Budweiser Clydesdales Visited Us

We got a big treat here in Sahuarita today. The Budweiser Clydesdales were brought to our local Fry's (a grocery store) for a Budweiser event. They are truly beautiful creatures.....and big! Do you remember the Superbowl commercial of "Hank" who wanted to become a member of this years Budweiser Clydesdale hitch team? Remember he didn't make it but ended up being trained by the Dalmation so he could be in shape the next year. If not, click here. They told us that during that commercial about eight horses were actually used as "Hank". The one pulling the actual train....is Parker. I'll point him out later on and the guy that welcomed him to the team was one of the guys here showing the horses! Actually, it's the man in the first picture.


These are the lead horses and the guy watching them was in the superbowl commerical too!

Mackinzi in front of Parker.

Parker is sticking out his tongue! Apparently, he's a bit of a trouble maker! He was biting the reins a lot too!


Of course, the dalmation. He's extremely affectionate!


Driving the horses! Kinzi took this picture!



These are the clydesdales traveling accomodations!



Just a close look.
