed was improved about 1715 by mating a Flemish stallion with local mares; Shire blood was later introduced. Clydesdales were taken to North America about 1842 but never became a popular draft horse there.
Haven’t watched this in a few months but it was recommended again so had to watch it. Cried all over again. This is such a wonderful tradition and the horses are just beautiful.
Even as a NY Met fan I appreciate this. One of the best traditions in all of sports. Would love to see the Clydesdales marching to Here comes the King in person.
If you haven't seen them in person, you're missing out. You can feel the ground rumble when they go by. They are magnificent and so pampered. That's a lot of work for just a few minutes out there. Do you know just one of their neck collars costs $40,000? Their horseshoes weigh about 4 pounds each and that wagon weighs close to 4 tons. They usually come down here for our Rodeo and our county fair but haven't heard if they will be here this weekend or not. With all this Covid, no telling.

Not sure where you live, but the Clydesdales are scattered about the country if you include breed and training farms. You should Google it, I've seen them in person in St Louis at the brewery those were just mares and foals. The teams on the wagons are usually geldings. It's definitely worth it if you can make it.
Around 1980 I was taking a couple tours in Natchez, Mississippi and out of sheer luck the Budweiser Clydesdales were in town. They where on the street; they were not harnessed up yet, but I could get within 10 yards of them and I was in awe of their magnificent presence. Sharon, don’t wait to see them. I am sure the marketing department puts their tour schedule on the internet and they might be pulling the beer wagon at town/city near you.
Lovely horses...I kept thinking of the hours of meticulous grooming that went into the Budweiser parade all for a few minutes showtime. I appreciate every minute of that time. 💙👍☮️
This will never get old for me. I am balling my eyes out. They are so beautiful, and they look as if they are dancing. I would love seeing them up close, but I am grateful for youtube.
If you ever go to St. Louis and if the Clydesdales are in town, you can actually do a walk through of their stables for an up close look at these fabulous horses. I was there 10 or 12 years ago, and they had a new foal born. Who knows, maybe that foal was one of the horses pulling this team, now?
Shires & Clydesdales are the gentle giants of the horse world. My favourite horse I ever rode was a Shire Clydesdale cross named Samson. I loved to be in the last ride before the end of the day at the stables so I could put him out in the field. He would always slowly lower his head for me to take his bridle off before he wandered off into the field. Sadly he's no longer with us.
never saw them personally,but did stand beside a mom & baby years ago at a vet hospital I worked at.they are absolutely the most gentle,beautiful horses ever. The baby was almost as tall as me. these horses are stunning
Seeing the Budweiser Clydesdales in person in a parade route all set is an amazing thing , they are gigantic. Since they are worth a ton of money the handlers don't let anyone near them or touch them at all. Whenever they are in their stables in between walks they put a border up to keep people from getting up close to the stalls and then when they're hitched up onto the wagon the security crew warns everyone to keep back and don't touch the team (the horses). The handlers and crew aren't very friendly to people and that's mostly because their work schedule and the money they make for that kind of job , Budweiser pays them very good money.
I felt the same way when I was living away from Philly and would here the "Rocky" theme. I only live abt 20mins from the Rocky statue at the Philadelphia Arr Museum.
They are iconic ! Even in the 21st Century, this is still stirring and a happy sight !! A friend worked at Busch Gardens in Tampa and took my Dad into see them in the stalls. My Dad was elderly, and our friend wanted him to see them up close and personal ! So nice. Love those Big Boys !!! The two guys and dog, too !!
These "Gentle Giants" are sooooooo MAJESTIC, well behaved and just downright soul uplifting to view. I don't doubt that the audiences applause and the snappy music causes them to prance with a little more pride in their step. Simply Beautiful. An animal lover from CANADA.
Always such a beautiful thing. Major props to the driver. I had enough of a time just driving my one little pony in her cart. Can’t imagine trying to handle that many lines at once, keeping them all in rhythm. And the massive amounts of care that is required by all the folks behind the scenes taking care of these lovely creatures every day, wow. I got to see them my first time in 1974 or 75? I was really little. They were at a parade my mom took me to. I remember looking up at them and they were soooooo massive to my little 4 year old self. I got to see them one other time in parade as a teen, and saw one of their road teams at a truck stop one day where they had stopped for fuel and lunch. Got to actually see them up close that day and talk to the folks that handle them. Nicest folks you’d ever meet. They really love their charges.
it's amazing, it's been decades since Bud used that jingle, yet I STILL REMEMBER all the words. it was the BEST jingle ever for a beer. and I'll always remember seeing the horses in person when I was a little girl. we called all Clydesdales 'budweiser horses" until my dad told us they were actually clydesdales. well, they're still Budweiser horses to me. :-)
@ GoddessNeith Clydesdales are a draft horse breed that originated in Scotland. Every area of the UK as well as almost every large district of every other country used to have their own regional variations on draft horses. These breeds were imported and bred in USA. You may (or may not) find these two videos interesting: " *A tribute to Clydesdale Horses - The Good Servant* " th-cam.com/video/QecWr7bnCVM/w-d-xo.html (*Spoiler alert:* The part about the Clydesdales is in the first 18:28 minutes ... the rest is another topic ...

