Description
These beautiful big horses were the backbone of Australia as they ploughed, harrowed, and harvested the crops that helped feed our young nation. They were quite often the only mode of transport for the families and carted the food and water, building supplies etc. to the vast outback homesteads.

I had to see this one. My wife just celebrated a birthday this week by riding a Clydesdale horse. A bucket list item for her. Wonderfully captured and framed. L/F

Wow, that would have been quite an experience! She would have needed a ladder to get on it's back. Thanks for your kind comment Glenn
