charli watkins - 2011-04-12 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.

Charlie Roche - 2011-04-12 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.

Sharon - 2010-10-27 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.
-_- : ) =) => J - 2009-06-13 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.
The Clydesdale is one of the most popular heavy horses in the world!
