The Clydesdale horse was bred for agricultural work in Lanarkshire in the early 18th century. The reputation of the horses’ great strength and hardworking nature spread and soon the breed was also used in the coal mining industry, for forestry work and for general draught work in the cities. In the 19th century Clydesdale horses were exported to Australia, New Zealand and America.Following a low in numbers in the 1960s and 70s the Clydesdale horse is classified as ‘At Risk’ by the Rare Breeds Society
