The Clydesdale horse is beautiful, majestic, and strong. Who knew, though, that they were also funny?
This old Budweiser commercial from 2005 features the famed Clydesdale horses in all their splendor as they compete in a snowball fight in the middle of a winter day. Even after seeing it multiple times, I still adore it! not have survived.
Did you know? On April 7, 1933, August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch III presented their father, August A. Busch, Sr., with a six-horse Clydesdale harness to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition. As the beer hitch traveled the country transporting cases of Budweiser, the Clydesdales were in in demand as marketers began to recognize the potential business benefits of a horse-drawn beer wagon. Anheuser-Busch currently has about 250 Clydesdales under its care. According to the company, they “continue to be an enduring sign of the brewer’s legacy, tradition, and attention to quality.”
