Once they learn that cute little trick....what’s to keep them corralled? LOL

They are built for pulling....not jumping, especially in competition.

Clydesdales have a much more sloping shoulder than your average draft horse, thus are better jumpers. They are not built or intended for heavy draft work, hence you will (almost) never see them hitched to a stoneboat or doing the heavy pulling that Belgians and Perches do.

They were originally bred as a smaller and more refined draft horse, although they have gotten bigger over the years. But they are still the breed of choice to add size and 'bottom' to hunters for big guys - they just have a generally more refined appearance, better heads, cleaner legs, etc.

Watching horse pulling at the county fair was great. A team of 2 can pull a lot of weight. They are ready to pull but always wait for the signal. Awesome draft horses. They use all different breeds that sign up.

Tractor pulls are also great entertainment.At our county fair, they start with old (antique) tractors and go up to the jet? propelled. The last ones can be hard to control when they take off.
