[QUOTE="Woolless, post: 8021141, member: 3403"] The Clydesdale is getting worryingly low in numbers, having powered Scotland's farms in their hundreds of thousands. I take your point about flushing a mare with functional issues as a mother but it happens in Texels and they're no rare breed! A Clydesdale should really be judged on its worth as a workhorse anyway but I suppose the showring is where their merit is judged now. One of my favourite photos is of my mum at three years old leading up Neddy, the Clydesdale workhorse. Mum is only 72 but Neddy was still in regular use at that time. Just shows how much things have changed. [/QUOTE]
