How calm and responsive these lovely horses are. A mixed bunch of stallions could get lively!

Such majestic animals! My entire family are "horse people". Dad's family are Scottish and Clydesdales are of course their favorite breed. He so loved to see them whether working or prancing in a parade, his eyes would mist up but he'd be grinning from ear to ear. Thank you for sharing.

My goodness, what a wonderful life or job, to work with great and beautiful horses as these. I've always admired the breed,so envy your position. Beautiful creatures!!

Why does the tail look like that???

It's a traditional thing for showing draught horses. By trimming their tails, you ensure that the hair would not get caught in the chains or reins when ploughing, etc.

Hello from Gippsland Australia. Love this vid. Thanks for sharing. I’ve just started riding a Clydesdale gelding. He is a lovely boy with a great temperament. Fantastic horses.

If I ever manage to get out of this middle class rut in life and make some serious money , one of the first things I wanna do is open a horse/donkey rescue of some kind. They are so beautiful.

Beautiful Babe, love to watch him walking around with guys

The horses are beautiful only one thing :they should have a nice long tail. They have hairs on the tail why does that have to go. You can also see the musculature if you keep the tail aside for a moment .The horses are beautiful yet have a question they have a Curl coat?

Is the older lady checking each gorgeous creature to pick one to buy?

Yes, it is called a parade, in order to award premium status to some stallions. It takes place every year in Northern Ireland.

I LIVE IN IRELAND :D i wish i was there ;(

Is that curls in their coat or just a winter coat?

@tadhgpheaitwillie

It is their coat "soaped up"to give them a bulkier appearance. Many cattle show-people do it too. It is very common when showing Cydesdales in Ireland and Scotland.

Do they foam and bubble-up if it rains? I've got this comical vision of a great bubbly mass of a stallion prancing in front of the judges. Is it really soap that's used? Can it be good for their skin if it is?

Are there tails cut short,or plaited,beautiful babies,sad they have too be tortured so people can see them prance

@tadhgpheaitwillie

Sorry, I don't really understand what you are getting at there. What torture are you talking about? In relation to their tails: the tails are shaved to the dock, but the dock is left completely entire.

Why are they not on grass? They are very quiet for stallions

@tadhgpheaitwillie

The parade is held at a livestock market/mart, and there is no grass. It also takes place in the spring, and in which case it can be too wet to have horses on grass.

are these stallions over 18hh

Why mess with the tail? Makes the horse seem unbalanced. Is there any practical reason for it? Surely doesn’t help the horse manage flies back there?

@tadhgpheaitwillie

It is traditional, because when ploughing, the hair would get tangled in the lines and chains, and therefore the tail was clipped.

I agree. I would never dock a horse's tail. It is banned in Ireland and in Britain and Northern Ireland. These horses's tails in the video are fully intact, just on a point of order, and the hair is shaved down to the tailbone.
