[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.
The breed was developed from Flemish stallions imported to Scotland and crossed with local mares. The first recorded use of the name Clydesdale for the breed was in 1826, and by 1830 a system of hiring stallions had begun that resulted in the spread of Clydesdale horses throughout Scotland and into northern England.he breed was developed from Flemish stallions imported to Scotland and crossed with local mares.