These horses are magnificent animals. The person who takes care of them is awesome. Please don't let their hooves get messed up. They are made to be looked at an admired. I wish I could get an ornament that looks like them.
Patriotic, beautiful, amazing, reminds you of what this wonderful country is all about !!! Brings tears to your eyes because you & I like millions of loyal Americans still love our country. God will not fail us!!
We failed God! He will never leave us nor forsake us.... unless we walk away from Him. Think of all the commandments that are broken in this country that we never would have in the previous years like in the hay day of these beautiful animals.
These are the most beautiful animals I've ever seen...so proud and majestic. The trainers and groomers are to be highly commended for all the hard work they put in with these gorgeous creatures.
I worked for Budweiser in my younger years. I was fortunate to have worked with the team when they came to visit the Bay Area. It is something I’ll never forget and cherish.
I took a tour of the Budweiser plant in St. Louis and you get to see the Clydesdale horses that are stationed there. So beautiful and majestic! Definitely the highlight of the trip.
I had no idea you had these horses in America. They're beautiful - also the shire horse. Known as being very gentle natured - like st Bernard's and Newfoundland dogs.
Dear God in the name of JESUS CHRIST our Lord and Savior Thank you for giving us these magnificent Horses! Love love them so much! Truly a gift from God! Blessings always.
Religion stole God from me ... all I saw was negativity and divisiveness. I wanted nothing to do with doctrines .. and dogma which claimed only one path to God was the correct one. Then I studied quantum physics and God returned ... flooding my life and heart with the awareness of a common consciousness ... a common energy ... uniting as all. I see God everywhere ... in me and you and those beautiful horses. In the wind and my cat purring beside me. And then the message becomes "empathy" ... connecting every particle in the Cosmos 🙏
I just love seeing them again. I would like to see more of them. They take me back to better times and knowing they are still here makes me feel there might still be hope for better times again.
What a MAGNIFICENT display and tradition! Such majesty and grace! It was also wonderful to hear the Budweiser song that was so popular when I was young. It brought back so many fond memories.
Magnificent creatures. My little girl and I were at a fair and right in the front row as they brought them out and these are some big ole horsies. BEAUTIFUL.
I get a very happy and joyful feeling in my heart and really feel the excitement of watching These Beautiful and Majestic Creatures march around the baseball field. That's America! May God Save us all.

That's because beer is more important than what Santo brings.

so sure compared to the clydesdales they are tiny, but reindeer are massive when it comes to deer.

There's nothing like it😍! I had the pleasure at Topsfield Fair.
As a Dodger fan, I’m so jealous. Hands down the best mascots in all of baseball, hell, ALL SPORTS! So majestic....
They are iconic ! Even in the 21st Century, this is still stirring and a happy sight !! A friend worked at Busch Gardens in Tampa and took my Dad into see them in the stalls. My Dad was elderly, and our friend wanted him to see them up close and personal ! So nice. Love those Big Boys !!! The two guys and dog, too !!
These "Gentle Giants" are sooooooo MAJESTIC, well behaved and just downright soul uplifting to view. I don't doubt that the audiences applause and the snappy music causes them to prance with a little more pride in their step. Simply Beautiful. An animal lover from CANADA.
They brought tears to my eyes!!! They are sooooo BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you.
Beautiful animals that bring joy to my heart!
Always such a beautiful thing. Major props to the driver. I had enough of a time just driving my one little pony in her cart. Can’t imagine trying to handle that many lines at once, keeping them all in rhythm. And the massive amounts of care that is required by all the folks behind the scenes taking care of these lovely creatures every day, wow. I got to see them my first time in 1974 or 75? I was really little. They were at a parade my mom took me to. I remember looking up at them and they were soooooo massive to my little 4 year old self. I got to see them one other time in parade as a teen, and saw one of their road teams at a truck stop one day where they had stopped for fuel and lunch. Got to actually see them up close that day and talk to the folks that handle them. Nicest folks you’d ever meet. They really love their charges.
it's amazing, it's been decades since Bud used that jingle, yet I STILL REMEMBER all the words. it was the BEST jingle ever for a beer. and I'll always remember seeing the horses in person when I was a little girl. we called all Clydesdales 'budweiser horses" until my dad told us they were actually clydesdales. well, they're still Budweiser horses to me. :-)
@ GoddessNeith
Clydesdales are a draft
horse breed that originated
in Scotland. Every area of
the UK as well as almost
every large district of every
other country used to have
their own regional variations
on draft horses. These breeds
were imported and bred in
USA.

