Clydesdale World Championship
If you live not too far away , and are looking for something to do with the kids, highly recommend going to this event Friday or Saturday in London, ( Agriplex Building at the Western fair).
600 draft horses from all over North America are in London - including the 8 hitch Budweiser team.
Wonderful day! 
$15.00 per adult

I seen the Budweiser team while in Florida a few yrs ago at none other than bush gardens. WOW very impressive animals to say the least. Just stunning to see the size of these Clydesdales, I drive by a farm that has about 6 of them in pasture and they are big but the Budweiser team has them by a few ft in height

I sat beside a guy from England. I had no idea there were so many draft breeds. He had shires.

I used to take the kids every year to the Markham fall fair and what always impressed me most were the Percherons. Amazing beasts.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

As a preschooler, Vic Cookson in Maple Grove had draft horses, probably Belgian Greys. Still remember walking around on their huge backs when I was 4-5.

At that event, I was amazed to hear of so many draft horse breeders in ON - lots of farms. I had no idea. The biggest seems to be Carson Farm near Listowel.

Yes - those big draft breeds are incredible animals. I go to the local fall fairs to look at them. I used to go to the Royal Fair years ago to see the best teams. Im glad you mentioned it - I'll head to the Royal this year.
