[what's this?] The Clydesdale is a highly recognizable draft horse breed originating from farms in the Clydesdale district of Scotland. Clydesdale horses are graceful, calm and well known for their distinctive appearance, including their signature long, strong, feathered legs and so-called bald face white facial markings.
A horse is measured from the ground to the withers (the tip of its shoulders), in units called hands (one hand equals 10.2 cm or 4 in.). Adult male Clydesdales measure 17 to 19 hands (1.7-1.9 m or 5.7-6.3 ft.). A male's average weight is between 771 to 998 kg (1,700-2,200 lb.).
