Saw these fella's on our North Beach coffee and cake run. Not sure if they are even Clydes, but they are horses (I'm pretty sure of that much) and they had big feet.

What was your ride today?

As the self proclaimed horse expert here, I must advise you that those are Belgian Draft horses lol. They are handsome fellas but not nearly as handsome as a Clydsdale. Looks like it was a nice ride though, thanks for the pic!

They are actually better plow horses than Clydesdales because they have shorter legs and tire less easily. The Amish use them all the time for field work.

The black one's a Shire, beautiful horse. Belgians are pretty common around here as well. You don't see Clydes very ofter actually, although we used to hvae one here at our stable that a woman actually rode dressage on, now THAT was something to see lol. God I miss riding horses.....
