Clydesdale Mare

Clydesdale Mare - Main image
$5 $9.99 In stock

Shoeing a Clydesdale can be very hard work for a farrier. Their horseshoes are not just extremely large, but also weigh over 2.5 kg. This means they weigh four to five times as much as the shoes of warmbloods or thoroughbreds. Although Clydesdales tend to be stocky and extremely heavy, they can move very elegantly. They are famous for their gait: they lift their beautiful white legs very high and with great force. For this reason, they aren't just used as draught horses, but also for shows and street parades.

Sophia ★★★★★

Honestly, just the weight alone—over 2.5 kilos per shoe—shows how much thought went into these; they’re solid and hold up perfectly on the mare. My back doesn’t ache after a full set anymore, which is a win I didn’t expect.

Ella N. ★★★★★

My farrier nearly cried with relief when I handed him these—the sheer size alone tells you this mare means business, and at 2.5 kg each, they're built for serious work. Took a bit of muscle to get them fitted, but honestly, that's the job.

Emma ★★★★★

The weight is no joke—each shoe is over 2.5 kilos, which is probably four times what my old gelding wore. It took some getting used to, but the sheer size actually made the whole process more straightforward once my farrier got the hang of it.
