Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Clydesdale was developed in which country?

Answer: Scotland

The Clydesdale originated in Scotland. They were developed in Lanarkshire, which was known historically as Clydesdale, when imported Flemish stallions were mated in native mares to increase their size.
2. Clydesdale horses are bred and used to promote which brand of beer?

Answer: Budweiser

Most of the horses used by Budweiser are bred in Missouri. The Clydesdale has been associated with the brand since the 1930s, dating from the time that prohibition was repealed.
3. The Clydesdale is classed as a draft horse.

Answer: True

The name derives from "drawing" or "hauling" and reflects the original use of the horses for pulling plows or other agricultural machinery and wagons.
4. The Clydesdale is known for its white legs and long hair around its ankles. What is this known as?

Answer: Feathers

The feathers are a distinctive feature of the breed and should be soft and silky.
5. What is the nickname of the Clydesdale?

Answer: The Gentle Giant

The Clydesdale gets its nickname because it is so gentle for its large size.
6. Which is the traditional, and most common, color of Clydesdale?

Answer: Bay

Usually, a well-bred bay Clydesdale sells for a whole lot more than a well-bred roan, black, chestnut, or brown, unless they are from a very well known and respected breeder.
7. Sampson, born in 1846 and listed as the tallest horse in the Guinness Book of Records was a Clydesdale.

Answer: False

Sampson was actually a Shire horse who stood at over 21 hands, which is around seven feet. Clydesdales average around eighteen hands, making them among the tallest horses.

Answer: Most extreme

Clydesdales make great dressage horses because of this, and also because of their disposition (attitude), agility, willingness, and durability.
9. What is the style called when a Clydesdale has his mane done up in those small "pigtails"?

No one knows who first started braiding the Clydesdale's mane this way. Today, no Clydesdale enters the ring without it.
