Shoeing a Clydesdale can be very hard work for a farrier. Their horseshoes are not just extremely large but also weigh over 2.5 kg. This means they weigh four to five times as much as the shoes of warmbloods or thoroughbreds. Although Clydesdales tend to be stocky and extremely heavy they can move very elegantly. They are famous for their gait they lift their beautiful white legs very high and with great force. For this reason they arent just used as draught horses but also for shows and street parades.Suitable for ages 3 years
