THE ULTIMATE CLYDESDALE EXPERIENCE
UP CLOSE, PERSONAL & HANDS ON WITH
THE WORLD’S MOST ICONIC BREED, NEAR ST. LOUIS, MO
IT’S TWO HOURS OF CLYDESDALE AWESOMENESS
No ropes. No crowds. Just you (and limited group of up to three others at a time), the freedom of the barn, and some 2,000-pound legends who love attention.
Brush their coats. Feel their breath on your shoulder. Feed them by hand.
The Ultimate Clydesdale Experience pulls you right into the heart of the action — a fully guided, completely unforgettable encounter led by the JFP Equine team and told through the one-of-a-kind story of JFP Equine.
TOP 10: WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR ULTIMATE CLYDESDALE EXPERIENCE
1️⃣ Meet the Herd
Start your visit face-to-face with our gentle giants — each one with their own story, quirks, and favorite side of the barn.
2️⃣ Scratch Their Favorite Spots
They insisted we add this one. (You’ll know when you hit the right spot — you’ll get “the look.”)
3️⃣ Learn Clydesdale Fun Facts
Ever wonder how much a Clydesdale eats, weighs, or poops in a day? (Had to throw that one in there!) Come ready to laugh, learn, and leave with trivia you’ll actually brag about.
4️⃣ Comb That Mane, Brush Their BIG Bodies
When you’re grooming a horse that’s 18 hands tall, “full coverage” takes on a whole new meaning.
5️⃣ Vacuum a Clydesdale
Yep, you read that right. Around here, “barn chores” come with suction power.
6️⃣ Mix Their Feed
See what it takes to fuel a 2,000+ pound athlete (hint: it’s not a salad).
7️⃣ Hand-Feed from the Bucket
There’s nothing quite like feeling a 5-inch muzzle (backed by a 2,000 lb body) ‘gently’ nudge for more.
8️⃣ Experience Treat Time
Because even Clydesdales deserve dessert. 🍎
9️⃣ Take EPIC Photos
Strike a pose, hug a giant, and leave with memories (and selfies) that’ll make your friends jealous
🔟 Hear the JFP Equine Story
From a boyhood dream in Manitoba, Canada, to competitions across North America, to a 25-year career managing the Budweiser Clydesdales — over seven decades of draft-horse experience have led us to today. Your Ultimate Clydesdale Experience is filtered through that unmatched story.
SMALL GROUPS,
BIG EXPERIENCE
Only four participants per session — giving you the space to connect, learn, and laugh without the crowd. With such an intimate setting, every guest gets genuine one-on-one time with our Clydesdales and the people who know them best. You won’t just watch the magic happen — you’ll be part of it.
Every session is different, because every horse — and every guest — brings their own energy to the barn. What never changes is the feeling you’ll leave with: calm, awe, and maybe a little hay on your shirt. Spots fill fast and we keep them small for a reason — the best Clydesdale moments can’t be rushed.
