Clydesdale now a rare breed.

(1/2) > >>

Kiwi:
One of the most beautiful horses, very gentle giants.  :)

Sarah:
How comes they're rare?

They actually look gentle in their face.

Kiwi:
Draught horses used to be the farm horse's and only forms of transport that was used until the invention of the motor car, then trucks and tractors took over.

The horses role in the farming communities were over.

They are one of the biggest horse breeds in the world. The stand well over 20 hands. Some of them their hooves can be as big as dinner plates.

Alot of money and work is require to keep them. And it just cost too much, and farmers stop breeding them.

newman:
I love the 'feathers' around their hooves.

Half-Clydesdales make good riding horses for novices because they are very gentle  and not prone to be flighty.

That is sad though how can they then be efficiently saved? They can't survive as wild horses can they?

They'd make good road side drain sweepers and then they could be used, and you wouldn't need to power vehicled ones. :)
