They dгаw 10 horses as well as all supplies, from grooming tools and basic veterinary kits to portable stalls and farrier tools. The only thing they don’t bring with them is feed, which is sent individually to wherever their next stay will be.
6. It takes a team of five people only 30 minutes to completely braid eight Clydesdales before a public appearance. Four people take care of the manes and just one does tail.
7. After being admitted for an entгу-level handler job that demands an agriculture-related degree and customer service background, the Budweiser Clydesdale support staff tours about 300 days of travel a year.
