Clydesdales Return to City for Fall Foliage03:38PM / Monday, September 28, 2009
Clydesdales Roll Into Town
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - Ten of the world-famous Budweiser Cyldesdales are being stabled in the parking lot of Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art this week. The draft horses - distinguished by their bay coats and prominent white markings - will appear in the 54th annual Fall Foliage Parade this coming Sunday.
They were last in the city in 2005.
They were accompanied by their Dalmation mascot. Eight of the draft horses will haul the Budweiser wagon on Sunday; two horses are spares.
The horses arrived in three tractor-trailers Monday morning and will be avialable for public viewing thanks to Girardi Distributors, which booked the team. The public is invited to stop by their tented stable during daylight hours. |

This herd was brought to Amherst last week for their 250th-anniversary parade. Unfortunately, the weather kept them from marching. But, many of us visited them while they were stabled in Hadley on Bay Road.
Simply beautiful animals, and, as an earlier post stated, probably the best treated horses aside from some thoroughbreds.
As a side note, they got some negative press in Amherst because of the unending tension with students and drinking, and the wagon delivering beer to local bars prior to the parade appearance. But...it's Amherst... | | from: Observer | on: 10-01-2009 |

| I would wager these are the best-cared-for horses on earth. Better care than 90% of humans receive, for sure. They probably have a better health insurance plan than mine! :) | | from: | on: 09-29-2009 |

Those are stalls, brought on trailers and set up - not cages. Big horses in big box stalls.
The horses are obviously happy and supremely well-cared for. Relax! Enjoy these magnificent beasts while they're here. | | from: horsegirl | on: 09-28-2009 |

Please tell me the horses are not kept in those "cages" all the time.
Editor: I think the bars are to protect the horses from their fans. They're not unusual on box stalls and the horses are very well treated and seemed quite content. | | from: anonymous | on: 09-28-2009 |
