Clydesdales were developed in the valley of the River Clyde in Scotland. Originally used as a work horse, the Clydesdale has become a very popular parade horse. A typical Clydesdale stands 16.2 hands high and weighs anywhere between 1600 - 2000 pounds.
The normal gestation period of a Clydesdale is 11 months. New born foals weigh approximately 125 pounds and stand 3 1/2" feet tall. They are often brown or bay in color with blazed faces and white stockings are common markings. The other distinctive feature of the Clydesdale is the abundant feathering on the fetlocks.
