Clydesdale gelding born 2005; half-brother to Jerry. One of Clay’s unique physical characteristics is his blue eyes, which are rare in Clydesdales.
Clay is a little shy and picks his people. Gaining his trust is a heartwarming experience as the partnership provides equal rewards to us and him. As a carriage horse, Clay has become one of our most trusted, reliable, honest horses we could ask for. He now trains our new drivers, being reliably safe yet honest in how he reacts to our requests… making us all be better drivers! Clay’s nickname is “Carl”, coming from a clinician who we worked with years ago that couldn’t remember Clay’s name. Carl just kinda stuck. LOL.
The Clydesdale horse is listed on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust list as a species vulnerable to extinction. In 2010 the worldwide population was estimated to be 5,000.
