1. The Characteristics of a Clydesdale Horse
The Clydesdale Horse is known for its weight, quality and height. It doesn’t display too much contour with its bulk and doesn’t look gross, although weight is an important feature and characteristic of the Clydesdale Horse. For their weight and size, the horse is very active and hence very popular in small towns and cities as well.
The Clydesdale Horse usually stands sixteen to eighteen hands tall and can weight anything between seventeen to two thousand pounds as well. The older stallions can go above two thousand pounds too. In conclusion, the Clydesdale Horse is very intelligent, lively and the temperament is known to be the best amongst all horse breeds.
It is actually the size and the weight of any Clydesdale horse, which forms its characteristics. These are the most important traits looked for by any enthusiast who wants to own a Clydesdale horse that has good standing. Even the feet and the limbs of a Clydesdale horse are looked into with great zeal. Experts agree that on a Clydesdale horse, the feet should be open and round, and the hoof heads should be springy and wide. It is important for this breed of horse to be active, however too much exaggeration isn’t accepted.
The Clydesdale horse’s forelegs should be above the horse’s shoulders. It shouldn’t look like that of a bulldog and the shoulders should hang well and straight all the way to the fetlock joint. The knees should be enclosed well and there shouldn’t be any knocking inclinations at all. The same thing should be for the hind legs on any Clydesdale horse. The hocks shouldn’t be turned outwards; rather they should be inwards with long pasterns for stability.
The Clydesdale horse should have silky and long hair, which would be a mark of distinction. The attention should be where the hair falls below the knees of the Clydesdale horse and the trot should look stylish overall. The Clydesdale horse should also have a forehead, which is open, not to miss the broad in between its eyes, and flat front face as well. The muzzle should be wide, the nostrils of the Clydesdale horse should be large and finally, a Clydesdale horse should have bright, intelligent and very clear eyes.

The neck on the Clydesdale horse should be long and well arched. It should spring from the shoulders, which should be oblique and high. The back of the Clydesdale horse shouldn’t be long, but short. Check the ribs of the Clydesdale horse, and it should be well sprung, which are the traits of a well-groomed horse. Finally, the Clydesdale horse should have strong sinews and muscled thighs as well.
You would find the Clydesdale horse in various colors, such as brown, bay and black. Some even are in solid body colors with tufts of white hair here and there on the shiny coat. You would also have Clydesdale horses that come in roan and chestnuts as well. The face of the Clydesdale horse would be white, and the legs as well along with some parts of
