Did you know that the Clydesdales came to America in the late 1800's?
History of the Clydesdale
The Clydesdale breed was a significant piece of our past. The Clydesdales carried our ancestors across this great nation, transported our goods, plowed our fields, went to war, and became our friends and companions in our farming communities. USACPF feels strongly that their historical accounts and the accounts of their caretakers need to be part of the Clydesdale history. Everything they did for us to get us into industrialization is now gone.
What can we do for them now?

The Clydesdale breed at war.
The United States shipped several thousand horses to Europe to serve In World War I, as war horses. Many draft horses including Clydesdales were part of this attempt. Unfortunately putting these horses in a war with artillery and gases proved to be very detrimental to their survival. Only a very small part of the equine population returned back to their countries of origin.
The UK Armed Forces Equestrian Association does a wonderful job recognizing the history of this time.
