The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales are scheduled to make several appearances in the area from Sept. 17–24. This is their first time back in Mike Hawkins Distributing’s service territory since 2000, and they will be staying at the Washington County Fairgrounds in conjunction with the 150th Washington County Fair.
Special events to view the Clydesdales include retailer appreciation days, case deliveries to downtown Brenham retail accounts, as well as select traveling one horse shows. Additionally, the eight-horse hitch will be harnessed and hitched to the famous red beer wagon at the Washington County Fairgrounds on Friday, Sept. 21, and Saturday, Sept. 22, from 6:15pm–8:15pm.
The Clydesdales’ appearance in Brenham is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches. Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to America in the mid-1800’s.
Horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least three years of age, stand approximately 18 hands, or six feet, at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, must be bay in color, have four white legs, and a blaze of white on the face and black mane and tail. A gentle temperament is very important as hitch horses meet millions of people each year.
A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much as 20 t0 25 quarts of feed, 40 to 50 pounds of hay, and 30 gallons of water per day.
Each hitch travels with a Dalmatian. In the early days of brewing, Dalmatians were bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon when the driver went inside to make deliveries.
The Clydesdales invite you to join them for these festivities and celebrate with a cold Budweiser with the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales while they are in the area.
