Budweiser Clydesdales being trained for their Adverts

[RutlandH2O]

I just watched a wonderful video on YouTube called Journey to the Super Bowl. It's just over 9 minutes long and shows the Budweiser Clydesdales being trained to perform in their famous adverts for the Super Bowl. The realisation that most of the stunts are NOT photoshopped and that the horses are actually trained almost like dogs is quite astonishing. Take a look, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely awesome. For such big horses they're incredibly agile and what a massive jump !

LittleBlackMule, thanks for the link. Glad everyone has enjoyed it. I could watch those Clydes, and their trainer, all evening! For those of you who aren't familiar with the adverts, just go to YouTube and type in Budweiser Clydesdale Super Bowl Commercials. There are more than a dozen. You will be so entertained.

My all-time favourite is the Donkey...having Shires, a Clyde and donkeys, it just hit the spot. When it came to the "hair extensions," I fell off my chair. I still do, despite the fact that I've seen the advert dozens of times!
