A Little History
Did you know the Clydesdale breed has been an integral part of the Anheuser-Busch family since 1933? That’s when August A. Busch Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father, August A. Busch Sr., with a remarkable gift—a hitch of six Clydesdales to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition. This heartfelt gesture quickly turned into a tradition that not only wowed audiences but also solidified the Clydesdales’ status as symbols of the company’s heritage and commitment to quality.
Fast forward to today, and the team of Clydesdales has grown to a group of eight horses! These gentle giants make hundreds of public appearances annually, charming crowds all over the United States, including multiple stops right here in Knoxville.
