Clydesdales enjoy their "heavenly home" at Warm Springs Ranch, in Boonville, Missouri. (Progressive Farmer image by Jim Patrico) Four giants and their four babies stand at the top of a hill on a golden spring evening and peer into the valley. A utility vehicle putters through the pasture at the foot of the hill, stops, and two visitors get out. The giants watch the men from afar, gently shaking their black manes and twitching their bobbed tails. Soon -- when they decide the men are no threat -- they saunter down the slope, keeping their bodies between their foals and the visitors. One man stands in greeting, the other crouches with a camera as the horses draw near. Before long, the men are encircled by muscular bay bodies. Six feet tall at the shoulder and weighing 2,000 pounds, the four broodmares tower over the men. Their hooves are as big as dinner plates, their heads are huge. Despite their size, the mares don't intimidate. Instead, they exude an aura of curiosity. When the giants put their white noses down and sniff the men, it's as if to say, "Nice to meet you." Almost by magic, a preternatural quiet settles over the scene as the two species gaze at each other. The standing man, who knows these horses well, whispers in wonder, "It's surreal, isn't it?" Welcome to Clydesdale heaven, also known as Warm Springs Ranch, in Boonville, Missouri. The standing man is Mark Boese, herd manager for Anheuser-Busch's famous Budweiser Clydesdales. Through more than 20 years of working with the breed, he has embraced the feeling that these majestic horses are special. "We call them gentle giants," he says. "You can walk into a field with a Clydesdale and -- unlike most horses -- they don't run away; they come to you." In fact, they seem to welcome you.

THE CELEBRITY LIFE

A believer in reincarnation might be forgiven for wanting to live his next life as a Budweiser Clydesdale. Their celebrity entitles them to royal treatment. Everywhere they go, people gather and crowds cheer. At Warm Springs Ranch, they have the run of 300 acres of lush pastureland. The 50 to 60 pounds of timothy hay they eat each day -- whether in the ranch barns or when they travel for business -- is imported from a single select farm in Eden, Idaho. The 8 pounds of daily ration they consume contains the highest-quality oats. Their pristine stalls are bedded in shaved wood. The aisles between the stalls are swept then vacuumed. A farrier comes every six weeks to pamper their feet. A veterinarian is on call 24/7 should they feel ill.

Are horses happy when racing?

In the overwhelming majority of cases, horses happily take part in a race.

Do horses enjoy racing?

Running and jumping comes naturally to horses, and we see them doing both those things in the wild. It’s also interesting to note that when a horse unseats its rider during a race, it will continue to run and jump with the other horses. We understand and respect that some people have concerns over animals being used in sport. That’s why we are committed to ensuring that the highest levels of animal care and welfare exist in British racing. Roly Owers, chief executive of World Horse Welfare, states that his organisation “does not accept the claim that horses are unwilling participants in sport. The notion that sport is bad for horses needs to be challenged”. Trainers and jockeys work closely with horses every day, from providing for their basic needs to conducting their training. They develop incredibly strong bonds with the horses and a deep understanding of their traits and moods. There is anecdotal evidence from jockeys that they can recognise physical and behavioural traits that signal the needs and desires of the horse. Without horseracing there would be no thoroughbred racehorse. The care and the support structures that the 14,000 horses in training at any one time receive are superior to those available to almost all other domesticated animals. As a result, racing brings far more life to the horse population than it takes away. And the quality of those lives is astonishingly high. It’s important to note that if a horse does not want to race, it won’t, and very occasionally we see a horse plant its feet and refuse to move. No horse can be made to race against its will. In the overwhelming majority of cases, horses happily take part in a race.
