For the record, the Clydesdales were in Budweiser's 2023 Super Bowl ad, but it was a blink-and-you-miss-it type appearance.

History of the Budweiser Clydesdales In April 1933, August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father, August A. Busch, Sr., with the gift of a six-horse Clydesdale hitch to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition of beer.

The Budweiser Clydesdales and their handlers entered the arena during Saturday's matinee rodeo and tried to perform a "parking maneuver" with the carriage. During the attempt, the two front horses faltered, causing a collision with the pair behind them.

Beer has been brewed in Budweis, Bohemia (now České Budějovice, Czech Republic) since it was founded in 1265. In 1876, Adolphus Busch and his friend Carl Conrad developed a "Bohemian-style" lager in the United States, inspired after a trip to Bohemia, and produced it in their brewery in St. Louis, Missouri.

The Clydesdale breed is said to be “a symbol of America – a symbol of hope, of strength, of resilience”, according to Budweiser's marketing president.

Anheuser-Busch Says It Has Stopped Amputating Tails of Budweiser Clydesdales. The brewing company came under fire from PETA over the practice earlier this year. The procedure, known as tail docking, has been denounced by multiple veterinary organizations and is banned in several states and countries.

The rodeo veterinarian was called to examine the horses and said the downed horse was unharmed and back to work the next day. KSAT reached out to the Anheuser-Busch staff for comment on this story, but given the worldwide attention this video is getting, it's no surprise that they did not get back to us in time.

In 1876 Adolphus Busch stole the name Budweiser from the town of Ceske Budejovice – or 'Budweis' in German – and over the ensuing decades agreements were reached about who had the rights to the name in various parts of the world.

The Budweiser Clydesdales refers to teams of Clydesdale horses used to pull restored turn-of-the-century beer wagons for Budweiser. They first appeared in 1933, given as a gift to the brewery's CEO from his son to celebrate the repeal of prohibition.

The Clydesdale breed was founded in the early eighteenth century when two breeders, John Paterson of Lochlyoch and the 6th Duke of Hamilton, imported Flemish stallions and mated them with native draught mares in the Clyde valley. The Clydesdale's popularity peaked immediately after the First World War.

The horse is a symbol of movement and action. Its powerful energy reminds us that it's not enough to dream, we have to act. If the horse is your spirit animal, it may indicate that the time has come for you to act on your dreams and desires.
