We have looked at bows for his fanny, flowers for his mane and now feathers for his feet. That's what they called the long hair that grows down the leg and over the hoof which is a trademark of the Clydesdale draft horse. These feathers have to be washed with soap and water and are a chore to be kept clean for parades. Also, a word about horseshoes-Clydesdale horseshoes measure more than 20 inches from end to end and weigh about 5 pounds each which is more than twice as long and five times as heavy as the shoe worn by a light horse. I should have snapped a photo of the bottom of a Clydesdale hoof when they had a leg up in the air because it is an awesome sight to see the humongous size of a Clydesdale horseshoe. You don't want one of them tramping on your feet.
Another good one chocked full of horses and information.
