CLYDESDALES
Issue #4
•Clydesdale is a district in Scotland (named after the Clyde River) which is now best known for breeding a particular type of draft horse. Bred for pulling heavy wagons or sturdy plows, the horses are known for being strong, patient, and docile. •The breed began with a strain of Flemish horses that were imported to Scotland and bred to local mares. The term ‘Clydesdale’ was first used in 1826, and the first official registry of Clydesdales appeared in 1877. Between 1885 and 1945, about 20,000 were exported to other countries, especially Australia and New Zealand. •Originally, they were short and stocky animals. By 1940, breeders were working hard to increase the physical size of Clydesdales, turning the breed from a compact horse to a large stately horse that looked more impressive in parades. •Conscripted for use during World War I, their numbers tumbled drastically. Increasing mechanization led to further decline in the population. Soon they were rare. By the mid-1970s, there were fewer than 900 breeding Clydesdale mares in all of the United Kingdom. Today, their numbers have increased, although there are still fewer than 20,000 registered worldwide. •Of the approximately 4,000 Clydesdales that currently live in the U.S. and Canada, about 250 belong to AnheuserBusch, making it one of the largest herds of Clydesdales in the world. They are bred in Missouri not far from the Anheuser-Busch brewery, and turn out about 15 new foals per year. Three different teams of ten horses each are constantly on tour, attending parades, fairs, and the Superbowl. •When Adolphus Busch married Lilly Anheuser in 1861, he married into a family-owned brewery. He jumped into the business. His suggestions turned the St. Louis factory into a showplace. •When he discovered a new recipe for beer which involved fermenting the brew twice, he bought the rights and named the new beer after the Czech town where he discovered the recipe: Budweis. After studying the work of Louis Pasteur, Adolphus became the first to pasteurize beer, which allowed it to be shipped without loss of quality. •When he died in 1913, his brewery was one of the foremost in the country. His son August Busch took over, but then disaster struck: Prohibition. For years the brewery hung in there, squeaking by on sales of yeast and a nonalcoholic beverage. •When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, a celebration was called for. August’s son (August Jr.) had recently purchased a team of magnificant Clydesdales as a gift for his father, and they garnered so much attention that August Sr. knew he could spin a major media spectacle out of them. •He had a gleaming beer wagon and six magnificent Clydesdale horses delivered from St. Louis to New York City where they paraded up Fifth Avenue with 10,000 people following. At the very moment Prohibition was repealed, employees handed a legal beer to Governor Al Smith, who had constantly lobbied for repeal of Prohibition. The brewery got pages of free publicity from this spectacle, and has been associated with Clydesdales ever since. •Anheuser-Busch is the largest brewing company in the U.S., providing about half of all beer consumed in the country.
