I never rode a pure Clydesdale, but my husband had a horse who was named “Clyde” because he had Clydesdale somewhere in his lineage and he looked like one except he was all white. Whenever I would ride him in a horse show, the announcers would always say: “Next up we have Bonnie and Clyde” as we entered the ring. Usually the announcer says: Next is (horse’s name) ridden by (rider’s first and last name). But with me it was always, “Here comes Bonni and Clyde.”
LOL, funny stuff and there’s a dearth of that here.
Would you ever consider riding a full size Clydesdale? A galloping Clydesdale would be more like an elephant than a horse.
I’ve ridden a Belgian Draft horse that was so big, we needed to put two girths on my saddle jut so it would fit him. He was actually very comfortable to ride, jumping not so much. We only went over a small cross rail, but it felt like the Kong Wall!
Are Clydesdales the horses fully armored knights used to use when they jousted? Has Bonnie ever ridden one? That would be quite an adventure methinks.

How do you dismount/mount such a gigantic horse? A stepladder?
Definitely need a mounting block to get on one that big. Getting off is easy. Just throw one leg over the hind end of the horse and slide down.
Yay! What’s old is new again!
I really prefer Guinness!
So glad they finally got their heads out of the sand and realized what the TRUE AMERICANS want
Has Budweiser fired the asshole who approved the wokery?
Oh yes!
So refreshing. Glad Budweiser has returned to sanity. Those Clysdales are magnificent animals!
