The wonder and magic of a Clydesdale
horse walking on the street and
sidewalks of our downtown neighborhood
was a real thrill for a few hundred
people in Punta Gorda Florida today.

From 12 to 2 PM his two
guardians/trainers allowed us to walk
with him, pet and talk with him, take
pictures of him and with him. He was very well behaved. No balking or
shying away when stepping up on the
sidewalk or around street signs. No
batting his beautiful eyes when the kids
talked in their loud voices. No snorting
or shaking his head when we all crowded
in to pet him.

There are three teams of Budweiser
Clydesdales that travel the USA. Each
team has 10 horses - 8 for pulling the
wagon with two in reserve. This horse is
part of a team visiting Florida where
they are to be shown at the Arcadia
Rodeo. Arcadia is the town in
approximately the center of Florida
cattle country.

The young lady holding his harness says
each team is on the road about 300 days
every year. Her particular team is based
in St. Louis.
