1. The Clydesdale Horse Marker

Inscription. Clydesdales were developed in the valley of the River Clyde in Scotland. Originally used as a work horse, the Clydesdale has become a very popular parade horse. A typical Clydesdale stands 16.2 hands high and weighs anywhere between 1600-2200 pounds.

The normal gestation period of a Clydesdale is 11 months. New born foals weigh approximately 125 pounds and stand 3 1/2 feet high. They are often bay or brown in color with blazed faces and white stockings as common markings. The other distinctive feature of the Clydesdale is the abundant featherings on the fetlocks.
