Budweiser Clydesdales fun facts
- Each of the Clydesdales’ handcrafted harnesses and collars weigh approximately 130 pounds.
- The Budweiser Clydesdales are given short names, such as Duke, Mark and Bud, to make it easier for the driver to command the horses during a performance.
- Budweiser Clydesdales’ horseshoes measure more than 20 inches from end to end and weigh about 5 pounds.
- Dalmatians were known as coach dogs because they ran between the wheels of coaches or carriages and were companions to the horses. Since the 1950s, Dalmatians have traveled with the Budweiser Clydesdales hitch, perched atop the wagon proudly next to the driver.
- The turn-of-the-century beer wagons have been meticulously restored and are kept in excellent condition. They are equipped with two braking systems: a hydraulic pedal device that slows the vehicle for turns and downhill descents and a handbrake that locks the rear wheels when the wagon is at a halt.
