Schleich Clydesdale mare

Clydesdales are strong, large horses. Their slightly curved nose, long ears and short neck are typical. They have a friendly temperament, are willing to work and are versatile. Shoeing a Clydesdale can be quite a sweaty business for a farrier. The horseshoes are not only extremely large, but also weigh a good 2.5 kilograms. This makes them four to five times heavier than the shoes of warmbloods or thoroughbreds. Although Clyesdales are rather bulky and above all heavy, they can move very elegantly. They are known for lifting their beautiful white legs particularly high and with great impulsion. This is why they are not only used as draft horses, but also for shows and street parades. Clydesdales have very large hooves. From start to finish, their horseshoes measure 50 centimetres.
