2. They know the power of a smile, and they aren't afraid to use it.

5. In 1975, Clydesdales were on the vulnerable list for survival. Today, they're alright. The breed's popularity is ever growing and it's estimated that 600 foals are born each year!
6. YAY BABIES!
7. Though the brown/bay color combo you've seen in beer commercials is the best known coat for a Clydesdale, their coats appear in a range of colors - including adorable dapples!
8. Adolescent Clydesdales are always nagging their moms: "When'll I be old enough to advertise Budweiser, ma? I have the right coloring!!"

10. They can LEVITATE! (Kind of.)
11. They can have both bad and good hair days...just like us.
12. They're seriously the most gentle giants you'll EVER meet - watch the video below of a clydesdale being ridden for the first time. It's the sweetest thing I've seen all day!!
