The
Clydesdale
breed
is
believed
to
have
originated
in
Clydesdale
County
Scotland,
primarily
used
for
doing
heavy
labor
on
farms.
The
Budweiser
Clydesdales
made
their
first
appearance
in
April
of
1933.
They
were
a
gift
from
August
and
Adolphus
Busch
to
their
father
and
celebration
of
the
repeal
of
prohibition.

them
to
the
wagons,

eight
of
them
here,
get
ready
to
hook
them
up
