Okay, this big boy has had a rough life.


Here is a alittle there owner has told me about him


"We got him, because his owner changed the direction of their farm, and he had TERRIBLE scratches front and back that were untreated for years! The last year he sat in pasture. I saw no point leaving him some where he had no use other than a pasture ornament. His previous owner feed him sugar cubes like they were hay!

He loads, cross ties, lunges (spoken to in German), bathes. The farm I got him from did ride him in front of me, he did all kinds of neat stuff, but you could see he was in pain due to the scratches. He is now on his way to recovery. He is about 1/2 way there.

This guy listens to his halter, he is as light as a feather.
He is trained in training level dressage, but he knows more advanced stuff.
He is smart and easily could convert to your choice.
"



She also said he was a theraputic horse for people off all ages.

I gave up before on finding a clydesdale becuase I just couldnt find one that I REALY wanted. I decided I would look on the one last time for one and I saw him. I fell in love (I always go for the ones with a rough life style.)

Heres a picture of him. His name is Buddy...if I get him that name is going, so if you like you can give me a few names you might like for him.

He is a looker! I hope he works out for you.

I always thought the name "Cogs" would be interesting for a Clydesdale. I'm not sure why.

I'll try to think of more names. But I'd suggest on waiting until you've actually bought him to pick out a name. When I was trying to buy my first horse I made a verrbal agreement to buy a horse that I renamed from "Biscuit" to "Dune" (sorry, but I'm not a big fan of the name "Biscuit") and the owner ended up selling him out from under me. I was 16 at the time and got really emotionally attached because I had already named him. Now I wish I never had, because I love the name "Dune" and want to use it someday but I almost feel like that would be unfair to that horse.

That probably won't happen with you. But I still feel like it's best to wait.

Baretok? How would you say that?


I love everyone's names! Keep them comeing! I have a few names listed down. I type it later.

I am going to go see him next week. He's a good 5 hours away which I don't mind to drive but I would be driveing with a trailer because if I do want him I am not coming back then driving back a few days later. Just not happening so I am taking the lazy way. Plus, I would be driveing alone if I did it this weekend and I just shudder at the thought of pulling aroud a 2000+ pound horse by myself so I'm taking the coward way and calling up Dad to do it. :wink:

Oh poor guy! scratches on those legs... and such nice feathering. He hs a sweet eye too. What about Dozer? Its not a tank, but he looks like he could bulldoze through anything
