I had friends who lived in Saint Louis for a while and it was on my list to get out there to see the city and Grant's farm. Unfortunately, they were transferred to DC before I got out there, so I never made it to the farm to see the Budweiser Clydesdales.

Their breeding program seems second to none and the selection process is rigorous, which has turned the horses into an American icons and to me, exude raw power, beauty and grace all in one package.
