I have just acquired my first 16 year old Percheron and will be gettting him on Sat. He's 100% love at first sight!

When I was a toddler in the early 60s my parents bought me a rocking horse. My mother told me (when I was a teenager) that I was on my rocking horse all the time. As a teenager my two younger brothers and I would go horsebackriding for $20 an hour each.
That was back in the 70s. I haven't gone horsebackriding in a while. I always wanted to
board a horse for my daughter but my husband and I realized we couldn't afford it. I'm a good scratchboard artist and horses are my favorite subject. I have sold some of them but neglected to make prints.
I'm active with petitions with two humane associations to stop the slaughter of horses. I'll always love horses and if I could I would have two Clydesdales for my
husband,daughter and I to ride. Horses are such noble animals.

You put it on your BUCKET LIST and go for it. Somehow all dreams should happen.

I have a clydesdale and he is so handsome his name is Merlin. Me and my mum do absolutely anything for him. He is 21 now but even though he is getting slower I think he still has alot of life left in him. He does suffer with feet problems and lots of money has gone into it and I was wondering if they are common to get problems like that? I do advise if you buy one to rug them in the winter by the time they are 18 beacuse they start using all of the food you give them to keep them warm and become anorexic.

A Clydesdale is a big guy and from what I have read, many are subjected to feet problems. He is older and even us humans have foot problems as we get older. There are various foot balms that are recommended - I don't know if they work or if they help. The way I look at it is if they are natural then what can it hurt. I have a litle amazon who is 27 and he has arthritis in his toes. Now I can't give him aspirin but he gets around just fine.

I have a beautiful Clydesdale stallion that is seven years old. He takes a rider and drives. I need to find just the right situation for him in order to part with him.

We got our Percheron Odin in July. What a great horse breed.

I have just bought a Percheron gelding and every time I look at him, his noble manner and bearing takes my breath away. He is the first Draft Horse I have ever owned and I can only hope to do right by him.

I am just in the waiting for my little guy to be ready to leave mommy and come home. I am excited but nervous, and feel the same way hopfully I do right by him. Plan to show him and wow what an awesome trail rider he will be.

Debbie, I am taking delivery on a Percheron gelding also. My first draft, finally a horse I feel small with. He is a liver chestnut, though, and everyone keeps telling me he has to be a cross as they don't come in that color. But with no papers, I can't prove pureblood.

That's a beautiful horse.

These amazing horses are so beautiful. My dad and I both want to buy at least 1, possibly 2. I would also like to get some better riding horses. These horses are too beautiful to ride.
