Awesome video! I just love listen to there steel shoes on concrete with the jingle of the heal chains! Something that everyone heard back in the day! Express Clydesdales, you looking amazing again!! I am a huge Clydesdale fan! Used to have my own team of Clydesdales and trained many a young Clydesdale for harness!! Awesome memories!!

Love The Blue Ribbon Days Bells!!!

Six horses = six horsepower.

Why did she physically correct the middle horse at 1:10 like that? Surely the front horses were the ones needing guidance to begin with... What'd middle horse do to deserve being jabbed in the kidney by the back of a crop?

Thats not where the kidney is on horses.... probably needed some location correction... Moved in. Same as you would do if you were riding and you wanted a horse to move over... using your heels..... All the horses need to work together stride equal snap equal and spacing.... Thats why its called a team...

Veering to the right which would cause the wheel horses to veer aswell. I agree with your question, not a very good way to correct. Fat and dumb woman.

Unfortunately the Scotch Bottom shoes on those Percherons do them a disservice by unnaturally enlarging the hooves. The risks of such practices have been criticized by renowned farriers like Michael Wildenstein and Ray Legel! Totally unnecessary to put oversized plates on the horses.

@@christelchristely2816 A big horse needs a big foot. But, in America this has led to excesses: Hooves are artificially enlarged, sometimes with putty, and oversized shoes to make the foot appear larger. The showmanship has overpowered good horsemanship to the detriment of the horses!

What happened 2 their TAILS!

@Nico-rd7ur

The tails (bone) has been docked (shortened) when they were young. However, the hair then grows down longer. This way they can still swat flies when needed. When it is show time, the hair on the tails are braided and then bought upward and tied up. The final touch is a bow. This keep the tails out of the harnes while showing.

They were amputated, through the bone. These horses will suffer with fly bites for the rest of their lives. I’ve owned exactly one docked draft horse who had more bone left than these and he was never able to swat flies properly. Winter was the only truly comfortable time of year for him. Every draft horse I’ve purchased since has been undocked. I can’t support such a cruel and thoughtless practice after seeing the consequences for the animal first hand.

The overchecks are too tight, and contribute to the discomfort of the horses by forcing their heads into an unnatural position. Judges should not honor such practices!
