Clydesdales are noted for their rugged grace and versatility; they are strong yet amiable animals exceeding 18 hands (1.8 metres or 6 feet) in height and over one ton (2204 pounds) in weight.
Further developed to meet the practical needs of early 19th century Scotland, the Clydesdale is thought to have arisen from the mid-18th century cross breeding of local mares with larger English and Flemish stock perhaps originally developed for use as warhorses.
Clydesdales are now most often seen in competitive agricultural exhibitions such as state, county and national fairs.