Love Love these horses an the dog too makes my heart smile
I love those horses...so beautiful it gives me goosebumps every time!
Bless their hearts! They're really something to see.
These horses are magnificent animals. The person who takes care of them is awesome. Please don't let their hooves get messed up. They are made to be looked at an admired. I wish I could get an ornament that looks like them.
Don't forget the dalmatian ! They're always so beautiful !
Patriotic, beautiful, amazing, reminds you of what this wonderful country is all about !!! Brings tears to your eyes because you & I like millions of loyal Americans still love our country. God will not fail us!!
We failed God! He will never leave us nor forsake us.... unless we walk away from Him. Think of all the commandments that are broken in this country that we never would have in the previous years like in the hay day of these beautiful animals.
There is no “God” guys. The sooner you stop believing in fairy tales the better.
Such an amazing, beautiful, majestic animal! Love, love these Budweiser Clydesdales!
These are the most beautiful animals I've ever seen...so proud and majestic. The trainers and groomers are to be highly commended for all the hard work they put in with these gorgeous creatures.
Congratulations Busch Stadium for the reopening. I love your Clydesdale horses, so majestic.
I worked for Budweiser in my younger years. I was fortunate to have worked with the team when they came to visit the Bay Area. It is something I’ll never forget and cherish.
How wonderful it would be to see them live. Beautiful animals
I took a tour of the Budweiser plant in St. Louis and you get to see the Clydesdale horses that are stationed there. So beautiful and majestic! Definitely the highlight of the trip.
Just so moving. Makes me cry every time I see it. 🙏❤🐎
I’ve seen them in person, they are HUGE. And so pretty, they live like kings, as they should. Such a great tradition, I’m glad they’ve kept it up.
I had no idea you had these horses in America. They're beautiful - also the shire horse. Known as being very gentle natured - like st Bernard's and Newfoundland dogs.
I did too as a kid and your right. They live a VERRRRY nice life.
I love these horsies! ❤️ What a fun tradition!
I would have gone just to see the majestic Clydesdales.
I have been watching Clydesdales from previous Opening Days just to get ready for Opening Day 2021!
Dear God in the name of JESUS CHRIST our Lord and Savior Thank you for giving us these magnificent Horses! Love love them so much! Truly a gift from God! Blessings always.
Nothing to do with a god.
Religion stole God from me ... all I saw was negativity and divisiveness. I wanted nothing to do with doctrines .. and dogma which claimed only one path to God was the correct one.
Then I studied quantum physics and God returned ... flooding my life and heart with the awareness of a common consciousness ... a common energy ... uniting as all. I see God everywhere ... in me and you and those beautiful horses. In the wind and my cat purring beside me. And then the message becomes "empathy" ... connecting every particle in the Cosmos 🙏
That was wonderful! So happy to see the Clydesdale horses out there! Thank you for sharing
When I was a kid my dad would take me down to every home opener and watch them get hitch up
Always awesome
They are majestic and magnificent. The most incredible sight to see. ♥️
Style and enjoyment cubed. The handlers, drivers and Dalmatian along with the organist were top notch.
I just love seeing them again. I would like to see more of them. They take me back to better times and knowing they are still here makes me feel there might still be hope for better times again.
What a MAGNIFICENT display and tradition! Such majesty and grace! It was also wonderful to hear the Budweiser song that was so popular when I was young. It brought back so many fond memories.
We've all needed this for so long. SPECTACULAR!
Thank you, such gorgeous animals; we need to see more of them!🤗😁💖
When you say bud you've said it all !!! Grew up with the Clydesdales ❤
Me Too
Budweiser is piss water.
Absolutely gorgeous....the real deal...so much training involved! Thank you Busch for still keeping them in your advertising. We just love them!
Magnificent creatures. My little girl and I were at a fair and right in the front row as they brought them out and these are some big ole horsies. BEAUTIFUL.
They make me emotional just because they are so amazing!
I get a very happy and joyful feeling in my heart and really feel the excitement of watching These Beautiful and Majestic Creatures march around the baseball field. That's America! May God Save us all.
That was awesome. I’m glad that Budweiser still breeds and maintains these horses.
Always look forward to Opening Day especially for our majestic Clydesdales and the great Cardinals.
They are so beautiful!
I cry everytime I see them...this is the most beautiful thing to see and these horses are pure joy to my soul....EVERY TIME!!! Thank you, Saint Louis!
What beautiful animals, so good to see them back, always love their commercials.
This video made my day!!!! I love these horses. I wish they were seen more frequently.
I don't even drink beer but think I should buy some Bud anyway just to support these magnificent animals! Thanks for sharing them with us!!
This brought a tear to my eye, so beautiful, alot of effort goes into these horses and the owners and the driver ought to feel so proud!
Each one of those horses have some really good hooman friends. These beautiful creatures always give me chills
These horses are so magnificent and so are the rest of the team.
How cool is that! Clydesdales are so majestic!
I saw them in Colorado. They're beautiful. Have a couple Budweiser calendars in perfect condition. I never get tired of the Clydesdales.
Oh my goodness. Such beauty in motion. The Dalmatian is a beaut as well. This was a great video!!
I love those horses, being there and seeing them in person must have been wonderful.
Saw them at one of the farms in New Hampshire. They are amazing. Hard to believe how big they are until you are near one. They are majestic creatures!
I'm a Mets fan from the beginning, but this is absolutely wonderful. What a great, great tradition. Here's a toast to you, St. Louis!
I just clicked this to watch these beautiful horses. They are magnificent, and so graceful.
