Breyer Clydesdale Stallion - Black Sabino

The Clydesdale is a breed of heavy draft horse developed in the early nineteenth century by farmers in the Lanarkshire (previously Clydesdale) district of Scotland. It was bred to meet not only the agricultural needs of the local farmers, but also the demands of commerce for the coalfields of Lanarkshire and for all the types of heavy haulage on the streets of Glasgow. Three words - strength, agility and docility - depict in brief the main characteristics of the Clydesdale. Additionlally, the Clydesdale has a very distinctive look when compared with other draft breeds. The combination of vivid body colors, bright white faces, and long white "feathered" legs with a high-stepping gait and head held high leave no question that you are looking at a Clydesdale.
