Our horses
Meet our team of Clydesdale horses - Pete, Eva and Kimberly - who are very special members of our farm. John, our Wagon Boss, is the leader of our Clydesdale team.
The Clydesdale breed is the pride of Scotland and hails from the River Clyde in Lanarkshire. The name “Clydesdale” pays homage to the region where these horses first emerged, dating back to the mid-18th century. Clydesdales have been traditionally used for agricultural work, wartime service, and are more recently recognizable through the Budweiser Clydesdales and other parade hitches.
With "gentle giant" temperaments, each of our horses has a story - and a personality that shines the moment you meet them.
