Clydesdales Horse in Southeast Taxes Mardi Gras

  • 3 years ago
If you were at the Southeast Texas Mardi Gras celebration, chances are you saw the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales leading the parade.
The horses come with an 80 year tradition dating back to 1933 when they were first introduced after prohibition.
Zachary Uding has been a Clydesdale handler for 1 year. He says working with the horses is a joy.
We travel about 300 to 320 days a year, so we have many stops that we do, Uding tells KFDM News.
He says before the horses can begin traveling, they undergo years of training.
At 4 years old, the horses can finally become a part of the show tradition.
