The Budweiser Clydesdales are in town

We went to the Kmart parking lot to see the Clydesdales.  They were magnificent, but it seemed odd to see them there.  Our neighbor, Teagan's friend Grace was there also and the girls were thrilled to see the horses together.
Some information we learned about Budweiser Clydesdales:
-The full grown Clydesdale should stand 18 hands (about 6 feet) at the shoulder and weigh between 2,000 and 2,300 pounds.

-The ideal horse is bay in color has a blaze of white on its face, a black mane and tail.
-Most importantly, the Clydesdale will have white feathering on all four legs and feet.
-All hitch horses are geldings, characterized by their even temperment and stronger, more natural draft horse appearance.
