We live in a small mountain resort community and a popular attraction up here is a carriage ride in the village. A good friend of ours owns and operates Victoria Park Carriages here in Big Bear Lake, CA and he introduced us to one of his new horses last week. "Stryker" is a Clydesdale and he's currently in training to pull the carriage. In this photo he's eyeballing the Juniper bush in my front yard... I think he wants to eat it for lunch. (The Juniper is visible in the bottom right hand corner of the photo.)
Here's a photo that shows Stryker's full size. I'm no horse expert but trust me - he's enormous and yes, I did have enough "horse sense" to stay away from his massive feet!
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads!
If you would like to join in on the fun you can check out the Camera Critters website here!

Clydesdales are such beautiful horses. You have lovely photos of him.
He's beautiful!
Was wondering where you were on this Camera Critters weekend!! :) how come you have all these interesting posts?
Ratmammy - You should have seen the looks on our neighbor's faces when they saw this humongous Clydesdale clip-clopping down our street and parking in front of our house. It was hilarious!
I have a similar pic in our collection. Gentle animals.
He's a beautiful boy. I absolutely love clydesdales. Great photos.
I love Clydesdales!! They such huge, magnificent horses! Great photo. He is eyeing your bush.
Clydesdales are impressive animals. Always nice to see a photo of one.
How fun is this? Makes me want to get in the car and drive to Big Bear for a carriage ride … almost ;--)
Mine’s at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,
I think these are the best of the breed - I just love them!
Nice picture.
Thanks for visiting mine today.
He is a beautiful horse, I love the big horses, visit my blog and see the horse I posted last week.
