I dont have a clydesdale or anything, but I have had horses since I was 5. What I know about them is. . .. They arent the BEST riding horses, but it can be done, if you get one with the right training, as it is with pretty much ALL horses. I just wanted to correct Zowey too, it is not 2 inches per hand, it is 4 inches per hand. They do require more food, and I'm pretty sure that they need more nutrients?? Maybe. . .. .

They average around $2000 or over $40,000, just depends on what you want. I LOVE this website: www.equine.com I go there every day to look at horses, the advanced search there works well. Also www.dreamhorse.com is also fairly good. They are great websites if you want a horse that might not be a purebred or if you want a purebred they are good for that too. Equine.com is my favorite. Hope some of this helps you out!! Good luck!
