"Thudding hoofs and flowing hair,
Style and action, sweet and fair,
Bone and sinew well defined,
Movement close, both fore and hind,
Noble eye and handsome head,
Bold intelligent, well bred,
Lovely neck and shoulder laid,
See how shapely he is made,
Muscle strong, and frame well knit,
Thus the Clydesdale. See him go,
To the field, the stud, the show.
Basic power - living force
Equine King - the Clydesdale Horse."
From "My Life With Clydesdales" - George Cox
