 | Jake, Clydesdale | The Clydesdale is a breed of draft horse, and probably the most familiar breed. The Budweiser wagon is pulled by Clydesdales. Jake is not quite that famous, but he is a regular at our local fairs and town events, as his owner "travels the circuit" with him. Today Jake posed for pictures with a group of three and four year olds who came for a farm tour. Although he stands over 19 hands (that's horse for about 6-foot-4 at the withers/shoulders), he's one of the gentlest souls I know. | |

 | Jake, close up portrait | Jake is a Clydesdale, and a very large one: he must be a good nineteen hands. When I groom him, I can't see his back, even standing on my toes (and I'm not short, I'm 5'6"). So, sweet boy that he is, Jake will bend a back leg and tilt his back toward me so I can brush him. | |
