The Clydesdale horse is one of the most beautiful, gentle and peaceful breeds. This breed was developed from the farmhouses of Clydesdale, a county in Scotland. The use of the name Clydesdale was recorded since 1826 but the first breed registry was formed officially in 1877. Clydesdale horses are one of the largest breeds in the world who are no longer endangered and can be easily found in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.
As for this breed’s physical features, according to the the Clydesdale Horse Society ‘s website “A Clydesdale should have a nice open forehead, broad between the eyes, a flat profile, wide muzzle, large nostrils, a bright clear intelligent eye, big ears and a well arched long neck springing out of an oblique shoulder with high withers”.
Clydesdale’s hometown wants to honor this gorgeous breed by building a “magnificent” horse sculpture. The Lanark Community Development Trust is trying to raise funds so that their project could come to life. Their entire community takes pride in Clydesdale and want to cherish and celebrity the relationship and the long history that they have together by erecting this sculpture.
Lanark Auction Market was the place where these horses were traditionally sold for more than 100 years, therefore, the sculpture is set to be located in this Market. Chairman Sylvia Russell declared that this project could also open up a new interest in Clydesdale horse and Lanark’s agricultural heritage. This sculpture will be an attraction for every tourist and horse lover people.
