Description
"A breed of contradictions, the mighty Clydesdale has its roots in Scotland and was named after the River Clyde and it's valley.
Throughout history, Clydesdales have been invaluable companions, be it as drum horses for the British army or as tireless helpers in settling Australia. Since draft horses have been replaced by machines in most areas. Modern Clydesdales are mostly bred for show and as reliable, surprisingly elegant riding horses.
Originally, Clydesdales had a modest height of around 150 cm(.) Now they count as one of the tallest breeds, at over 180 cm, with some Clydesdales claiming records for their size.
Their silhouette is defined by their long legs, high withers, and striking feathering on their lower legs. Common in most draft breeds, the Clydesdale's long, luxurious feathering if often enhanced by white markings.
The Clydesdale is a fluffy companion with a gentle heart and a willing disposition. If you are looking for an impressive yet elegant show horse, the Clydesdale is head and shoulders above the rest!"

Trivia
- While Clydesdales do not carry the sabino (SB1) gene, the term is still used for horse breeds who do not carry the true gene but have white leg markings above the knees and hocks with jagged margins, wide blazes, and belly spots or roaning. This pattern has been informally labeled “draft-type sabino” and can produce many sabino-like patterns from minimal to extensive marking and roaning. The true gene(s) causing this pattern has yet to be identified/isolated.[6][7][8][9]
- Erinys and Petra use the Clydesdale model.
- The Clydesdale was the first horse breed in-game to have hairstyles with decorations.
- They were also the first breed to have different colored decorations for each variation.[2]
