Clydesdale fans?

[DarenCogdon]

Are there any other Clydesdale fanatics on here?

I've been a fan of these big hairy monsters almost since I first sat on a horse!

This is me with one of my previous share horses, Bracken (17.2hh gelding):

Bareback riding to the field:

Hi Darren, lovely pics, thanks for sharing.

Mine is a Clydesdale x and he is a fab boy! Although I would love to ride a pure bred Clydesdale to compare!

Love clydsdales! used to help look after one years ago named Danny,he was my favourite

 

[WelshMisfit]

I love them, love them, love them!!

Have always leant towards the finer type of horse but since discovering Clydesdales, I have fallen completely in love with them.

There was a youngster at a local in hand show recently and he was sooooo lovely. All long legs and awkward gangliness but he was so cute! I just wanted to take him home with me

That Clydie stallion is beautiful!

I love Clydesdale's! I worked on a farm recently and there was a 5 yr old one called Benny, i so wanted to ride him! I went Cheshire Show in 2011 and there was a display with two Clydesdale's doing dressage to music they were amazing one was only a 5 yr old too!!

Any pics?

A friend of mine has a Welsh D, but I'm convinced he has a bit of "heavy" in him (he's more like a mini Clydie!)

Another friend of mine used to ride hers in dressage....

....and some SJ and XC, too! AND he used to win!

Sovereign - telling me what he thinks of getting his photo taken!

Angus - 19hh of squishy cuddles!

Sovereign - up close and personal!

My cuddly Clydie herd!

 

[Tayto]

Yes!!!! I have always admired them, and finally a few weeks ago I bought my own - well she is Clydesdale x cob but definitely got a clydie face and legs. She has the sweetest personality and I keep wondering if it is too good to be true that I have managed to find such a loving, gentle horse!

 

[DarenCogdon]

I think we need to see some photos....

 

[Ancient Hacker]

Yes please, more pics!

It would be fabulous to hear more about the gentle giants from their owners - their characteristics, their weaknesses (and don't anyone say they can't jump, I've seen pics ) and what to look for when buying one. I have fallen in love with them, and going to view some later this month

 

[DarenCogdon]

I've jumped on a Clydesdale!

 

[RutlandH2O]

I've got some photos of my late pure Clyde, but I'm having trouble posting them from my Photobucket account. Help!

 

[googol]

My sister just got a Clydesdale x cob and we all love her already such a brilliant temperament wish I could post a pic but I'm too stoooopid

Oh ! I have one of those tell me about yours .

 

[ShadowFlame]

I've known two full Clydies... one at a riding school, the other I helped look after for a while. Both had the same puppy-dog temperament and were absolutely gorgeous

Hands up and waves...I've got mini-Clyde!
