Clydesdales Horse in Southeast Taxes Mardi Gras

If you were at the Southeast Texas Mardi Gras celebration, chances are you saw the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales leading the parade. <br />The horses come with an 80 year tradition dating back to 1933 when they were first introduced after prohibition. <br />Zachary Uding has been a Clydesdale handler for 1 year. He says working with the horses is a joy. <br />We travel about 300 to 320 days a year, so we have many stops that we do, Uding tells KFDM News. <br />He says before the horses can begin traveling, they undergo years of training. <br />At 4 years old, the horses can finally become a part of the show tradition.
