Clydesdales are large, strong horses. Their characteristic features include their slightly curved Roman noses, their long ears and their short necks. They have a friendly temperament and are industrious and versatile.

. Although Clydesdales tend to be stocky and extremely heavy, they can move very elegantly. They are famous for their gait: they lift their beautiful white legs very high and with great force. For this reason, they aren’t just used as draught horses, but also for shows, and they’re also excellent horses for riding.
